Karoline Leavitt and Stephen Cheung say 'Your mom' when asked who suggested Hungary for Putin-Trump meeting

Source: msn/The Independent

12h


Top White House officials told a reporter, “Your mom,” when asked who picked the location for President Donald Trump’s upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump announced Thursday that he will soon meet with Putin in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine. The choice has raised questions, because Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court. However, Hungary appears unlikely to cooperate with the warrant and is in the process of leaving the court, the Associated Press reports.

When HuffPost asked the White House who chose the location for the meeting, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt replied, “Your mom did.” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also followed up with, “Your mom,” the outlet reports.

HuffPost then asked Leavitt if she thought her response was funny. She responded: “It’s funny to me that you actually consider yourself a journal [sic]. You are a far left hack who nobody takes seriously, including your colleagues in the media, they just don’t tell you that to your face. Stop texting me your disingenuous, biased, and bulls*** questions.” When The Independent asked the White House if “your mom” was an appropriate answer, spokesperson Taylor Rogers responded that it was “more than appropriate.”

They are high level bullies who thrive on demeaning others. Any normal parent, or any normal person for that matter, would be ashamed of these humans. That was an absurdly cruel thing to say about the reporter and to think it could be so callously said by a spokesperson is unbelievable.

A press secretary is supposed to maintain some level of dignity and authority to spin the White House narrative. Leavitt has completely failed at her job and has become nothing more than a figure of ridicule. Just another clown.

I'm thinking of Sean Connery's character in the "Jeopardy" gameshow skits always insulting Alex Trebek by trashing his mother instead of giving a question to the answer.
