Trump on ABC News president's resignation: 'Good riddance'
Former President Trump took a shot at ABC News after Kim Godwin, the outgoing president of the network, announced she was leaving Sunday.
"Happy to report that Kim Godwin, Head of ABC, has resigned," Trump wrote on his Truth Social website just minutes after the news was announced. "Could it be the unfair reporting on EVERYTHING TRUMP? In any event, GOOD RIDDANCE! Hopefully somebody else will be able to control George Slopadopolous and the rest of the Fake News Thugs over at ABC? Best wishes Kim!"
Godwin, in a note to ABC News staff, said she had made the decision to leave, writing, “I’m certain it’s the right one for me as I look to the future and prioritize what’s most important for me and my family.”
The network's president for the last three years had faced a steady stream of news reports critical of her leadership and management style in the weeks leading up to her ouster.
Trump has regularly ridiculed mainstream media outlets such as ABC over what often he says is unfair coverage of him.
ABC News is owned by Disney, which Trump and other leading conservatives have accused of peddling "woke" ideology and hostility toward conservative ideas and political causes.
