It’s not wonder that CNN reporter Kaitlin Collins caught some heat from guests at the White House National Day of Prayer event. She was doing a live TV spot on Stormy Daniels while the event was happening, and she’s the only one that could be heard talking:
You can see all the dirty looks she’s getting as her segment begins from people in the crowd.
Apparently one guest gave her more than a dirty look:
A guest at the White House for the National Day of Prayer event tells me I am “pitiful and disgusting” for reporting that President Trump reimbursed his attorney for the $130,000 he paid a porn actress. I think you’re gonna have to take that up with Trump, sir.

Here’s more from the Washington Examiner:
CNN aired a segment on porn actress Stormy Daniels live from the White House just as an event recognizing religious freedom began.
President Trump recognized Thursday as the “National Day of Prayer” and welcomed religious leaders to celebrate at the White House, where reporters were covering the event.
As a choir was brought on stage to perform, CNN White House reporter Kaitlan Collins was brought on air for a live shot to discuss the latest developments about Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen and the payments to Daniels.
Collins then went into her live shot while it was mostly silent at the event, and people could be seen behind Collins turning around to see where the noise was coming from. The choir began its performance when Collins’ segment ended.
Andrew Beatty, a White House reporter for the Agence France-Presse, wrote on Twitter that he was there and called the CNN shot a “Slightly awkward moment in the Rose Garden,” adding that it was “quiet except for the sound a CNN reporter doing piece to camera about Stormy Daniels. Some giggles some questioning glances.”
Consider this an open thread…
