If you've seen the footage, it's like this is a U.S congresswoman and nobody cares. Oh well, actually a couple of people did care, and they went after her. They accused her of voting for nuclear war.

Watch: Karoline Leavitt Discusses The Admin’s Decision To Pick The Press Allowed To Ask Trump Questions

  Karoline Leavitt Karoline Leavitt Discusses The Admin’s Decision To Pick The Press Allowed To Ask Trump Questions Washington, D.C. – During Tuesday's White House Press Briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed questions regarding the Trump Administration's new policy on selecting reporters who will be granted the opportunity to cover President Donald Trump in high-profile settings. The policy follows a recent court ruling by Judge McFadden, who dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Associated Press (AP) against the White House. The lawsuit had challenged the administration's decision to remove AP from certain press events, a move critics claim restricts access to key governmental proceedings. During the briefing, a reporter questioned Leavitt on whether the administration would consider dissolving the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA), given the ruling's acknowledgment that the organization has no formal authority over press access.

Leavitt did not hold back in her response. “I think that's quite sad,” she said. “But I think Governor Walz, unfortunately, is living a sad existence after his devastating defeat on Novemb...

  Ron DeSantis BREAKING NEWS: Governor DeSantis Expands Crackdown on Illegal Immigration with New Directives Tallahassee, Fla. — In a significant move to bolster immigration enforcement, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has directed state law enforcement agencies to enter into additional agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
