Kaitlan Collins Explains Why She Never Tries To Win the Argument During a Trump Interview: ‘It’s Really Not About Me’

‘I don’t want it to be about my reaction’

TRANSCRIPT:

COLLINS: "In terms of my reaction, I’ve always felt this. Regardless of who’s the president, whether it’s Joe Biden, Donald Trump, those are the two I've covered, it’s really not about me, and I don’t want it to be about my reaction. And so I think if you let it become about that, then it becomes a back-and-forth between the two of us. And instead, I think it’s more effective to remind people in those moments, when he is insulting me or when he is criticizing me, about the question I asked or the reporting that I did that he was so angry about in this moment, and the fact that I got an award for it really bothered him, clearly. And so I just think in those moments, it’s important to put the reminder back on the work, on the question, and on the non answers that we get."
