White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shredded the legacy media for the way it mocked President Donald Trump and many conservatives during the height of the COVID pandemic when the president and others said they believed that the virus came from a lab in Wuhan, China.
Her comments came after Trump’s new CIA director, John Ratcliffe, confirmed that intelligence indicates that the virus originated from the lab.
“Many years too late, the Biden administration had a chance to let the American people know the truth about that, and for some reason, they chose not to,” Leavitt said during a White House press briefing this week.
She mentioned how the media responded with ridicule when, in 2020, Trump veered from the accepted narrative that the virus originated from a bat.
“Many members in this very room mocked him for that, said he was spewing conspiracy theories. He was not,” she said, scolding the press. “We now know that to be the confirmable truth. It took many years for it to come out, but the president was right in this instance again.”
Ratcliffe discussed the discrepancy in an interview with Breitbart News.
