White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt laid the smackdown on NBC White House correspondent Peter Alexander after he attempted to frame the efforts of President Donald Trump’s administration to cut waste, fraud and abuse as troublesome to Republican voters.
“We’re now hearing from constituents in some traditionally red districts right now complaining about what they say is the chainsaw approach, and saying that it’s been done very sloppily, the cuts to jobs and spending. How do you respond to that criticism?” the reporter asked.
“I love how the media takes a few critics, when the overwhelming response from the American people is support for what this administration is doing,” Leavitt responded.
