Meghan McCain Asks Trump To Do What?

Conservative commentator Meghan McCain is calling out the mainstream media once again—this time taking direct aim at CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins after what many are calling a disgraceful display of partisan grandstanding during a White House press briefing.

Collins aggressively confronted Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard over President Trump’s position on declassified intelligence—prompting McCain to slam the CNN host as a “pure partisan hack” who should no longer be allowed to cover the Trump administration.

“Kaitlan Collins is an absolute imbecile,” McCain posted on X. “The White House should pull her credentials. Have some respect for the two women standing before you who are exposing deep corruption and working to keep America safe.”

During the briefing, Gabbard revealed evidence suggesting the Obama administration and its intelligence officials may have deliberately worked to undermine Trump during the 2016 election—echoing long-held concerns among conservatives about weaponized government power and political targeting.

But instead of focusing on the disturbing revelations, Collins tried to twist the moment into a personal attack on Gabbard, suggesting she was only speaking out to “please President Trump.” The hostile question drew backlash from many Americans fed up with CNN’s history of bias and disrespect for conservative voices.

This isn’t the first time CNN’s behavior has raised red flags. During Trump’s first term, CNN’s Jim Acosta famously had his press credentials pulled after repeated disruptions and outbursts—only to be reinstated under pressure from media allies. Now, with President Trump back in office, many are asking if it’s time to hold hostile reporters accountable once again.

In fact, this administration is already taking bold steps to restore balance in the press corps. The Trump White House recently tightened control over daily media access, giving a stronger voice to conservative outlets and shutting out legacy media players that push biased narratives.

Just this week, Press Secretary Leavitt confirmed that The Wall Street Journal has been banned from covering President Trump’s upcoming visit to Scotland. The decision comes in response to what the administration called “irresponsible and false reporting” on alleged Epstein connections—part of the media’s ongoing effort to smear Trump with recycled falsehoods.

The Bottom Line

The American people are tired of one-sided coverage, media manipulation, and reporters who think shouting over women is “journalism.” With President Trump leading the charge, conservative leadership is finally standing up to media corruption—and millions of Americans are cheering them on.
