Vance gushes over 'perceptive' Trump for railing against CNN reporter's lack of smiling
The Megyn Kelly Show/screen grab

Vice President JD Vance praised President Donald Trump as "perceptive" because he complained that CNN's Kaitlan Collins did not smile more.

"I mean, like, there was a moment in the Oval Office. I wasn't even in there, but, you know, I was in the West Wing," Vance recalled to Megyn Kelly on Wednesday. "[Trump] was talking to Kaitlin Collins, who's the CNN anchor... But the president, she's asking a question, the president says, 'Why don't you ever smile?'"

"And it's actually like so perceptive even if you're asking a tough question, even if you take your job very seriously, like why does it always have to be so antagonistic?" he added.

"I laugh because I saw online everybody was calling him sexist for saying that," Kelly replied. "And I literally said the same thing about Kaitlan Collins a year ago on my show."

"She never smiles. Every once in a while, you have to smile. Roger Ailes used to tell us that," she recalled.
