White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt calls an NBC reporter’s question ‘ridiculous’ after pushback over Trump’s video shown to South Africa’s president.

The White House pushed back against statements from a reporter challenging statements from the Trump administration regarding the treatment of White South African farmers – after President Donald Trump showed a video allegedly depicting burial sites of them at the White House on Wednesday.

While hosting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Trump aired a video in the Oval Office that showed white crosses that Trump said were approximately 1,000 burial sites of White Afrikaner South African farmers. Trump has claimed these farmers are being forced off of their land.

But Yamiche Alcindor with NBC News questioned White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on the credibility of the video, amid reports that the crosses were from a memorial demonstration following the murder of a White farming couple, not actual burial sites.

"We know that that was not true and that the video wasn't true," Alcindor said during the White House press briefing on Thursday.

Leavitt and Alcindor sparred and talked over one another, with Alcindor asking "what protocols are in place when there's unsubstantiated information being put out for the world and world leaders?"
