During Tuesday afternoon’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took the liberal media to task from start to finish on everything from the anti-Semitic terror attack in Boulder, Colorado to fighting fentanyl to Gaza to the National Weather Service. And, in between those, she faced plenty of good faith questions…and others not so much.
Leavitt tore into The Washington Post in her lengthy opening remarks, specifically nuking from orbit the Bezos paper for its “despicable” and “ridiculous” piece declaring it to be a true mystery as to why fentanyl seizures at the U.S.-Mexico border have plummeted:
On the topic of immigration, The Washington Post just ran one of the most ridiculous headlines ever, even by their standards. And, on my very first briefing, several months ago, I said I would hold anyone accountable in this room. The Washington Post actually had this headline: The mysterious drop in fentanyl seizures on the U.S.-Mexico border.” How is this mysterious? There is no mystery about why there is a decrease in fentanyl coming into the United States. This administration's strong border policies are the reason there has been a decrease in fentanyl trafficking. His strengthened relationship with Mexican President Sheinbaum, and all of the measures he has been taking to deter illegal human and drug trafficking at our United States southern border is the reason for plummeting fentanyl seizures at the U.S. border. There is nothing mysterious about that, and we'd like to see The Washington Post update their headline accordingly. This is clearly trying to intentionally manipulate the minds of the Americans – and I think the American people understand why there has been a fentanyl drop. And our office responded to this increased, we provided a whole host of the reason for fentanyl seizures at the southern border have dropped and The Washington Post refused to run them and that’s despicable.
