CNN Host Skewers Karoline Leavitt After Wild Public Confrontation

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins skewered White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on her primetime show after the two clashed during a press conference earlier in the day. Their argument revolved around self-proclaimed “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth’s complaints about media coverage of U.S. service members killed in Iran. The Pentagon chief moaned about the coverage during his own bizarre press conference on Wednesday, claiming it was designed to “make the president look bad.” Collins challenged Leavitt on that complaint, and a thinly veiled meltdown ensued. President Donald Trump’s mouthpiece echoed his rhetoric as she jabbed at CNN’s ratings and bristled at Collins in front of her colleagues.
