Karoline Leavitt Smears Fallen Soldiers In Iran To Attack Media
In a disgusting attack on CNN's Kaitlan Collins, Trump White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt melted down when she was asked to verify SecDef Pete Hegseth's desire that the media ignore the deaths of US Service members in Iran because it makes Trump look bad.
On Wednesday morning, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth gave a press briefing on the state of the war with Iran and shocked anyone watching when instead of offering condolences or a empathic portrait of what happened for the six Americans killed in a Iranian drone attack, he lambasted the press for only wanting "to make the president look bad."
Tom Nichols rightly said, "Pete Hegseth Treats Fallen American Soldiers as a PR Problem."
During Wednesday's White House press briefing, CNN's Collins asked for clarification on how the White House Press Bot wants the media to cover our fallen soldiers.
"Given what Secretary Hegseth said this morning, is it the position of this administration that the press should not prominently cover the deaths of U.S. service members?" Collins asked.
