White House slams CNN for not covering 'Angel families' event: 'Total disgrace'

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed CNN Monday for not covering President Donald Trump's event with families who lost loved ones, such as Laken Riley, because of illegal migrants.

The outlet said it was focusing its coverage on the blizzard in the northeast but did cover the White House event as an entry on their liveblog, according to Fox News.

Leavitt claimed CNN's decision not to cover the event was because the outlet "doesn't care about the victims of illegal alien crime." 

"[CNN] is a total disgrace," Leavitt posted on X. "President Trump hosted a powerful event honoring Angel Families who lost loved ones at the hands of illegal alien criminals and deadly drugs – but CNN refused to cover EVEN one second of it.

"They pretend to be a news organization, but they refuse to cover anything that doesn’t fit the Left’s narrative," she continued. "This is why CNN is failing and losing all of their viewership."

The event featured Trump talking about some of the impact that illegal migrants have had on Americans, and concluded with the president designating Feb. 22 as National Angel Family Day.

“Everyone in this room not only suffered an infinite loss,” Trump said in remarks. “They were the victims of politicians who put the comfort of foreign criminals before the safety of American citizens and American patriots. Their stories were censored and suppressed like maybe almost never before so that the politicians could open our borders and allow our nation to be invaded.”
