Good Morning Britain star Susanna Reid had a 'brilliant' six-word response for a troll on social media
Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid had the perfect six-word retort to a Twitter, now X, troll who targeted her on Wednesday night.
Earlier this week, Susanna, 54, was praised by viewers for her fierce grilling of Robert Jenrick during a fiery interview.
‌
The shadow Lord Chancellor and Shadow Secretary of State for Justice made headlines after footage of him challenging TFL commuters over fare evasion went viral.
‌
In one tense moment captured on film, a man on an escalator hinted he was armed with a blade to deter Jenrick from questioning him further.
Despite the politician's efforts to steer the conversation back to fare evasion during Monday's Good Morning Britain, Susanna zoned in on the alarming revelation of a knife-carrying passenger, reports the Manchester Evening News.
After that hard-hitting interview, one social media critic took aim at Susanna, scornfully asking on Twitter, now X: "When was the last time you got The Tube, Susanna? You, literally, have no clue what it's like."
To which Susanna responded in a six-word response: "I am currently on the tube."
This comeback drew support from Susanna's followers, with one saying: "Brilliant Susanna" and throwing in a thumbs-up and tearful laughter emoji, another chiming in with: "Touché" while another added: "Love a good take down."
‌
Only days ago, Susanna pressed Jenrick on not immediately notifying the authorities upon learning someone might be armed on the underground, expressing her frustration by declaring: "Somebody told you that they were carrying a knife on the London Underground and you didn't report it to the police."
Her anxiety intensified when she said: "I travel on the tube, my kids travel on the tube, and someone has just told you, a former shadow minister, someone who is concerned about policing and obeying the law, you're worried about fare-dodging, I'm worried about people carrying knives, and you didn't report it to the police?".
‌
Jenrick stood by his choice not to inform the authorities, asserting: "It's not about me."
Susanna, however, was unimpressed and rebuked him, stating: "I don't want to be disrespectful to you, you made it all about you."
She wrapped up her argument with a critical observation about the footage: "The video was literally all about you — it's you walking around tube stations, confronting people.
"So to say that you didn't report what was said to you because you're saying you didn't want to make it all about you is disingenuous."
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV and ITV X.
