Saturday night, the annual Nerd Prom was suspended after a man rushed the event and shots were fired during his apprehension. To say the least, this level of drama at a media event has the media in hysterics.

One question: Would Norah EVER ask that question of a Democrat?

Immediately after Saturday night’s shooting episode, President Trump sat for a 60 Minutes interview with Norah O’Donnell. In the course of the discussion, the newswoman recanted the exact words from the manifesto of the shooter, getting them broadcast on national airwaves.

What followed was a deeply contentious exchange between the pair.

🚨 WOW! President Trump just REAMED a CBS reporter for reading off the WHCA Dinner's manifesto, referring to admin officials as "pedophiIes""I am NOT a pedophile.

As the shots were heard and attendees at the gala crouched by tables as security moved into the dining room, Kaitlan Collins was managing to deliver some reports from the floor of the hall. She filed a report that the shooter had been killed, based on word she allegedly got from a Secret Service agent.

Making this all the more ridiculous is that she was about to accept the award........
