White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared a screenshot of her combative text exchange with a reporter who snidely wondered if President Trump understood the historical ramifiactions of his upcoming meeting location with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It was glorious. The terse three-word respinse had been reported by the left-wing journalist. The rest of the exchange with Leavitt, coombined with today’s comments on social media, just obliterated him on multiple levels.
As reported here at RedState, Trump announced a meeting with Putin in Budapest, Hungary in the coming weeks as he continues to pursue a path to peace in Ukraine.
S.V. Date, a senior White House correspondent for the Huffington Post, apparently texted her wondering who had suggested the location, while providing a condescending history lesson of sorts to Leavitt.
He concluded with, “Who suggested Budapest?”
Leavitt’s response? Comedy gold.
“Your mom did,” she wrote back.
Congratulations to HuffPost for eliciting the most legendary response from the White House.

Date published the comment, along with a slightly condensed version of the same via White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, but left out how he had been a smarmy, weapons grade jackwagon in his initial message.
Fortunately, the press secretary kept receipts. And the follow-up text was equally as brutal.
“It’s funny to me that you actually consider yourself a journal [sic]. You are a far left hack who nobody takes seriously, including your colleagues in the media, they just don’t tell you that to your face,” she replied. “Stop texting me your disingenuous, biased, and bulls*** questions.”
Leavitt posted the exchange on X, and alleged that the Huffpo hack texts her incessantly with questions from a very biased point of view.
“For context, S.V. Dáte of the Huffington Post is not a journalist interested in the facts. He is a left-wing hack who has consistently attacked President Trump for years and constantly bombards my phone with Democrat talking points,” she fumed. “Just take a look at @svdate’s feed, it reads like an anti-Trump personal diary.”
“Activists who masquerade as real reporters do a disservice to the profession.”

To be fair, everybody on the Huffington Post roster is masquerading as something else – a “real reporter,” a competent journalist, resonable, etc.
Leavitt, meanwhile, has an already extensive history of dispatching with the opposition party – whether in the field of journalism or in the government – with relative ease. And it drives them apoplectic.
Just last week, she raised the ire of the resistance by describing the Democrat party as having a consitituency “made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals.”
