NextImg:Alina Habba Forgets One Critical Fact In 'DEI' Smear Of Karine Jean-Pierre
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Trump White House counselor Alina Habba on Wednesday tried to defend press secretary Karoline Leavitt but got personal ― and racist ― in an unprovoked attack on Joe Biden’s press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. (Watch the video below.)

Fox News host Laura Ingraham showed Habba a clip of Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar criticizing Leavitt’s press briefing about the federal funding freeze on “The View.”

“Karoline Leavitt is overqualified, brilliant and was well-versed and ready,” Habba said. “She answered every question. She didn’t need a thick binder, Whoopi, sorry, unlike our last press secretary who was put in their for ... DEI reasons.”

Besides launching a false, racially charged insult at Jean-Pierre ― a Columbia grad who logged extensive experience in the Biden and Barack Obama administrations and their campaigns ― Habba forgot an important detail: Trump’s last White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, also used a thick binder. So that burn fizzled in a hurry.

Kayleigh’s encyclopedic binder…must have been DEI reasons.

Leavitt has faced tough early reviews. She was accused of being evasive about the targets of Trump’s attempted freeze on federal grants and loans, and claimed to have answered a question about it when she hadn’t.

The Trump administration rescinded a memo Wednesday from the Office of Management and Budget to pause federal assistance on many fronts but Leavitt insisted an executive order on a funding freeze remained in effect.
