Karoline Leavitt RIPS Pro-Illegal CBS Piece, WH Press for Ignoring Trump Successes

Tuesday’s White House press briefing was a barn burner for both its brevity and fire from Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt as, after offering the administration’s continued prayers for NBC’s Today co-host Savannah Guthrie and her family as they look for their kidnapped mother, took aim at CBS News for a vile, pro-illegal immigrant article and the wider White House press for ignoring a series of Trump administration successes on basic biology, the border, and the economy.

Leavitt tore into CBS after a question from National Review’s Caroline Downey, who was sitting in the “new media seat.” Notice how Leavitt correctly and directly asked whether CBS and other journalists would support having supposedly non-violent criminal illegals who’ve committed crimes such as distribution of child pornography and DUI:

And here was how she ended the briefing by listing how reporters refused to ask about a record-high Dow, a leading medical group coming out against child gender mutilations, a positive ruling for the administration to continue detaining illegal immigrants, record-low crime rates, plunging rents, improving affordability for home buying, and record-low border crossings:

In between, the liberal, elite press had other priorities such as the Epstein files, last week’s controversial video of the Obamas depicted as apes, Democrats being disinvited from a National Governor’s Association gathering, and a new flare-up with Canada over the Gordie Howe Bridge.

Following a question about the probe into his colleague’s missing mother, NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez asked a series of questions about Jeffrey Epstein, illustrating the left’s never-ending crusade to will into existence some deep ties between President Trump and the rich creep:

Our friend and Daily Caller White House correspondent Regan Reese brought up congressional stammering on the SAVE Act that would secure America’s election systems:

After New York Post’s Steven Nelson followed up on the Guthrie case and wondered why Trump wants Penn Station named after himself, AFP’s Danny Kemp brought up the left’s preferred Trump scandal of the day from late last week:

MRC Bulldog Award winner and Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan then became the only reporter in the room to bring up Monday’s sentencing of pro-democracy newspaperman Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong:

To be clear, Lai was sentenced to a two-decade prison sentence by the Chinese Community Party-controlled regime for the crime of journalism and running a media company that was unwilling to act as a CCP mouthpiece, but the press weren’t interesting in asking the White House about this while, on the other hand, losing their minds over Don Lemon facing charges for partnering with the January 18 church stormers in St. Paul.

Skipping ahead, Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann challenged the administration from the right on the border wall and Daily Mail’s Charlie Spiering inquired about whether President Trump has had any recent contact with the Guthrie family:

Once she finished listening to NPR’s Tamara Keith ask about Epstein and the lack of a Trump meeting with the National Governor’s Association and a Bloomberg reporter also bringing up Epstein, Leavitt arrived at her Kayleigh McEnany-esque closing remarks about policy matters that actually affect the lives of everyday Americans.
