In her inaugural press briefing of President Donald Trump’s second term, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized a commitment to truth and issued a stern warning to reporters about disseminating misinformation.
Leavitt pledged to provide truthful information from the podium and called on the press corps to uphold the same standard. She highlighted past instances where legacy media outlets have propagated false narratives about President Trump and his family, stating that such actions would not be tolerated. “We will call you out when we feel that your reporting is wrong or there is misinformation about this White House,” Leavitt asserted.
The press secretary’s firm stance received widespread acclaim from conservative figures and supporters. OutKick’s Clay Travis praised Leavitt’s performance, while actor James Woods lauded her as a “rock star,” expressing enthusiasm for her approach to handling the media.
Leavitt’s remarks underscore the administration’s intent to hold the media accountable and ensure accurate reporting during President Trump’s second term.
