Trump admin flunkies resort to new take on worn out GOP 'libs can't take a joke' theme [View all]

White House responds to report of Alaska summit papers left on public printer: ‘Hilarious’

“It’s hilarious that NPR is publishing a multi-page lunch menu and calling it a ‘security breach,’” White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said in a Saturday statement to The Hill’s sister network, NewsNation. “This type of self-proclaimed ‘investigative journalism’ is why no one takes them seriously and they are no longer taxpayer-funded thanks to President Trump.”

NPR reported that the eight papers, which contained information about meetings and locations of the summit, along with phone numbers of three U.S. government workers, were found on a hotel printer before the Friday Trump-Putin meeting at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson near Anchorage.

The first page of the papers showed the sequence of meetings for Friday, including information that the president would give Putin a gift. Pages two through five showed the names of the top U.S. and Russian officials in Alaska on Friday. Page two showed the phone numbers of three U.S. advance staffers. Pages six and seven showcased the lunch seating chart and the menu.


Yeah, the White House Boo-Boo-Clean-Up-Crew trying to brush off a security leak re meeting of leaders of the two most powerful nations as a menu? That sounds like 2025's version of the ol 'You libs can't take a joke' when a GOP pol trips over the foot he/she put in their own mouth.
