The Resume

    (October 15, 1980- )
    Born in Rathmines, Dublin, Ireland
    Irish reporter
    Washington, D.C. correspondent for the RTE News network (February 2013 to December 2017)
    Anchor for RTE's Six One News
    Made headlines around the world after President Trump complimented her on having 'a nice smile' (June 2017)

Why she might be annoying:

    She admits to being a workaholic.
    She had an awkward interview with Garth Brooks when he insisted on reversing roles and asking her questions instead.
    She called the President's complimenting her smile 'bizarre' in a tweet.
    The 'nice clip' video went viral on social media with divergent reactions online.
    Detractors accused Trump of yet again objectifying a woman based on her appearance, while supporters claimed that she had a hypersensitive reaction to a compliment.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She received a BA in journalism from Dublin City University.
    Evoke profiled her as 'a ‘one-woman newsroom for a whole continent,' visiting 35 of the fifty states during her time as a U.S. correspondent.
    She has an undergraduate and Masters degree from Dublin University.
    She was called out from the Irish press corps during the President's phone call with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.
    After he asked her name and complimented her smile, Trump said: 'So, I bet she treats you well' (which means whatever you want it to mean, we guess).
