CNN's Collins asked if journalists would ever "fire back" at Grampy: "Maybe, I don't know. Never say never, I guess." [View all]

During an interview with Andy Cohen for Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday, Cohen asked Collins about Trump calling female reporters “stupid” and “pigs,” and asked if a journalist would ever “break” and fire back at the president.

“Maybe, I don’t know, right?” Collins replied. “Never say never, I guess. But I mean, I truly think as a reporter, you shouldn’t make it about yourself.”

Anderson Cooper also covered the issue on his show, saying Trump had done something “completely unwarranted” by “verbally attacking” Collins when she “did nothing to him ahead of it... at this point she was simply standing there doing her job.”
