"You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place. Let me just tell ya, you are an obnoxious actually, a terrible reporter, Trump responded. And it's always the same thing with you. I told you, whatever Pete Hegseth wants to do is okay with me. His fiery answer came a moment after he argued with Scott about whether he had recently said he had no problem with releasing the footage. Trump has repeatedly attacked female reporters in recent weeks, including telling one, quiet, piggy."
"Trump, on December 3, said, I don't know what [footage] they have, but whatever they have, we'd certainly release no problem. The president, when Scott asked him about that comment, said he never said that and called ABC fake news. Trump then said whatever Hegseth decides to do is alright with him. He then said there has been a 94% reduction in drug boats smuggling narcotics into the U.S., and claimed each boat that is destroyed saves an average of 25,000 American lives."
President Donald Trump angrily criticized ABC senior political reporter Rachel Scott during an exchange about releasing classified footage of a September 2 military strike on a suspected drug boat. Trump called Scott 'the most obnoxious reporter' and 'a terrible reporter' after she asked whether he would commit to releasing the whole video. He said decisions about releasing footage were up to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and later called ABC 'fake news.' Trump claimed a 94% reduction in drug boats and asserted each destroyed boat saves an average of 25,000 American lives. Critics allege Hegseth ordered an illegal second strike that killed survivors, sparking controversy.
