"PSAKI: Nope. That's not factual. No surprise. That was wrong there. I mean, whether she was lying or just ignorant is really, I guess, up for debate. But with the help of an iPad, Congressman Seth Magaziner proceeded to confront her with the facts, putting her face to face with a veteran who had indeed been kicked out of the country after nearly 50 years in the United States."
"PETER DOOCY, FOX NEWS REPORTER: Based on the way that things stand right now, is Operation Southern Spear about drugs or is it about oil? KAROLINE LEAVITT, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: The Trump administration is focused on doing many things in the western hemisphere. PSAKI: I mean, many things. A good question by my old buddy Peter Doocy. Many things, they say. So, one day it's about the drugs. The next day can be about the oil."
Jen Psaki praised Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy for confronting White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt about Operation Southern Spear at a White House briefing. Doocy asked whether the operation was about drugs or oil after reports of airstrikes and a seizure involving Venezuelan boats. Leavitt responded with a vague statement that the administration is focused on many things in the western hemisphere. Psaki criticized Leavitt's accuracy and recounted Congressman Seth Magaziner confronting her with facts, including a veteran who had been deported after nearly 50 years in the United States. The White House struggled to answer basic questions about its Latin America operations.
