Let this back-and-forth between Karoline Leavitt and Yamiche Alcindor of NBC News be your daily reminder that you do not hate the press as much as you should.
For context, the argument stems from this:
Here goes:
Alcindor:
The president showed a video that he said showed more than 1,000 burial sites of white South Africans that he said were murdered. We know that that was not true and that the video wasn't true, and so I wonder, why did the president choose to show that?
Leavitt:
The video showed images of crosses in South Africa about white farmers who have been killed and politically persecuted because of the color of their skin, and those crosses are representing their lives and the fact that they are now dead and their government did nothing about it.
The Trump team even posted the photo with the AP caption:
A view of crosses planted at the White Cross Monument, each one marking a white farmer who has been killed in a farm murder, is seen on a hillside in Ysterberg near Polokwane, South Africa. May 15, 2025.
And we can add another fake news journalist to the list of those who are now owned by the Trump administration.
