I totally disagree with the decision to bar her from the event at the Rose garden. It is not a lifetime ban, just one event. But she wouldn't get any questions for a while.

That being said, this is the typical operating procedure for CNN perfected by Jim Acosta. Their goal is to embarrass the President in front of foreign dignitaries in the name of 'freedom of the press'. The event was between Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. The meeting was about trade.

Here are Ms. Collins questions which she asked without being called on.

-Did Michael Cohen betray you, Mr. President?
-Mr. President are you worried about what Michael Cohen is about to say to the prosecutors?
-Are you worried about what is on the other tapes, Mr. President?
-Why is Vladimir Putin not accepting your invitation, Mr. President?

In front of Mr. Juncker at a meeting about trade. CNN. Yep.
