White House Gives Wild Response To A Simple Question Asked By HuffPost Reporter

After President Donald Trump touted yet another meeting with his benefactor/murderous dictator Vladimir Putin, this time in Budapest, HuffPost contacted his top spokespeople at the White House with an obvious question: Why Budapest?After all, the Hungarian capital was the site of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which Ukraine gave up the thousands of nuclear weapons it had inherited upon the breakup of the Soviet Union in return for assurances that Russia would respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity.Putin broke that promise with his 2014 invasion and annexation of Crimea, with his decade-long military offensive in the Donbas region, and then with his all-out invasion in 2022. He continues killing Ukrainian civilians in their homes to this day with regular drone and missile attacks.Given all that, HuffPost asked the White House: Who picked Budapest?White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded minutes later with: “Your mom did.”White House Communications Director Steven Cheung after a minute added the far more succinct: “Your mom.”We’ll keep asking Trump’s spokespeople questions — especially the ones they don’t want to answer. Schoolyard taunts won’t deter us. Join us today and stand with a press that is fearless, free and fair.After HuffPost asked Leavitt if she thought her response was funny, she replied:“It’s funny to me that you actually consider yourself a journal [sic]. You are a far left hack who nobody takes seriously, including your colleagues in the media, they just don’t tell you that to your face. Stop texting me your disingenuous, biased, and bullshit questions.”HuffPost is devastated, and is fearful of asking any more questions, let alone escalating with “I’m rubber, you’re glue,” or some such.
