Karoline Leavitt Goes Off on Reporter Who Questioned Her About Renee Good ICE Shooting
Karoline Leavitt was not happy with a reporter questioning the actions of ICE and she tore into the journalist during a press conference at the White House.
The 28-year-old White House Press Secretary, who is currently expecting her second child with her 60-year-old husband, was called out by a reporter for “defending ICE agents generally.”
The comments were made just days after the tragic death of Renee Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent while trying to drive away.

A reporter said, “Earlier you were defending ICE agents generally. Secretary Noem spoke to media and said that ICE is doing ‘everything correctly.’ 32 people died in ICE custody last year, 170 US citizens were detained by ICE, and Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE agent. How does that equate to them doing everything correctly?”
“Why was Renee Good tragically killed?” Karoline replied.
The reporter replied, “Are you asking my opinion? Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably.”
Karoline then went off on him.
“Oh, okay, so you’re a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion,” she said. “You’re a left-wing hack. You’re not a reporter. You’re posing in this room as a journalist. And it’s so clear by the premise question. And you and the people of the media who have such biases, but fake like you’re a journalist, you shouldn’t even be sitting in that seat.”
Karoline just tried to explain Trump‘s comments about not having midterm elections this year.
