CNN's Kaitlan Collins is facing an angry, enormous backlash on X this weekend after promoting the website for Luigi Mangione’s defense fund. You’ll recall Mangione has been charged with murder and several other charges in the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson. That shooting took place in New York City in early December. Collins posted the link to X on Friday but has since deleted it with no explanation.

Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ @kaitlancollins deleted her post promoting CNN contributor Karen Friedman Agnifilo's website of her defense client, Luigi Mangione. No explanation why.

USALover (@USALover2025) ~ That is a pretty stupid thing for a journalist to do.
Well, that's not the correct kind of "ist" that Kaitlan is - she's an activist, not a journalist.
Bearoff (@bearoffsghost) ~ Has this woman lost her mind?
No, she's just being true to form.
Some posters could not believe that Collins posted the link to a site being used to raise money for a man accused of murder.
Popz Boltz (@PopzBoltz) ~ If she really promoted that, @cnn should fire her. I’m skeptical she did that because it would be something so irresponsible and egregious for an intelligent news anchor to do. But, if true, this is horrible of her and reflects very badly on her employer if left unaddressed.
Priyanshu Jha | System Guy (@humpriyanshuu) ~ Wow, that's a bold move by Collins. Really stirs the pot, doesn't it?
Wisdom Corridor (@WisdomCorridor) ~ Posted and then deleted? Interesting.
TheModernFederalist (@ModernFed) ~ My gosh, the Left has no shame. I'm sure she only took it down to try to protect her job.
Jessica Montgomery (@jessicanolanova) ~ She forgot to switch to her alt.
Ah, forgot to use her alter ego when she posted this, eh?
That could be a possibility, but we don’t know why it was posted.
Many were calling for Collins to not only be removed from the White House press corps but also fired.
Danny (@Fivixz) ~ Kaitlan Collins needs her press pass revoked and to be fired from CNN.
Elizabeth Kurpiel ( @bethk68 ) ~ She has no business being called a journalist. She's a left leaning activist masquerading as one. She doesn't deliver objective news. She's been nothing but rude to Pres. Trump, going back to his 1st term. She doesn't try to hide her disdain for him. It's utterly disrespectful!
CHLOE (@Chloe4Djt) ~ Pull her access to Oval Office & Air Force 1.
Tina (@TheSassyMedusa) ~ I’m so over her. President Trump told her the other day, “I didn’t say you could talk yet. “
Joe (@JCSAZ01) ~ Kaitlan Collins seems to have become nothing more than an antagonist much like Jim Acosta - both adding no value to news.
As of this writing, Collins has not responded to the controversy. CNN has also not responded. We have no official explanation for why the website link was posted to X and then deleted.
Objective journalists do not have to like the sitting POTUS, but they do need to display proper decorum and report the facts in as even-handed of a manner as possible ... AND, they do NOT need to be shilling for obvious murderers who assassinated an unsuspecting victim on the street.
