White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday hilariously trolled Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich, who was trying to ask a question about President Trump’s comments on why the war between Russia and Ukraine started.
Heinrich opened her question, stating, “This President often says that this war would not have started if he were in office, and Putin confirmed that,” and Leavitt interrupted with a question.
“It’s true. Do you accept that as truth?” she asked Heinrich, who responded in the affirmative.
Putin even agreed that the war would have never started if Trump were President at the time Russia invaded! “In 2022, during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague that the situation should not be brought to the point of no return when it would come to hostilities,” Putin said during a press conference with Trump on Friday.
Previously, Heinrich reported on Fox that Trump’s Anchorage, Alaska, meeting with Putin on Friday was “very unusual, atypical,” and said the feeling in the room was “not good” as reporters awaited the end of the meeting and a readout with more information.
“It did not seem like things went well, and it seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled and got in what he wanted to say,” Heinrich reported, despite Trump and Putin announcing in a press conference that they had finally reached an agreement to possibly end the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Karoline Leavitt opened the press briefing on a warpath, delivering a scathing rebuke of the Fake News Media for their dishonest coverage of the Russia-Ukraine talks. As The Gateway Pundit reported, she later obliterated the New York Times for asking a stupid question that was meant to smear the President’s success with European leaders and Russia.
Heinrich ultimately asked Leavitt how the President plans to ensure the agreed-upon security guarantees for Ukraine and peace in the region last after Trump leaves office.
WATCH:
Heinrich: This President often says that this war would not have started if he were in office, and Putin confirmed that–
Leavitt: True. It’s true. Do you accept that as truth?
Heinrich: Probably.
Leavitt: The European leaders do. And President Putin himself said that, himself, by the way.
Heinrich: He did say that. The question I have, though, is what is the President going to do to ensure that these security guarantees last beyond him, into the time when he is no longer president, and does that have to involve Congress at all?
Leavitt: Well, he understands the need for that, which he spoke to yesterday. And what’s he going to do, it’s why he’s engaging in so many talks and so many conversations with both sides of this war, with our European allies. It’s why on the way home from Anchorage Alaska, very late at night, when I know many of you on the press plane were sleeping, and many staff were sleeping, the President himself was still awake at two o’clock in the morning, talking to European leaders and NATO about how we can ensure a lasting peace and bring this conflict to an end. He has expended incredible amount of time, energy and effort into bringing this war to an end, and he remains determined to do that.
