In a very funny incident that came during the White House Press Briefing on Monday, March 17, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt utterly crushed CNN journalist and White House correspondent Kaitlin Collins. Leavitt did so by, while smirking, telling the CNN hack to do her job as a journalist rather than rant and rave in the briefing room.
At issue during the Monday briefing was President Donald Trump’s announcement in the early morning on that Monday that he would be considering former President Biden’s last-minute pardons null and void, as they were signed with an autopen and apparently without his knowledge, which President Trump asserted meant that they didn’t meet the requirements to be a legal pardon.
During the press briefing, Leavitt commented on the autopen aspect of the situation and told the journalists that they should be doing their jobs, which is what came up when she utterly roasted Collins. That came when Collins asked her, “Trump said Biden’s last-minute J6 committee pardons are null and void. Did attorneys at the White House tell him he can do this?
Responding, Leavitt noted that journalists should be looking into that. Doing so, she said, “The president was begging the question that I think a lot of journalists in this room should be asking about whether or not the former president of the United States — who I think we can all finally agree was cognitively impaired.”
She added that there were a great many incidents providing evidence of the fact that Biden wasn’t competent, and thus that journalists should be asking that. She said, directing her scorcher Kaitlin Collins’s way, “I know it took people some time to finally admit that, but we all know that to be true as evidenced by his disastrous debate performance against President Trump during the campaign. I digress on that . . . But the president was raising the (question of whether Biden knew) about these pardons? Was his legal signature used without his consent or knowledge? And that’s not just the president or me raising those questions, Kaitlan.”
She continued, noting that there is some evidence that Biden wasn’t even consulted on the pardons. She said, “According to the NYP, Biden officials raised these questions, and wondered if Biden was even consulted on these pardons. Everyone in this room should be looking into it, because that would propose possible criminal, illegal behavior.”
Further, commenting on a similar aspect of the autopen issue, Leavitt asked, “Was he aware of his signature being used on every single pardon?” Collins snapped, “Do you have any evidence on that?” Smirking, Leavitt told the woke and angry CNN reporter, “You’re a reporter, you should find out.” Watch her here:

As background, n his post, Trump began by commenting on the autopen matter. He said, “The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!”
He then claimed that Biden didn’t even know the relevant details, saying, “The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!”
