Trump blasts Norah O'Donnell to her face during '60 Minutes' interview: 'You're a disgrace'
President Donald Trump blasted “60 Minutes” host Norah O’Donnell to her face after she read a portion of the alleged White House Correspondents' Dinner gunman's manifesto.
O'Donnell quoted directly from the suspect's manifesto, reading a section that appears to refer to the president or administration officials as pedophiles, rapists and traitors. She then asked for the president's reaction.
“I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would…you’re horrible people,” Trump told O’Donnell.
“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 took direct aim at the host.
“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.”
