<p>White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed a reporter with the Associated Press who challenged her on tariffs during a press briefing last week.</p>
<p>Leavitt&#8217;s remarks on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; come after the AP&#8217;s Josh Boak aggressively questioned her on Tuesday, which led her to say that she was &#8220;insulted&#8221; by the line of questioning before she called on someone else.</p>
<p>&#8220;First of all, with that individual reporter from the Associated Press who tried to test me on tariffs, he clearly fails to see President Trump&#8217;s long term economic strategy, which is to bring in so much revenue, so much wealth into our country through tariffs that we can give larger tax cuts to the American people to put more money back into their pockets,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>She added that he &#8220;clearly didn&#8217;t understand that very simple idea.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But as for the greater mainstream media&#8217;s coverage, I think that example proves that they continue to double down on their failing ways,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They focus on sensationalism, on trying to get a viral moment, rather than asking tough questions with honest integrity and journalistic curiosity, wanting to know the answers. They want to make a name for themselves.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And that&#8217;s why the trust in the mainstream media has fallen to record lows, and that&#8217;s why at the White House, we are very proud of the changes that we have made to the briefing room and also to the press coverage of this President, welcoming in independent voices and new media who truly care about the truth, honesty, and accuracy,&#8221; she added.</p>
