White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared a screenshot of her combative text exchange with a reporter who snidely wondered if President Trump understood the historical ramifications of his upcoming meeting location with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It was glorious. The terse three-word response had been reported by the left-wing journalist. The rest of the exchange with Leavitt, combined with today's comments on social media, just obliterated him on multiple levels.
Trump announced a meeting with Putin in Budapest, Hungary in the coming weeks as he continues to pursue a path to peace in Ukraine.
S.V. Date, a senior White House correspondent for the Huffington Post, apparently texted her wondering who had suggested the location, while providing a condescending history lesson of sorts to Leavitt.
He concluded with, "Who suggested Budapest?"
Leavitt's response? Comedy gold.
"Your mom did," she wrote back.
Date published the comment, along with a slightly condensed version of the same via White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, but left out how he had been a smarmy, weapons grade jackwagon in his initial message.
Fortunately, the press secretary kept receipts. And the follow-up text was equally as brutal.
Leavitt posted the exchange on X, and alleged that the Huffpo hack texts her incessantly with questions from a very biased point of view.
To be fair, everybody on the Huffington Post roster is masquerading as something else - a "real reporter," a competent journalist, reasonable, etc.
Leavitt, meanwhile, has an already extensive history of dispatching with the opposition party - whether in the field of journalism or in the government - with relative ease. And it drives them apoplectic.
Just last week, she raised the ire of the resistance by describing the Democrat party as having a constituency "made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals."

That 1994 meeting had a LOT more promises than just that one! There were a lot of safeguards for Russia that the west agreed to and then ignored.
ReplyDeleteIf the west had lived up to their obligations this war would not be happening.
You obviously know more about the 1994 Budapest meeting than I do. But I'm thinking that no matter what Ukraine or Russia or the West did, this war would still have happened as long as there are old school Russians still alive.
DeleteA little research.. they have pictures of the signing and all that... NATO limited to East Germany, things like that.
DeleteRefreshing to watch and read someone twisting the left's nose and dick...
