In a no-holds-barred moment during today’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a blistering takedown of The Hill’s Niall Stanage, exposing what the Trump administration sees as rampant left-wing bias in the mainstream media.
The exchange erupted amid questions about ongoing ICE enforcement actions in Minneapolis, following the tragic shooting of local resident Renee Good by an ICE agent, which has sparked anti-ICE protests fueled by radical agitators.
Stanage, a longtime D.C. fixture known for his anti-Trump commentary, pressed Leavitt on ICE’s record, citing cherry-picked stats to paint the agency as reckless.
“You’re a biased reporter with left-wing opinions… Yeah, because you’re a left-wing hack. You are not a reporter. You’re posing in this room as a journalist,” Leavitt said. “And it’s clear by the premise of your question.”
“And you and people in the media who have such biases but fake like you’re journalists — you shouldn’t even be sitting in that seat… Pretending that you’re a journalist. That proves your bias. You should be reporting on the facts.” Leavit continued.
Leavitt then flipped the script, challenging Stanage on the real victims ignored by the press.
“Do you have a number of how many American citizens were killed at the hands of illegal aliens who ICE is trying to remove from this country? I bet you don’t. I bet you didn’t even read up on those stories… Or Jocelyn Nungaray? All innocent Americans who were killed in this country. And brave men and women [of ICE] are doing everything they can to remove these heinous individuals and make our communities safer. And shame on people like you in the media who have a crooked view, a biased view.”
Watch the exchange above.
