Donald Trump’s press secretary stunned reporters recently when she came out with a blunt message that seemed more of a warning than anything else.
Karoline Leavitt issued a stark warning to the press that if they lie about Trump’s administration they will be facing consequences.
Leavitt made the statement when she was asked about the recent White House decision to ban the AP from two presidential events.
The news comes after the media outlet chose to say no to Trump’s calls to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America although he issued the order for its renaming as part of an executive order.

She explained how it was certainly a privilege for anyone to cover the White House and as the press secretary, she had an honorable role that came with a lot of responsibility.
After that, she explained how no one in this world had the right to go into the Oval Office and ask the President of America questions until and unless an invite was provided.

She added how upfront she was during her briefing on day one. She felt that lies were being pushed out by various outlets in this room and therefore they would be holding them accountable for their actions.
The Associated Press was in Leavitt’s briefing on Wednesday with a correspondent located in the new agency’s usual front-row seat. Leavitt did not call on that reporter to ask any questions.
