White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt clashed with an NBC News correspondent over whether a video displayed by Donald Trump in the Oval Office during a meeting with South Africa’s president contained evidence of a “genocide” against white people is taking place in South Africa.
During Thursday’s briefing, NBC News reporter Yamiche Alcindor pointed out to Leavitt that a video Trump forced South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to watch during their meeting did not, as the president claimed, show a “burial” site for South African farmers, but instead depicted white crosses meant to represent slain farmers.
