After Collins won an award, Mulvaney responded with solidarity, reposting Collins’ empowering quote about not letting others make you feel inferior — complete with heart emojis. CNN swiftly defended Collins, praising her as a tenacious and trusted journalist. The incident underscores the simmering tensions around public figures, especially women in media and those navigating identity in the spotlight.
