White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has raged against CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins for pressing her on military troops being deployed in American cities.

As legal battles erupted on Monday over Donald Trump’s authority to send National Guard troops to Chicago and Oregon, Leavitt was forced to justify the president’s controversial plans.

................

“The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts,” wrote U.S. District Judge Karen Immerget, who Trump appointed in 2019.

Asked by Collins about the judgment and whether any Portland officials had wanted federal troops to be deployed in the first place, Leavitt lashed out.

“With all due respect to that judge, I think that her opinion is untethered to reality and the law,” she clapped back.

“I would encourage you as a reporter to go on the ground and take a look for yourself because there’s been many members of the press… some of whom we’ll be invited to the White House soon to hear their stories because they have been in the middle of these riots and they have witnessed the anarchy that is taking place night after night,” she said.

Some day, I hope Leavitt meats up with Lady Justice!

1. Leavitt is a professional liar in the service of the biggest liar American politics has ever seen

Apparently, she thinks that diamond-encrusted cross is a license to lie.

10. It is. In her world she is saved by her belief so whatever lies she tells are in service to the lord

as they go for their theocracy.

11. Yes, and in her world, everyone is a sinner, but ...

... Christians (and only people she accepts as Christians) can pray for forgiveness. Everyone else is going to hell, anyway, so lying about them is just a minor sin.

2. Is her job to communicate what she thinks?

[Klarkashton]

3. Why listen to some shill right wing bloggers - because

That's who they will invite. Why not get off their asses and go there themselves and be on video being taken wherever that want to go and see.

Trump and those assholes have all the time in the world to go to military bases and Florida but no time for this place that is "burning down and in ruins"

Why doesn't Collins ask this question?

4. I truly despise this nasty, hateful, snotty little (expletive deleted)

I would take great pleasure in smacking the smirk off her artificial face, followed by a swirly.

6. I wish Leavitt would meet up with the truth.

But would she recognize it? Sadly, no.

My theory is the faster she talks the more she’s lying. There’s the lack of blinking, too. She has several tells. Oh, and nice cross. If a trump rep is wearing one they probably can’t be trusted.

7. They're going to platform RW provocateurs at the WH, then

8. There's a lady on Bluesky who does an imitation of Levitt and she always rages against Kaitlyn Collins

And pronounces her name in a specific way.

Lisandra Vazquez ( I don’t know to link Bluesky here but she’s easy to find) and her Caroline Levitt videos are hilarious !
