https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/karoline-leavitt-reporter-lutnick-epstein-island-b2917783.htmlWhite House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday abruptly cut short a briefing with reporters after a reporter asked about Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.The question came hours after Lutnick, responding to questions from congressional lawmakers over documents released by the Justice Department, revealed that he misled the public about the extent of his ties to the convicted pedophile sex trafficker, who killed himself in jail while awaiting trial.Leavitt was roughly 20 minutes into one of her regular briefings with the White House press corps when a reporter asked whether President Donald Trump would stand behind Lutnick, who earlier in the day had admitted to members of the Senate Commerce Committee that he’d visited Epstein’s notorious private island, Little Saint James.She replied that Trump “fully supports” Lutnick and described him as “a very important member of President Trump's team.”But instead of allowing reporters to probe further into Trump’s views on Lutnick, or ask any other further questions, Leavitt launched into a monologue chastising reporters for not asking about various positive statistics touted by the administration on issues of importance to the president.
“I will just point out that there are a lot of wins in the news this week that people in this room have not asked about — you continue to ask questions about the same subject — so let me point them out for you again,” she said.Leavitt then started rattling off a list of days-old topics, including stock market results from this past Friday, a medical group announcing opposition to performing gender transition surgery on minors, or recent reductions in the national crime rate.“So we're going to get back to business. The president is very busy tonight, and you'll see him all tomorrow at the event in the East Room touting his administration’s energy policy,” she said.She then turned and walked out of the room with a group of aides in tow.Leavitt also answered a question about another document released by the administration which relayed a secondhand report alleging that Trump had spoken to a Palm Beach, Florida police chief about Epstein and claimed that “everyone” knew about the pedophile’s illegal activities with minors.Although she would not confirm whether the alleged 2006 phone call actually happened, she claimed Trump has always been “honest and transparent” about his relationship with Epstein, who was once among one of his closest friends before the two men had a falling-out in the early 2000s.Lutnick, a longtime friend of the president who had pushed to become Treasury Secretary after serving as the finance chief for Trump’s 2024 campaign, has not been similarly “honest and transparent” about his ties to the dead rapist.
While he had told the New York Post in October that he’d cut off contact with Epstein — his onetime next door neighbor — after a 2005 encounter that he claimed had left him so unsettled that he’d vowed to “never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again,” documents released by the Justice Department showed that Lutnick not only maintained ties with Epstein as late as 2018 — the year before he was indicted on federal sex trafficking charges and long after he’d spent time in jail for state-level offenses related to his preying on young girls — but even arranged a visit to Epstein’s so-called “rape island” in 2012.The commerce secretary admitted to visiting the infamous landmass, which is part of the U.S. Virgin Islands, on Tuesday under questioning from Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen.“I did have lunch with him, as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies,” he said.“We had lunch on the island, that is true, for an hour, and we left with all of my children with my nannies and my wife … I don’t recall why we did it.”Lutnick also claimed in his testimony that he “did not have any relationship with” Epstein and “barely had anything to do with that person.”
Lutnick was probably just bringing his kids to their bar mitzvahs on Epstein island, stop asking questions you antisemitic libtards

Why won't you talk about how gas prices at 5 cents lower!?"
MAGA then: DRAIN THE SWAMP!MAGA now: pedophiles are a protected species in federal wetlands
reminder that leavitt is in her 20s and her husband is in his 60s.
>>1487968Text doesn't do it justice, the video is greatShe straight up melts down starting at about 22:00https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrVu0idVb2o
>>1487966/pol/ needs you….
>>1487966This. It is totally normal behavior to repeatedly visit Epstein island. Remember the Holocaust? If Jews don’t get together we will get more Hitlers. 6 million Jews died and you’re trying to ignite a witch hunt?
>>1487945What's always stood out to me besides the obvious stuff like the pubic hair signature is that he writes it as a script, which I think makes clear that Donnie has always been a New York entertainer.
"Hot lips" Leavitt, "Wow, imagine those lips puckered around the boss's anus"!
>>1487971>meltdown>liggeral journos asking incessant questions about Rapestein.>They have the rapestein file.Seems useless. Good time to just end it since the fagocrat journos, most of whom also have ties to Rapestein, are trying to keep the Israeli asset in the news cycle without mentioning he's Mossad and contributed mostly to Democrats.
EOD I don't even care if Trump raped kids because gas is close to $2.50.If he can get it to $1.99 he can come rape my kids.
>>1488035I love watching shill language slowly get more and more deranged until the point of becoming completely incomprehsnible.>The liggural journos are cramking a lot of derang bout the rapestein rapalog, hope this doesn't skeevereeve some fagocrats
>>1488063Just shows you're on the wrong side of history.Stay in line and keep trying to redefine a woman as a human in women's clothing, it's not weird at all.Also, great post i'm stealing your lingo, liggeral bitchwad.And you know what? Instead of just spamming "esl shill" 24/7 I try to create posts worth reading. You're welcome, troonstick.
>>1488068You sound like a nerd coming up with in-universe star wars slang lmao
>>1488071STFU Nerfherdigger.
>>1488075you sound like a german trying to be racist and failing miserably. just go home man :p
>>1488071Yes, saying that there is a difference between gender and sex sounds like some made up starwars stuff like the force
>>1488080There is, but "gender" means "personality".And reminder: school shooter is an LGBTQ gender.
>>1488079>GermanThere's zero euro content in my posts. Do my posts look retarded, faggy, and liggeral?
>>1488085>And reminder: school shooter is an LGBTQ gender.no its fucking not retard lmao
>>1488090>9 trillion genders>That's not a valid gender!!OK, CHUB
>>1488091My gender is Apache school bomber.
She's a robot who spouts programmed bullshit. When someone challenges her, she has to cut them off and try to change the subject back to her programmed responses. When that fails, she says "Your mom" and walks out of the briefing.They say the newer models will have better responses.
>>1487970Rather telling that almost every prominent woman in that administration is some form of trophy wife or gold digger. Only exception I can think of is Tulsi Gabbard, who instead falls into the male-dominated category of Fucking Traitor.
>>1487945>press asks some gotcha question>don't have a prepared answer>don't give an answer that she doesn't haveIf I was press secretary I would simply tell journalists that their random questions are off topic from the subject of the press brief.
>>1488160That's actually worse than giving a bad answer lol. Especially when it pertains to them literally asking about a cover up.
>>1488161It would still be better than "OMGEE WHY ARE YOU GUYS ASKING ABOUT SOMETHING THE COMMERCE SECRETARY SAID BEFORE CONGRESS LIKE AN HOUR AGO!?! NOT ONE OF YOU ASKED ABOUT ANY OF MY OUTDATED PRE-WRITTEN TALKING POINTS! YOU'RE ALL BIG MEANIES, BRIEFING OVER!"
>>1488164True but barely. And either option makes you look incompetent at best and literally complicit in sex trafficking at worse.
>>1488164I mean sometimes the press secretary's job is hardhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/nZGx511XZCUWhat are you supposed to do when your job is to cover up the president has cancer and likely has had it his entire presidency, and then he admits he has cancer in a gaffe. How are you supposed to answer press questions about Biden's cancer status?
>>1488174Broken thread derailment bot, or incompetent thread derailment shill?
