‘She Is on Offense!’ Mark Halperin Showers Trump Spox Karoline Leavitt With Praise for ‘Incredible’ Instincts

2WAY’s Mark Halperin showered White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt with praise on Tuesday for her “incredible” instincts.

After professing to be “surprised” by how many Democrats are willing to admit Leavitt is “doing a good job,”  asking Dan Turrentine to evaluate what she does well.

“She’s cool, calm, and sharp. I mean, she just, she presents well, she speaks well, she’s on message. She can deliver a zinger in a crisp way. She doesn’t kind of, you know, bloviate and go on and on. She’s just cool, calm, and crisp. I’m super impressed,” answered Turrentine.

Sean Spicer then touted Leavitt’s “strong relationship” with President Donald Trump, submitting that “She knows her red lines. She does a really good job of staying between the guardrails. This is what the president said, this is what he believes, or I’ll get back to you. She colors within the lines really well. And she has a strong relationship with the president, and she knows what to say and what not to.”

Halperin followed up by weighing in with his own take.

“She’s up on the news. I’ve dealt with press secretaries who really aren’t up on the news because they’re going to meetings, whatever, and they just don’t keep themselves informed. Karoline is just a voracious consumer of information,” said Halperin before reading a critical paragraph from Heather Cox Richardson about Trump press conference announcing his crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C..

“All I’ll say is, Karoline Leavitt reads stuff like that and sees a buffet, a smorgasbord of possibilities to put the Left on defense. And she’s just got an incredible instinct for doing that, which is, again, different than going to the podium as some secretaries have done, trying not to make mistakes, trying to just get through the briefing without creating any news, or creating any problems. She is on offense and the Left is giving her every day material to work with,” he argued.
