President Donald Trump lashed out at NBC News correspondent Monica Alba, calling her a “horrible little reporter” after she repeatedly pressed him about his defense of a controversial political ad targeting Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton.
The Thursday confrontation came as Trump backed her Republican opponent Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad featuring Acton’s estranged mother, despite bipartisan criticism of the ad’s use of her painful family history. It marked another hostile exchange between Trump and a White House journalist during a week in which his administration has faced renewed scrutiny over its treatment of the press.
“But do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you?” Alba asked Trump as he spoke with reporters outside the White House.
