Trump Spox Karoline Leavitt Takes Shot at CNN Over Bias in Fox News Hit
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at CNN over her perception of their bias as she complained to Fox News host Sean Hannity about its coverage of President Donald Trump’s battle with Harvard University.
Trump continued to escalate his feud with Harvard this week by threatening to cancel all of the university’s grants and divert them to other institutions.
On Tuesday night’s edition of Fox News Channel’s Hannity, Leavitt trashed CNN over their coverage of the issue, deriding the network’s talent as “left-wing reporters”:
SEAN HANNITY: So Harvard, for example, is a $53 billion endowment. We’ll go through some of the finances later in the show tonight.
$53 billion is a lot of money. And they also have institutionalized discrimination and anti-Semitism. And they’ve not taken a stand against it. Yet they take a stand against everything else and embrace DEI.
My question is, why would they get one American taxpayer dollar knowing that this is the case and also the case at a lot of other Ivy League institutions.
KAROLINE LEAVITT: Well, that’s a very good question, Sean, rooted in common sense.
And I watched the left-wing cable media, CNN, on my television in the White House all day today. And they were up in arms over the president’s common sense policy when it comes to federal funding for Harvard.
And not a single one of those left- wing reporters can answer the question of why an institution that is pushing anti-American values with a $53 billion endowment should receive a single penny of taxpayer funds.
And the president is more interested in giving that taxpayer money to trade schools and programs in state schools where they are promoting American values, but most importantly educating the next generation based on skills that we need in our economy and our society, apprenticeships, electricians, plumbers.
We need more of in our country and less LGBTQ graduate majors from Harvard University. And that’s what this administration’s position is.
And we also are not going to tolerate the illegal criminal anti-Semitic behavior that we saw take place at Harvard and many other college campuses across the country.
