CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins and her colleagues in the press pool were ecstatic that President Donald Trump gave them the time of day for the first time in three weeks, when he answered some of their questions at the White House on Thanksgiving Day.
And to commemorate the moment, Collins snapped a selfie with “the crew” of reporters who took part in the Q&A session.
Collins tweeted out her selfie and captioned it: “The crew that got President Trump to answer his first questions in over three weeks. Proud to be part of it. Happy Thanksgiving!”

As the photo began to make it’s way around the twitterverse, onlookers couldn’t refrain from roasting “the crew.”
President Trump’s personal attorney Jenna Ellis replied, “Also the crew that let Joe Biden not answer a single difficult question the entire campaign. You have nothing to be proud of, Kaitlan. You’re not a journalist, you’re an activist.”

Ellis then commented, “LOL cute you think you can ‘get’ Trump to do anything.”

Dan Bongino was not impressed by the photo as he simply responded, “Look at these dorks.”

Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer replied, “Too bad the Biden press pool hardly ever does this…”

Look at this potential super spreader event with all these activists violating social distancing guidelines while congregating indoors https://t.co/gnESlMBaHX

The real challenge will be asking Biden what his favorite color is but I’m sure you will all power through.

Maybe your crew could ask Joe Biden questions regarding the outstanding Ukraine warrant for him? Maybe the Biden business dealings in China? The take for the big guy? In general, maybe your crew could actually practice journalism rather than activism.

Did you remember to keep your mask on when the cameras were still rolling this time? https://t.co/YUW1e14N6q pic.twitter.com/wKCVK3EHZz

Here's Kaitlan back in May. I'm assuming that all these people had their masks on just for the photo. pic.twitter.com/slQOh4iUx9
