Journalist Yamiche Alcindor with NBC News did not let up on White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt Thursday over claims of "white genocide" in South Africa — and she was mercilessly eviscerated for her efforts to get at the truth.
While pursuing an answer on President Donald Trump's unsubstantiated claims of a "white genocide," Alcindor referenced President Donald Trump's Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa that more than one critic called an "ambush."
The two went back and forth, with Alcindor pressing for a satisfactory answer that never came. Instead, Leavitt accused Alcindor of engaging in a "ridiculous line of questioning."
On social media, MAGA celebrated.
Steve Bannon's right-wing Breitbart News posted, "@PressSec Karoline Leavitt FACT CHECKS NBC's Yamiche Alcindor, who is trying to deny the reality of white South Africans getting murdered after Trump's epic humiliation of President Cyril Ramaphosa."

"HOLY SH-- Karoline Leavitt just ended this NBC reporters career lying about burial grounds of white farmers k*lled in South Africa. Protect White Farmers at all costs," wrote MAGA Voice.
MAGA commentator Gunther Eagleman echoed this sentiment: "Karoline Leavitt just DESTROYED an NBC reporter! Ho Lee Sh--."
Eric Daugherty with FLVoiceNews wrote, "A reporter just tried to DENY the legitimacy of the video Trump played in the Oval Office, showcasing the burials of MURDERED white South Africans. Karoline Leavitt was NOT having this one...MAJOR smackdown."
"Just who did Yamiche Alcindor think she was dealing with when she began a question about South Africa with an incorrect premise? Karoline Leavitt's knock down of the premise and the questioner is impressive," posted writer David Asman.
Podcaster Benny Johnson wrote, "911 there’s been a murder. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just went OFF on a Fake News NBC reporter who claimed the videos President Trump shared of white South African burial sites were fake. Absolute bloodbath."
AmericanPapaBear told his nearly 300,000 followers, "Karoline Leavitt just TORCHED this FAKE NEWS reporter when she claims that there is no genocide happening to white farmers in South Africa. BEST PRESS SEC EVER!"
