“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.

Reading between the lines in the far left Guardian, Karoline Leavitt is really, really good at what she is doing.

Wow, nice article.

Accept the Left Wing version of the truth or your, wait for it, Hitler. Or in this case, North Korea.

Memorandum to the legacy media. X busts your ass everyday. Your lies are getting shot down before they leave your lips.

The Guardian is a global joke. A hive of shameless leftist propaganda and clueless children. No point in reading anything from there

I wonder if the Guardian noted that he has been more accessible to the press in his first nine days than FJB in his four years.
