On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” host Bret Baier reacted to the White House blocking CNN White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins from an event on Wednesday by stating that Fox “stands firmly with CNN on this issue of access.”

After reading from CNN’s statement on the matter, where the network defended Collins, Baier said, “As a member of the White House press pool, Fox stands firmly with CNN on this issue of access.”

Baier also took to Twitter to reiterate his sentiment.
