White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday responded to a reporter, questioning the President’s use of the nickname “Piggy” to silence a reporter a few days ago.
Over the weekend, Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey interrupted President Trump and another reporter to ask about the Epstein files, and he gave a hilarious response.
“Quiet, quiet Piggy,” he said, pointing his finger at her in the now-viral clip.
WATCH:
This, of course, is nothing compared to when Biden publicly called Fox’s Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a b*tch” for asking about inflation.
During the press briefing on Thursday, Leavitt was asked about Trump’s “Piggy” remark by an angry leftist reporter.
Leavitt, however, shook it off and chalked up the President’s words to him being “frank” while allowing the press “unprecedented access.” When the reporter tried to fire back with another question, Leavitt ignored her and tossed to another reporter.
“I think everyone in this room should appreciate the frankness and the openness that you get from President Trump on a near-daily basis,” she added, contrasting the Trump Administration to the Joe Biden, who “lied to your face and then didn’t speak to you for weeks and hid upstairs and didn’t take your questions.”
WATCH:
What did the President mean when he called a reporter Piggy?
Look, the President is very frank and honest with everyone in this room. You’ve all seen it yourself. You’ve all experienced it yourselves, and I think it’s one of the many reasons that the American people re-elected this president: because of his frankness. And he calls out fake news when he sees it. He gets frustrated with reporters when you lie about him, when you spread fake news about him and his administration. But he also is the most transparent president in history, and he gives all of you in this room, as you all know, unprecedented access.
You are in the Oval Office almost every day asking the President questions, and so I think the President being frank and open and honest to your faces, rather than hiding behind your backs, is, frankly, a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration, where you had a president who lied to your face and then didn’t speak to you for weeks and hid upstairs and didn’t take your questions. So, I think everyone in this room should appreciate the frankness and the openness that you get from President Trump on a near-daily basis.
