A “new media” briefing held by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday started with a bang as one of the attendees thanked Leavitt for bringing back English-speaking Uber drivers.
Leavitt kicked off the event with an extended preamble that saw her declare it “our first official influencer briefing here at the White House,” observe that “tens of millions of Americans are now turning to social media and independent media outlets to consume their news,” as well as boast that “this has truly been the most transparent and accessible presidency in American history.”
Then she prompted MAGA influencer Arynne Wexler to ask the first question.
