'She should be ashamed!' Karoline Leavitt launches diatribe at CNN reporter

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt launched an over-the-top diatribe aimed at CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand.

The rant came after a reporter asked a question about how effective the strike was on Iranian nuclear facilities.

“I can assure you of what the CIA director said that when we look at the entirety of the intelligence that we have to this date, it concludes that these strikes on the Iranian nuclear facilities were absolutely successful. It was a total obliteration, as the president said,” Leavitt said.

She then dug into Bertrand, calling the reporter out by name, and reiterated the FBI is investigating to find out who leaked the report.

"Because it's illegal, and they should be accountable for that; leaked bits and pieces of an intel assessment to push a false narrative, and it's to the same reporter, I will add, Natasha Bertrand of CNN, who has done this in the past," she raged.

Leavitt then railed about Bertrand’s history of reporting.

“In 2020, it was Natasha Bertrand who had 51 intelligence analysts falsely lie to her, but she put it on paper for some reason, that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation. We all know that's not true, right?"

Leavitt continued her angry tirade at Bertrand.

“Also in 2020, the same reporter Natasha Bertrand wrote that the top intel agency ruled out man-made lastly theory of the coronavirus theory, and against the president was right about that, and this reporter wrote the light in the intelligence community to prove what she wanted to prove, and now we know the truth.”

Leavitt pointed to an error in Bertrand’s reporting last year before saying, “She should be ashamed of herself.” The press secretary continued ranting, “Journalism is trying to find the facts and the truth. This week, we saw the same reporter being used to push a fake narrative, undermining the President of the United States and the fighter pilots who conducted one of the most successful operations in the United States' history.

The nearly 3-minute-long rant ended with Leavitt taking another question.
