'Left-Wing Hack' Reporter Feuding With White House Fires Back on CNN: 'The President Lies!'

"Date discussed his public feud with Leavitt on CNN News Central with anchor Boris Sanchez on Tuesday afternoon. Date, when Sanchez asked for his response to Leavitt, said he was not interested in stenography while covering Trump. I routinely say that the president lies he does. What can I do? That's who he is, Date said. So I don't apologize for that at all."

"His CNN appearance comes a day after Leavitt shared a screenshot of a text exchange in which she called Date an unserious far left hack, and asked him to stop sending her his disingenuous, biased, and bullsh*t questions. Her X post accompanying the screenshot also called Date, who is HuffPost's White House correspondent, a left-wing hack. Leavitt posted the screenshot a few days after Date published a story titled, White House Gives Wild Response To A Simple Question Asked By HuffPost Reporter."

"Date, in the story, reported Leavitt responded Your mom did when he asked her, Who suggested Budapest? for an upcoming meeting between Trump and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. His story questioned the selection of the Hungarian capital, since Putin had violated the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, where Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for Russia respecting its territory a deal that was obviously violated by Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine."

S.V. Date rejected the left-wing hack label Karoline Leavitt applied and said he would be failing his audience to not point out that President Donald Trump routinely lies. He said he is not interested in stenography while covering Trump and that he does not apologize for calling out those falsehoods. Leavitt shared a screenshot of a text calling Date an unserious far left hack and told him to stop sending disingenuous, biased, and bullsh*t questions. The exchange followed Date reporting that Leavitt responded "Your mom did" when asked who suggested Budapest for a Trump-Putin meeting. Date questioned the choice of Budapest given Russia's violation of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum and the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
