"When we were in Saudi Arabia, and we were on a foreign trip with the President, and he came in with all the other leaders, including the Saudi crown prince," Collins said. "They do not like the media there, to put it lightly, and I asked a shouted question to President Trump, who had seen me when the U.S. press came in."
"He didn't answer...I mean, that's how it works, you shout questions, they either answer or they don't, that's their prerogative," Collins continued. "And then the world leaders left the room. The Saudi Royal Guard kind of freaked out, because I dared to asked a question."
"They're not used to that there, because they don't have a free press. And so they came up and said, well you can't come into the next event," Collins said. "Which was...two minutes later. And I was like, that's not how this works. I go with the U.S. press, and they were like, well, you're not coming in. And I could see them whispering and pointing about me. And some of the younger white house staff...weren't really sure what to do and they went to Karoline."
"And to her credit, she said, no, Kaitlin is coming in with the rest of the U.S. press. And we went in. And so it didn't become this huge issue," Collins said. "And so to her credit, she, without a doubt, was like, no, you're coming in. Which I do think is important in that moment, when you're the U.S. contingent abroad, and we don't do things like they do in Saudi Arabia."
Total fascists, this administration.
