President Trump to ABC News’s Cecilia Vega: “You’re Not Thinking”

HeadlineOct 02, 2018

President Trump is under fire for belittling women reporters at Monday’s press conference in the Rose Garden. This is President Trump calling on ABC News’s Cecilia Vega for the first question of the news conference.

President Donald Trump: “OK, question? Yeah, go ahead. Sure. She’s shocked that I picked her. She’s like in a state of shock.”

Cecilia Vega: “I’m not. Thank you, Mr. President.”

President Donald Trump: “That’s OK. I know you’re not thinking. You never do.”

Cecilia Vega: “I’m sorry?”

President Donald Trump: “No, go ahead.”

The White House has come under fire for editing the transcript of his comments to say “I know you’re not thanking” instead of “thinking.”
