In her initial White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt faced sharp criticism from CNN's Daniel Dale. He labeled her performance as evasive, particularly in addressing questions about the implications of President Trump's spending freeze on federal grants and loans. Dale pointed out that while Leavitt claimed to have answered questions about direct assistance programs, she failed to address concerns related to nonprofits and other federal funding that affects a range of essential services. This lack of clarity highlighted her reliance on distraction techniques over transparent communication.
"...it’s a classic spinmeister tactic saying I answered that when you haven’t answered it and apparently can’t answer it right away."
