Far-Right Host Gets Called On Early in WH Briefing, Asks Fawning Question: ‘You Look Great!’

 

Brian Glenn, a host with far-right outlet Real America’s Voice, got one of the first questions at the first press briefing held by President Donald Trump’s White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and used the opportunity to offer flattery and a fawning question.

“Yes, welcome,” Glenn greeted Leavitt when she called on him Tuesday afternoon. “You look great — you’re doing a great job!”

“Thank you,” Leavitt responded with a nod and smile.

“You talked about transparency, and some of us in this room know how just transparent President Trump has been the last five or six years,” Glenn continued. “I think you’ll do the same. But my question is, do you think this latest incident with the President of Colombia is indicative of the global, uh, powerful respect they have for President Trump moving forward not only to engage in, in economic diplomacy with these countries, but also world peace?”

“Absolutely,” replied Leavitt. “I’ll echo the answer that the president gave on Air Force One last night when he was asked a very similar question by one of your colleagues in the media. This signifies ‘peace through strength’ is back, and this president will not tolerate illegal immigration into America’s interior. And he expects every nation on this planet again to cooperate with the repatriation of their citizens who illegally entered into our country and broke America’s laws — won’t be tolerated. And as you saw, the Colombian government quickly folded and agreed to all of President Trump’s demands. Flights are underway once again.”

Glenn, who has been in a relationship with staunch Trump supporter Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) since 2023, was previously with another pro-Trump network, Right Side Broadcasting Network. He announced last May he was leaving and popped up a few weeks later at RAV.
