Reporter Asks Karoline Leavitt If Pete Hegseth Firing Pentagon Leakers Is Poor Management (BAD Idea)

Posted • April 23, 2025: In a recent Fox News interview, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth explained the reason for recent firings at the Pentagon.

During a White House briefing a reporter asked a question that sounded like it was written by the DNC, and maybe it was.

This is why legacy media’s dying 🤷🏼‍♀️ they can’t even grasp basic logic. —— And that's how it's done! Karoline Leavitt is literally the best member of Trump’s team, bar none. She is a superstar, who represents the essence of conservative, patriotic values in our nation. Possible translation of the reason the NBC reporter framed the question that way: NBC are upset they lost their leakers… 🤔 That's sure what it sounds like. (…)
