BREAKING: Karoline Leavitt melts down whining that the White House is being "harassed" after a reporter confronts her about Trump's absurd lie that Iran destroyed its own school with an American Tomahawk missile.
This is beyond pathetic...
"On the Iranian school, why did President Trump say yesterday that Iran may have Tomahawk missiles when there are only three other U.S. allies, plus the U.S., that have those missiles and therefore could—" a reporter asked.
Only the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Netherlands currently use the Tomahawk missile.
"Look, again, the president said yesterday he will accept the conclusion of this investigation by the Department of War," said Leavitt. "I know there's been a lot of speculation in the media about who may be responsible for this. We're not going to get ahead of the Department of War in the conclusion of that investigation."
"The president has a right to share his opinions with the American public, but he has said he'll accept the conclusion of that investigation," she continued. "And, frankly, we're not going to be harassed by the New York Times, who's been putting out a lot of articles on this, making claims that have just not been verified by the Department of War, to quickly wrap up this investigation because the New York Times is calling on us to do so."
The suggestion that it's harassment for our news media to hold this administration accountable when the president is spreading blatant lies about the illegal war he started is ludicrous. The American people deserve the truth.
Yesterday, Trump was asked about his bombing of a school in Minab, Iran that killed at least 165 people. Footage of the attack shows that it was a Tomahawk missile but rather than own up to the atrocity, he suggested that Iran itself was responsible. Iran does not possess Tomahawk missiles.
We all know the truth now. Leavitt and Trump can squirm, but in the end they'll be forced to face the consequences of their actions.
Please ❤️ and share to demand that the Trump administration be prosecuted for war crimes!
