‘You’re a left-wing hack’: White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt loses cool when reporter asks about fatal ICE shooting that killed Renee Good in Minneapolis

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt lost her cool when a reporter shot her with the question over the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis.

During a Thursday's press briefing, Leavitt ripped the reporter who called ICE agent actions "reckless" and "unjustified" and called him a "biased, left-wing reporter."

The reporter also claimed that 32 people died in ICE custody last year and criticised department of homeland security secretary (DHS) Kristi Noem for saying the agency is "doing everything correctly." Leavitt asked him why he believed Good was killed.



"Reporter: "Are you asking me my opinion?"

"Leavitt: "Yeah."

"Reporter:"Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably."


Leavitt then criticised him, and said, "You're a left-wing hack. You're not a reporter. You're posing in this room as a journalist, and it's so clear by the premise of your question. And you and the people of the media who have such biases but fake like you're a journalist, you shouldn't even be sitting in that seat."

"But you're pretending like you're a journalist, but you're a left-wing activist and the question that you just raised -- and your answer -- proves your bias."

Leavitt told him he should be reporting on the facts and be more focused on how many American citizens were killed by illegal migrants.

"I bet you don't," she said. "I bet you didn't even read up on those stories. I bet you never even read about Laken Riley or Jocelyn Nungaray or all of the innocent Americans who were killed at the hands of illegal aliens in this country, and the brave men and woman of ICE are doing everything in their power to remove those heinous individuals and make our communities safer. And shame on people like you in the media who have a crooked view and have a biased view and pretend like you're a real, honest journalist."
