Karoline Leavitt can't keep straight face while delivering 'obviously true' claims

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt struggled to keep a straight face while insisting that information she delivered from the podium was "obviously true because I'm saying it."

During Wednesday's White House briefing, Michael Graham noted that Americans in New England were paying "the highest prices for natural gas to heat their home."

"The problem is the blue states will not allow the gas to travel to produce electricity or to reach customers," he observed. "When President Trump first came back in office, there was some talk of him and Gov. [Kathy] Hochul and New York possibly reaching a deal."

"Well, the President has promised all Americans across the country, and in particular, in the Northeast, where we do face much higher costs of electricity and of energy, unfortunately, because of the Democrat policies in the area," Leavitt replied. "From the federal government's perspective, the President and the National Energy Dominance Council Secretaries Wright and Burgum are doing all we can when it comes to federal permitting."

"The drill baby drill agenda is obviously underway. The president has made a huge push for more fossil fuels in this country. You look at what he did last week with respect to coal," she added. "Coal truly keeps the lights on in this country. We learn that in the recent winter storms. However, there's only so much that can be done at the federal level."

As Leavitt continued, she seemed to struggle to hold back laughter.

"And I just have a quick statistic here on energy that I found fascinating, and it's obviously true because I'm saying it up here," she smiled. "Red states with Republican legislatures currently enjoy lower average retail electricity prices than blue states with Democrat legislatures."

"And that's exactly why the president is calling on all blue state governors across New England and the northeast to get on board."
