On Wednesday, March 4, 2026, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt engaged in a blistering three-minute shouting match with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. The argument erupted after Collins questioned comments made by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who suggested that media outlets putting dead American soldiers on the front page are doing so solely to damage President Trump’s standing. Leavitt doubled down on the claim, accusing Collins and CNN of harboring a bias designed to make the President "look bad" during the height of Operation Epic Fury.
