BREAKING NEWS Karoline Leavitt brutally shoots down reporter's 'stupid question' about protests at Trump's Army parade

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt knocked a reporter for asking a 'stupid question' when being queried Wednesday over potential protests of President Donald Trump 's military parade on Saturday. NOTUS' Jasmine Wright called attention to the warning Trump gave Tuesday in the Oval Office as he heralded the upcoming parade, which is to mark the Army's 250th anniversary. 'By the way, for those people who want to protest, they are going to be met with very big force,' Trump said. 'And I haven't even heard about a protest, but you know this is people that hate our country, but they will be met with very heavy force,' the president added. Wright asked Leavitt to 'clarify what kind of protest President Trump does support or find acceptable.' 'The president absolutely supports peaceful protests. He supports the First Amendment. He supports the right of Americans to make their voices heard,' the press secretary answered. 'He does not support violence of any kind, he does not support assaulting law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their jobs.' 'It's very clear for the president what he supports and what he does not,' Leavitt continued. 'Unfortunately for Democrats that line has not been made clear, and they've allowed this unrest and violence to continue and the president has had to step in.' Wright then asked 'if there were peaceful protests on Saturday' would they be allowed to go forward. 'Of course the president supports peaceful protests. What a stupid question,' Leavitt snapped.
