President Donald Trump shut down a second female reporter for attempting to ask a question about Brett Kavanaugh in the Rose Garden on Monday, by scolding CNN’s Kaitlan Collins for asking about reports that the White House is limiting the scope of the FBI probe into Kavanaugh.

“Don’t do that, that’s not nice,” he said, as he wagged his finger at her.

    Sure would’t mind it if one of these reporters pulls out a “mom voice” on him…

    “no dear, you’re just tired and ready for your nap.”

    Or a live-in nurse voice…

    Outreach. It’s what they do.

  4. I don’t understand why other reporters are complicit. Every reporter after her should either ask the same question or hand the mic back to her. If he refuses to answer, they should all walk out, en masse. Anything else just seems craven.
