Karoline Leavitt Fox News Interview on White -Briefing Clash

Press spokeswoman for the White House Karoline Leavitt – In Fox News' Futures on Sunday morning she appeared via her viral confrontation with an AP reporter, whose question she found insulting.

In the heated collision on Tuesday, the AP des AP is Josh Boak Grilled Leavitt about President Donald Trumps Customs.

“I'm sorry, have you ever paid a tariff?” Said Boak. “Because I have. They are not burdened for foreign companies. They are burdened with the importers. “

“Ultimately, if we have a fair and balanced trade – which the American people have not seen for decades – as I said at the beginning,” replied Leavitt, “the income will stay here, wages will rise and our country will be rich again. And I think it is offensive that they are trying to test my knowledge of economics and the decisions that this president has made. Associated Press has given a question.

As part of the exchange, Leavitt also made the strange statement that “tariffs are a tax reduction for the American people” – a remark that has been joined by economists.

Leavitt stepped over his back and forth in Fox 'Futures on Sunday morning with Boak.

“With this individual reporter of the Associated Press, who tried to test me on tariffs, he clearly fails to see the long -term economic strategy of President Trump, which is supposed to achieve so much income, so much prosperity in our country through duties that we can give the American people larger tax cuts in order to bring more money back into their pockets,” said Leavitt. “He clearly did not understand this very simple idea.”

The president's spokesman used the rise of the briefing room as a feed to attack the press corps as a whole.

“I think this example proves that you continue to double your failed ways,” said Leavitt. “They focus on sensationalism, but on an attempt to get a viral moment instead of asking difficult questions with honest integrity and journalistic curiosity and knowing the answers. You want to make a name. And that's why confidence in the mainstream media has fallen into low. “
