Karoline Leavitt gets fiery and doubles down after press questions ‘white genocide’

  • During a May 22 briefing, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt engaged in a tense exchange with NBC reporter Yamiche Alcindor regarding a video shown by President Trump in the Oval Office.
  • During a meeting held in the Oval Office, Trump showed a video to President Cyril Ramaphosa which he claimed represented a burial ground for more than 1,000 white farmers who were killed, a characterization that has been challenged by officials.
  • The video showed crosses representing white farmers killed in South Africa, but Alcindor and officials said the murders are not racially motivated genocide and questioned the burial site claim.
  • Leavitt rejected Alcindor's premise by calling it "a ridiculous line of questioning" and insisted the video reflected true facts despite the lack of evidence for genocide or burial sites.
  • The exchange highlighted ongoing disputes over Trump's narrative of violence against white South African farmers and underscored tensions in addressing unsubstantiated claims in the White House briefing.
