The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, turned the tables on a leftist journalist in the White House briefing on Thursday.
He had asked a question about the Minneapolis shooting death of Renee Good, the woman who interfered with an operation of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and when she allegedly drove her vehicle at an agent in a weaponized manner, was shot and killed.
He got scolded:
Press Sec nukes Fake News Reporter: “You are a left-wing hack. You are not a reporter. You are posing as a journalist. You shouldn’t even be sitting in that seat.” pic.twitter.com/VqEOvLTD9N

Leavitt asked the reporter, “Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?”
He said the ICE agent “acted recklessly.”
She responded, “OK. So you’re a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion. … You’re a left-wing hack, you’re not a reporter. You’re posing in this room as a journalist. … You shouldn’t even be sitting in that seat.”
