Karoline Leavitt Torpedoes WaPo Over Sketch Report Tying Trump To Random Act Of Racism

Incoming White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt torpedoed The Washington Post over a media request the outlet sent to her, sharing screenshots of blatant attempts to tie President-elect Donald Trump to an act of racism.

Leavitt posted a photo of the email from The Washington Post on her X account, tearing into the outlet for attempting to use such a situation to foment racial division and then blame Trump for it, despite even admitting that Trump was not remotely connected to the event in question.

“I just received one of the most absurd emails EVER from the Washington Post,” Leavitt began. “This ‘reporter’ is doing gymnastics to try and sow division and blame President Trump for something that he admits in his email has no trace to him whatsoever.”

“This is exactly why NOBODY trusts the Fake News Media,” Leavitt continued, adding, “Jeff Bezos warned his staff before the election, and they’re still not listening to him!”

The email, sent by a reporter named Emmanuel Felton, was about a racially charged incident that took place in Lawnside, New Jersey, within days of the 2024 presidential election. A local resident had reported seeing spray-painted slurs using the “n-word,” and Felton wanted Trump’s team to respond to the following section of the report:

What happened in Lawnside was part of a wave of racial incidents that occurred in the days following Trump’s reelection. Around the time that Hines’ fence was sprayed, black people across the country were receiving text messages that said they’d been “selected to pick cotton at the nearest plantation.” And at the same time that Lawnside residents came together to discuss the graffiti on Hines’ fence, a group of self-identified Neo-Nazis marched and shouted the same slur in Columbus, Ohio.

In the very next sentence, Felton gave away the game, however (emphasis added): “While none of these events can be traced directly back to Trump, experts say that his rhetoric has been tied to an increase in hate crimes across the nation.”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
