President Trump pounded a dishonest ABC News reporter after catching her repeating the exact same gotcha question during a White House event on the economy.
On Monday, Rachel Scott attempted to ambush Trump during a White House roundtable focused on the economy with an inquiry on the September 2nd strike on a drug boat from Venezuela ordered by his administration. This strike in question is the first of dozens against drug boats in the Caribbean Sea, which have killed nearly 100 drug traffickers and reduced the number of drugs entering America.
As TGP readers know, A November 29 report from the Washington Post claimed that Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered troops to “kill everybody” on board the boats and ordered a double strike to kill survivors clinging to the wreckage of a ship in the Caribbean Sea.
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) described the operations as “blatantly illegal,” adding, “Mark my words: It may take some time, but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or outright murder.”
Scott tried to deceive the room into believing that Trump had vowed to release the full video of the attack, which would supposedly put Hegseth in legal jeopardy, but Trump quickly called her out.
Trump then explained that he was okay with whatever Hegseth wanted to do regarding the video. He went on to say he saw the video and detailed why the strikes were so crucial to safeguarding our national security
But Scott remained unsatisfied and asked Trump the SAME question, even after he had already answered.
Trump, as expected, went absolutely nuclear on her with textbook fiery reply.

TRUMP: I never said that. You said that. This is ABC fake news.
SCOTT: You said you would have no problem releasing…Okay, Secretary Hegseth…
TRUMP: Whatever Hegseth wants to do is okay with me.
SCOTT: Are you ordering the secretary to release the full video?

SCOTT: Are you okay to release the whole video?
TRUMP: Didn’t I just tell you that?
SCOTT: You just said it was…
TRUMP: You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place. Let me just tell you: you are an obnoxious, terrible reporter.
It’s always the same thing with you. I told you: whatever Pete Hegseth wants to do is OK with me.
