An Oval Office ceremony on August 17 honoring a teenage lifeguard escalated into another confrontation between President Donald Trump and the media when he ordered CNN senior White House correspondent Kristen Holmes to “be quiet.”
Per what Variety reported, Holmes was pressing Trump on North Korea, and while this is hardly the first time he’s lost his temper during a press conference, it’s what came after that is making the headlines. The administration didn’t let it go, and an official X account published two posts attacking the correspondent personally and dragging her children into it.
