It’s a great thing to finally have a team in office that wants to cut waste, fraud, and abuse.
Many individuals are supporting the efforts of the DOGE team, while the Democrats and their followers in the media have chosen to criticize these efforts. It seems that they are constantly in an anti-Trump mindset, so much so that they would find fault in any achievement he makes, even if he were to cure cancer and announce it.
Since it’s a ridiculous position to attack cutting waste, fraud, and abuse, now they’re trying to say/suggest, “Well, how you are doing it is bad.”
Listen as NBC’s Peter Alexander went there. But White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wasn’t letting him get away with it.
MUST WATCH: @PressSec smacks down Fake News loser @PeterAlexander as he tries to run cover for the WASTE, FRAUD, and ABUSE in the federal government.

Alexander mentioned that they have been receiving feedback from constituents in “traditionally red districts” who are expressing concerns about the lack of precision in the implementation of certain measures, referring to it as the “chainsaw” effect.
Leavitt highlighted that the overall response has been favorable, citing a recent poll indicating that 70 percent of people believed Trump was delivering on the promises he had made during his campaign. She emphasized that Trump had been transparent about his intentions and had been elected on the basis of these promises, which he is now fulfilling. In contrast, the Democrats had made commitments to address similar issues but had failed to follow through.
Then Alexander asked her to list what fraud they had found. She termed that a “clever” question. But she said she thought it was a “fraud” when the American taxpayers were being ripped off. She then also referred to the $71.8 billion in Social Security fraud that an IG found and even MSNBC had reported on, proving there was a problem. I don’t think Alexander expected her to have an answer without a briefing book there. But she’s not former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre; Leavitt actually knows the answer and will provide it.
