CNN's Kaitlin Collins Suffers a Meltdown After Trump Admin 'Purge' Starts at Pentagon

The team in the Trump 47 White House has proven that it doesn't believe in the concept of taking off early for the weekend, as evidenced by a steady stream of action from those quarters over the past month since Inauguration Day. They stayed true to form this week, as we shared earlier on Friday, with President Trump firing the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from the Biden administration, and nominating a new JCoS chair.

My colleague Bob Hoge wrote:

Donald Trump made yet another high-profile personnel decision Friday, firing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force Gen. "CQ" Brown Jr.—a vocal advocate for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), which Trump has promised to rid the government of—and is nominating Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine as his replacement.

But that wasn't the end of the announcements from the Trump administration about changes on their way for several branches of the U.S. military.

Indeed, new Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth released a statement later on Friday evening, giving details on planning for "new leadership," while highlighting the commander in chief's "core mission" objectives:

Under President Trump, we are putting in place new leadership that will focus our military on its core mission of deterring, fighting and winning wars.

He commented on both Gen. Brown's departure from the JCoS post and Caine's nomination to it:

The outgoing Chairman, Gen. Charles "CQ" Brown, Jr., USAF, has served with distinction in a career spanning four decades of honorable service. I have come to know him as a thoughtful adviser and salute him for his distinguished service to our country.

...

General Caine embodies the warfighter ethos and is exactly the leader we need to meet the moment. I look forward to working with him.

Hegseth then shared that he has also relieved the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Lisa Franchetti and Air Force Vice Chief of Staff, General James Slife, of their duties, describing their careers as "distinguished," and thanking them for "their service" to America. The DefSec didn't stop there.

In addition to requesting nominees for those roles, Hegseth said he would need three more leaders to fill the positions of the Judge Advocates General for the Army, Navy and Air Force.

Liberal town crier, CNN's Kaitlin Collins pictured with boyfriend below 

alerted her handful of viewers to the "purge" that was underway, in an X post:

The post read:

A major (and long rumored) purge is underway at the Pentagon tonight. After President Trump ousts the Joint Chiefs Chairman, Secretary Hegseth fires the chief of the Navy, the vice chief of the Air Force and says he's “requesting nominations” for the Judge Advocates General for the Army, Navy and Air Force, indicating they'll be replaced. We'll have the latest at 9 p.m. ET.

CNN hasn't been a serious news outlet for years, of course, but the behavior by their anchors truly has reached new lows of late.

What more can you say about these people that hasn't already been said? The histrionics from Democrats' leftist media allies over completely normal administrative moves like these are awesome to witness. But if recent examples of Collins' "journalism" are any guide, she might want to consider easing up on the caffeine just a little, for her own health.
