CNN’s Kaitlan Collins says asking Trump about 'demon sex' doctor 'took the cake'
CNN White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers Thursday night, along with Dana Bash and Kyung Lah, where she spoke about what it was like to ask President Trump about his support for a doctor who believes in demon sex at a recent coronavirus press briefing. After hearing Dr. Stella Immanuel endorse hydroxychloroquine as a cure for the coronavirus, despite multiple studies pointing to the contrary, Trump spoke in support of Dr. Immanuel. He was unaware that in the past she has also talked about women being impregnated in their sleep by demons, alien DNA being used in medical treatments, a vaccine to stop people from becoming religious, and reptilians and other aliens being part of our government.

KAITLAN COLLINS: You never would imagine asking that. And I even left out the most scandalous parts of this woman's, you know, dissertation that she's put online, talking about demon sex.
- CNN's Kaitlan Collins joined "Late Night with Seth Meyers" Thursday, where she spoke about what it was like to ask President Trump about supporting a doctor who believes in alien DNA in medical treatments, demon sperm, and plenty of other things. Collins has been a part of some astonishing moments during Trump's presidency, but she said this one stands alone.
KAITLAN COLLINS: It's a remarkable moment when you're in a pandemic, and we've had so many moments where-- I was in the briefing room when bleach disinfectant suggestion came up from the president. You've been there in other times when he's left the Rose Garden on us because he didn't like our questions. But I think truly that this took the cake.
- Collins says she did her research on some of the doctor's more outrageous claims and that it was clear that Trump had not. But even after being made aware, he continued to support the doctor.
KAITLAN COLLINS: I actually looked into them and read-- and listened to her sermons that she had given, because I wanted to make sure I fully understood what she was saying and that it wasn't being taken out of context. You saw the president responded. I mean, he clearly wasn't aware of this woman's statements before. But then even after we had told him what she had said, you know, he stood by her.
