White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt unloaded on CNN’s Kaitlan Collins for asking about the administration’s position on media coverage of U.S. soldiers killed in the conflict raging in Iran and across the Middle East.

At a briefing Wednesday, CNN’s chief White House correspondent asked Leavitt about a comment Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made at an earlier Pentagon press conference, where he complained that the “fake news” was reporting on the deaths of the fallen service members to make President Donald Trump “look bad.”

“Is it the position of this administration that the press should not prominently cover the deaths of U.S. service members?” Collins asked Leavitt.

“No,” Leavitt answered. “It's the position of this administration that the press in this room and the press across the country should accurately report on the success of Operation Epic Fury and the damage it is doing to the rogue Iranian regime that has threatened the lives of every single American in this room.”
