Congresswoman defends Trump calling female reporter ‘Piggy’: ‘No one is perfect’
Trump’s ‘piggy’ comment defended by congresswoman
- Republican Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar defended Donald Trump after he told Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey to be "quiet, piggy."
- Trump made the comment when Lucey attempted to follow up on a question about deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
- Salazar described Trump as "picturesque" and "difficult," stating that "no one is perfect" and she focuses on his policies rather than his personality.
- The incident is part of a pattern, with Trump having a history of denigrating female journalists, including past remarks about Megyn Kelly and accusations from Alicia Machado.
- Bloomberg issued a statement defending its journalists, while other public figures, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Carlson, condemned Trump's remarks.
