<\/p>\nWhite House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt laid the smackdown on NBC White House correspondent Peter Alexander after he attempted to frame the efforts of President Donald Trump\u2019s administration to cut waste, fraud and abuse as troublesome to Republican voters.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We\u2019re now hearing from constituents in some traditionally red districts right now complaining about what they say is the chainsaw approach, and saying that it\u2019s been done very sloppily, the cuts to jobs and spending. How do you respond to that criticism?\u201d the reporter asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love how the media takes a few critics, when the overwhelming response from the American people is support for what this administration is doing,\u201d Leavitt responded.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you look at the public polling, 70% of Americans, according to CBS, believe that President Trump is delivering on the promises he made,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd there should be no secret about the fact that this administration is committed to cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. The president campaigned on that promise,\u201d the press secretary said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmericans elected him on that promise, and he\u2019s actually delivering on it. And this is something that Democrats promised they would do for decades. President Trump is just the first president to get it done,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
