White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called on ABC News “Fake News 101” as she reacted to the outlet’s report on Iran’s drone attack on California.
ABC News had reported that the FBI warned police departments in California that Iran wants to retaliate over the US military operation in the country.
“This post and story should be immediately retracted by ABC News for providing false information to intentionally alarm the American people,” Leavitt wrote on the social platform X.
She wrote: The post and story should be immediately retracted by ABC News for providing false information to intentionally alarm the American people.
They wrote this based on one email that was sent to local law enforcement in California about a single, unverified tip. The email even states the top was based on “unverified intelligence. Yet ABC News left out this critical fact in their story, WHY?
TO BE CLEAR: No such threat from to our homeland exists, and it never did.
Meanwhile she was mocked by some media outlets for misspelling Cincinnati in a post on X about Trump’s visit to a biotechnology company in Reading.
Moreover, days after US President Donald Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, rumors were circulated that Karoline Leavitt was also leaving the White House.
However, there’s no indication that Caroline Leavitt is thinking of voluntarily resigning from her position as press secretary or that President Donald Trump has plans to fire her.
