Trump Press Sec. Karoline Leavitt: ‘It’s Just Really Shocking Just How Triggering the Truth Is to CNN’

EXCERPT:

LEAVITT: “I still can't believe this happened, Benny. It is really shocking just how triggering the truth is to CNN. And that's all I was doing, was pointing out the fact that President Trump is bold to go on a 3-on-1 fight on a network that is clearly hostile to him. Let's stop pretending like CNN is still the most trusted name in news. They are not. And I pointed out statements that Jake Tapper himself has made in the past. He's allowed to say them on air, but apparently I'm not allowed to repeat them, even though it's perfectly relevant, because he's the moderator in Thursday's night debate -- Thursday night's debate. It is shocking that they not only cut off my microphone, but then dumped me from the entire program. And as you could see at the end of that clip, I was ready to -- to pivot and to talk about the issues and talk about our strategy heading in to Thursday night, but she couldn't take it, and they -- they can't handle the truth. That's what -- that's what it comes down to.”
