Loffe spouts off and later apologizes, as if all is well. Update to this story.
Via Daily Mail:
Donald Trump has deemed a journalist for GQ Magazine a ‘sick women’ after she made a comment that the president has ‘radicalized more people than ISIS’ while appearing on a CNN panel.
‘Well, that must be some kind of a sick woman,’ the president said of journalist Julia Ioffe during Monday night’s sit down interview with FOX News host Laura Ingraham.
Ioffe, discussing the Pittsburgh synagogue mass shooting earlier in the day on a CNN panel with Jake Tapper, said: ‘I think this president, one of the things that he really launched his presidential run on is talking about Islamic radicalization. This president has radicalized so many more people than ISIS ever did.’
At the end of the segment, the 36-year-old apologized for her ‘exaggerated’ comments, saying she was speaking in the ‘heat of the moment’.
But the damage was done, and Ingraham and Trump seized upon Ioffe’s words to label CNN the ‘enemy of the people’ once again.[…]
Laura Ingraham asked Trump about Ioffe’s comments, to which he answered: ‘Well, that must be some kind of a sick woman. When I say ”the enemy of the people” I’m talking about the fake news and you know it better than anybody.’
He then went on to praise his work with North Korea, saying: ‘You have news out there that is so fake and I can do the greatest thing ever, North Korea, as an example.’
