This is good! Short and sweet because there is only so much you can do with it. Ha. It seems she goes on the attack, just like her boss, when she gets a question she doesn’t like. But her responses really are when she returns to being 5. She isn’t even creative about it! It seems that her responses are boring, no matter which question she fires off a (ridiculous) “I don’t want to answer, even though I’m the press secretary, the presenter of (mis) information, so I’m going to be a grade schooler instead.” From Raw Story:
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended answering a reporter’s serious question about why President Donald Trump chose Budapest to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin by saying, “Your mom did.”
“Is this funny to you?” Date wondered.
“It’s funny to me that you actually consider yourself a journalist,” Leavitt wrote back. “You are a far left hack that nobody takes seriously.”
“Stop texting me your disingenuous, biased, and bulls—t questions,” she added.
Oh, my, someone’s getting crabby! It does, indeed, seem just like her boss. She isn’t even creative with her insults. So? A 5-year-old. She goes on the attack when there’s no need for it. Seems this hit a nerve with her – or she’s woefully *under* prepared. You could find any number of reasons for this response. The easiest one would be that she’s embarrassed by the question. She doesn’t want to say anything about Putin and Trump’s location because of exactly what that means and hurts Ukraine. (That’s a whole other ball of wax for a different column.)
Though the reporter’s question was one many others wanted the answer to, Leavitt added: “S.V. Dáte of the Huffington Post is not a journalist interested in the facts. He is a left-wing hack who has consistently attacked President Trump for years and constantly bombards my phone with Democrat talking points.” “Activists who masquerade as real reporters do a disservice to the profession,” she said.
Ha. Touchy touchy! From Steve Guest:
Congratulations to HuffPost for eliciting the most legendary response from the White House. HuffPost asked who picked the location for Trump’s upcoming meeting with Putin.
@PressSec responded: “Your mom did.”
@StevenCheung47 responded: “Your mom.”
Hilarious responses.
Once more, I say, 5-year-old. This is incredibly unprofessional. And she’s the public face of the White House. She sounds just like Trump. I wonder if he gives her classes on how to redirect, attack, and obfuscate. What do you want to bet this is already out in the wild and we are being laughed at again? Yup, no bet, it is. Just when you think they couldn’t go any lower, they do. They do.
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
