President Donald Trump and White Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt sat down with Reagan Reese of The Daily Caller for an exclusive joint interview. Of course, the conversation eventually turned to the bane of both of their existences: ‘journalists.’
The two had some choice words for Margaret Brennan of CBS News. (READ)

It’s a good interview.
But this section below is what many are focused on. Here’s the full exchange on Brennan. Posters agree with Trump’s and Leavitt’s assessments.
TRUMP: Margaret Brennan. What do you think of her?
LEAVITT: She’s stupid. You can put that on the record.
TRUMP: She’s nasty.
LEAVITT: Yes.
TRUMP: I watched it with Marco. He handled her –
REESE: He goes on there a lot. And every time he does a really, he’s intense about it.
TRUMP: Because he’s good and he’s smart.
Trump and Karoline didn’t just answer, they carved it in stone.

“Stupid.” “Nasty.” Case closed. 😂

Trump said she’s nasty.
CBS fact-checkers currently debating which is more sexist.
Thats what most of America thinks also.

Brennan consistently shows she’s in over her head with whoever the Trump administration sends her way.
One of Vice President JD Vance’s responses to her biased nitpicking resulted in a viral meme.
Nobody's taken Margaret Brennan seriously since JD Vance told her he didn't really care 😂 pic.twitter.com/ktu98azZDT

They don’t hold back. Brennan’s bias and attacks are exposed bluntly. Speaking truth to the media elite shows strength and refuses to let smear tactics go unchallenged.

But her outfits, hair, makeup, plus posture, hand gestures, questions all well rehearsed in a mirror are just perfect.

Brennan looks the part of a journalist, but is far from one. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vance particularly have fun at her expense, swatting down her fake narratives with ease whenever they appear on Face the Nation.
