Complicating matters, a few hours after Leavitt tried to defend the racist video, the White House changed its story, saying in a statement, “A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down.”

Soooo...no reporter followed up with "So an anonymous WH staffer was making racist posts on Temu Twitter AT 1 AM, in the president's name? An account that has been used in the past to actually convey the position and policy of this nation to the rest of the world?"
