“Clear a path!” shouted the big shots of TV news as they tried to squeeze their way through reporters packed like sardines into the White House briefing room to get to their front-row seats. Tempers frayed, foreheads perspired and necks strained similar to those of passengers itching to get off a plane.
The first press briefing of a new administration is always a standing-room-only event. This time, it was the second Donald Trump administration and the debut of Karoline Leavitt, who pointed out that she is the youngest person to serve as White House press secretary. The 27-year-old beats the record of Ronald Ziegler, who was 29 when he was Richard Nixon’s spokesperson.

No bias in this article. /s
Direct answers. No 3-ring binder. No "circling back". No flashing eye lids.
Already looks like a seasoned pro at age 27!
What does ANY of this have to do with North Korea?!
Tulsi is similarly well spoken. First thing you notice.
The Grauniad strikes again!
Only 27! Very impressive!
North Korea = badass
KamaLOL!'s entrails were hanging out on the debate stage while Tulsi was re-sheathing her katana.
OLD NEWS! Keep up or get out of the way.
Simple, they are Presstitutes.
Did she do another briefing today? Been looking for it.
I’m with you. The only thing I associate with North Korea is using an artillery piece for a firing squad.
It’s like Trump’s stock “popping” in a headline, today. What language are these lunatics speaking?
And with a nice, big cross around her neck!
Desperate fake news psyop.
I liked her words that illegal aliens are CRIMINALS! She sunk all of the msm with those words!
One of THE best WH Presser’s ever!
All the boxes checked on this one being psy-ops propaganda hit piece. AKA, “Misinformation”, which is cleverly using human psychology along with intelligence experts trained in mass manipulation, wordsmithing.
Don’t knock the binder. McEnany kicked ass with her binder.
