Karoline Leavitt was incredible on Friday fending off corrupt media smears, negative comments and lies.
Vigilant Fox shared a thread of Leavitt’s performance on Friday in front of the White House MSM press.
She first addressed the audacious lies of the media insinuating that President Trump was going to the Middle East to make money. This is so disgusting after Biden did that very thing so much that that was his family’s business.
The media onslaught began the moment Karoline Leavitt opened the floor at the White House press briefing.
One reporter wasted no time, suggesting Trump’s upcoming trip to the Middle East was less about diplomacy and more about personal business.

Next, Leavitt stopped the lies about the UK deal.
Next came the spin on Trump’s trade deal with the UK.
Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich tried to downplay the deal’s legitimacy—suggesting it wasn’t real or ready.

A reporter tried to corner Leavitt over the administration’s plan to dismantle the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
She even tried to make it personal.

Finally, when the press tried to bring up the firing of the Librarian of Congress, Leavitt reminded the press, that Carla Hayden was placing inappropriate material in the children’s books in the library.
The last shot came over Trump’s firing of Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden.
“The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why did he choose to do that?”
Leavitt didn’t flinch.
