Trump White House Communications Director Steven Cheung eviscerated a leftist reporter Thursday for attempting to blame President Trump for the attack against two National Guard members.
While Andrew Wolfe is still in critical condition, Sarah Beckstrom has tragically passed away. Yet Jane Mayer, a staff writer at The New Yorker, pointed the finger at Trump, stating “This is so tragic, so unnecessary, these poor guardsmen should never have been deployed.”
“I live in DC and watched as they had virtually nothing to do but pick up trash. It was for political show and at what a cost,” Mayer blathered on X.

DC has one of the highest violent crime rates in the country, which has significantly fallen since the Guard were deployed there.
Cheung wasted no time in scolding Mayer over the insinuation.
“Jane, respectfully, shut the fuck up for trying to politicize this tragedy,” he posted, urging that the Guard are “protecting DC and trying to make the nation’s capital safer.”
“People like you who engage in ghoulish behavior lose all credibility. Not like you had any to begin with,” Cheung further blasted.

Meyer’s comments were also echoed by a reporter with The Hill, who was ratioed into oblivion on X.
SICKENING: ‘The Hill’ columnist Niall Stanage appears to justify the shooting of national guardsmen and suggests the victims and Trump hold responsibility because it was a “stupid” decision to deploy them

US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro Also had to argue with another reporter who attempted to blame Trump for the attack, arguing that the Guard should never have been in DC.
“There are people also upset with the President, believing that the National Guard members should not even have been there if it were not for the executive order,” the reporter stated.
Pirro responded, “I don’t even want to talk about whether they should have been there. We ought to kiss the ground and thank God that the President said it’s time to bring in more law enforcement to make sure that this city that had the fourth highest homicide rate in the country, that that violence was quelled. I’m not even going to go there!”
? HOLY CRAP! Jeanine Pirro just UNLEASHED on a reporter BLAMING the shooting on President Trump ?
