Karoline Leavitt gets fiery and doubles down after press questions ‘white genocide’

  • White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended President Donald Trump's claim that a video showed a burial site for farmers in South Africa during a press briefing, stating, "It's not true that the video was showing a burial site."
  • NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor challenged Leavitt, revealing that the video depicted a memorial of crosses for a farming couple killed in 2020, not a burial site for numerous victims.
  • Leavitt asserted the video represented farmers killed due to racial persecution, while Alcindor emphasized the embellishment and lack of evidence for genocide claims in South Africa.
  • Research indicates that incidents of violence against farmers in South Africa do not equate to genocide, with recent reports documenting a small number of murder cases since 1990.
