White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has raged against CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins for pressing her on military troops being deployed in American cities.

As legal battles erupted on Monday over Donald Trump’s authority to send National Guard troops to Chicago and Oregon, Leavitt was forced to justify the president’s controversial plans.

................

“The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts,” wrote U.S. District Judge Karen Immerget, who Trump appointed in 2019.

Asked by Collins about the judgment and whether any Portland officials had wanted federal troops to be deployed in the first place, Leavitt lashed out.

“With all due respect to that judge, I think that her opinion is untethered to reality and the law,” she clapped back.

“I would encourage you as a reporter to go on the ground and take a look for yourself because there’s been many members of the press… some of whom we’ll be invited to the White House soon to hear their stories because they have been in the middle of these riots and they have witnessed the anarchy that is taking place night after night,” she said.
