'She Said It': Karoline Leavitt Just Totally Undermined Trump's 'I Didn't Do It' Claim
HuffPost
The White House press secretary's latest comment appears to conflict with what the president said about a racist video he shared.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s bold claim regarding President Donald Trump’s social media posts is raising new questions about a racist video featured on his account earlier this month.
On Wednesday, Leavitt was asked about a post on Trump’s Truth Social account that criticized Britain’s plan to turn over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius while also securing a 99-year lease to keep a joint U.K.–U.S. military base on Diego Garcia.
“The post should be taken as the policy of the Trump administration,” she said. “It’s coming straight from the horse’s mouth. When you see it on Truth Social, you know it’s directly from President Trump.”
Leavitt called that the “beauty” of Trump’s presidency and a sign of his “transparency.”
Just one problem: Her statement conflicts with Trump’s claim about a racist video featured on his Truth Social account earlier this month that depicted former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as a chimpanzee and a gorilla. The video was denounced by Democrats and Republicans alike, and Trump later deleted it. But he also never apologized, claiming it wasn’t his fault.
