Trump Blasts Norah O’Donnell To Her Face During ’60 Minutes’ Interview: ‘You’re A Disgrace’
President Donald Trump sharply rebuked 60 Minutes host Norah O’Donnell during an interview after she read aloud a passage from the manifesto of the suspect accused in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting.
During the exchange, O’Donnell quoted directly from the document, including language that appeared to accuse the president or members of his administration of serious crimes. After reading the excerpt, she asked Trump to respond.
“I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would…you’re horrible people,” Trump told O’Donnell.
He pushed back strongly against the content being read on air, rejecting any connection to the accusations.
“You read that crap from some sick person? I got associated with all stuff that has nothing to do with me,” he continued, adding he was exonerated.
Trump then directed his criticism squarely at O’Donnell herself.
“I’m not any of those things,” he said. “You should be ashamed of yourself reading that. You shouldn’t be reading that on 60 Minutes. You’re a disgrace, but, go ahead, let’s finish the interview.”
