CNN is basically a propaganda machine for the DNC. They don’t really shy away from it either.
But the White House Press Secretary put a CNN reporter in an absolute blender.
America is watching in horror as Portland descends into a nightly inferno of radical violence. Antifa militants, cloaked in black and fueled by leftist rage, clash with brave ICE officers trying to enforce the nation’s laws. Meanwhile, local cops, handcuffed by Democrat overlords, watch from the sidelines as independent reporters dodge bricks and Molotov cocktails just to tell the real story.
This isn’t some distant foreign war—it’s happening in the streets of a major American city. President Trump sees the anarchy for what it is: a direct assault on law and order. His straightforward call to deploy the National Guard isn’t escalation—it’s the bare minimum to protect everyday folks from these self-proclaimed revolutionaries.
Enter the White House briefing room, where truth-tellers square off against the echo chamber of cable news. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, perched in her safe studio, lobbed a softball challenge at Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, parroting the party script from Portland’s embattled police chief. Collins claimed the chief’s words proved Trump’s assessment of the chaos didn’t match “what’s happening on the ground,” and she pressed Leavitt on whether anyone truly backed the Guard’s arrival.
“I spoke to the police chief of Portland last week. He said that the president’s claims just don’t match up with what’s happening on the ground,” Collins had insisted, but Leavitt cut through the fog like a knife.
What followed was a masterclass in calling out media malpractice. Leavitt turned the tables, urging Collins to hit the pavement herself. “I would encourage you, as a reporter, to go on the ground and to take a look for yourself,” she declared.
Leavitt didn’t stop at armchair advice—she highlighted the raw, unfiltered accounts pouring in from those actually in the thick of it. Independent journalists, the unsung heroes dodging tear gas and flying debris, have captured footage that shames the sanitized clips CNN prefers to air. These aren’t scripted soundbites; they’re visceral proof of streets turned into war zones.
Leavitt’s invitation to the White House for these brave souls speaks volumes about an administration that values eyewitness truth over elite spin. “Because they have been in the middle of these riots, and they have witnessed the anarchy that is taking place night after night. It’s on video!” she emphasized, painting a picture of relentless nightly assaults that no amount of denial can erase.
“You’re probably talking to partisan Democrat officials who are opposed to everything this president does,” Leavitt said.
This isn’t just about one exchange—it’s a symptom of a media machine that’s long ago picked its team. While Portland burns, anchors like Collins amplify voices that downplay the danger, shielding the radicals who shatter windows and hurl firebombs.
Leavitt went further, imploring Collins to talk to the real victims—the hardworking Portlanders whose lives are upended by this imported chaos.
The protesters? Leavitt laid it bare: “These people are not there to peacefully protest, they are there to cause mayhem and havoc.”
Trump’s National Guard plan isn’t about flexing federal might; it’s about restoring the rule of law that blue-city mayors have surrendered.
Leavitt’s stand in that briefing room echoes the fighting spirit of Trump himself—a refusal to let gaslighting go unchallenged. By spotlighting independent voices and local anguish, she’s arming the public with the truth the establishment suppresses.
As Portland’s nights grow longer and darker, the divide sharpens: one side fights for order and sovereignty, the other fans the flames of division. Leavitt’s words cut through the noise, a beacon for those who believe America deserves better than coddled chaos.
