"Unfortunately, the mainstream media has been blinded by this bias — this
anti-Trump bias — and it's actually quite sad because rather than dealing with people who are truly interested in journalistic integrity and finding out the truth in the facts, they're coming into that room with a preconceived narrative and bias," the 27-year-old told the anchor and Donald's daughter-in-law.
"The president speaks the truth. He speaks his mind directly — it's just my job to prepare and figure out what the truth is versus what the fake news narratives are and then just bring that to the podium," she added.
Karoline also claimed she gets to see a version of the
businessman the public will never get a peek at.
"I think the best thing about him that I've learned is he's a great listener and he values the opinions of everybody in the room and that's fascinating to me as the leader of the free world, that he cares what everybody in the room thinks," the New Hampshire native revealed.
"Sometimes it means we're running late throughout the day. Trump time is a real thing, but it's because he's so hospitable and generous with his time," she explained to Lara.
The
political aide is currently the youngest person in the history of the White House to hold her position — something Karoline does not take lightly. "Definitely never imagined this, but I love my job," she admitted.
"I'm so honored and humbled to be the press secretary for President Trump, who, as you said, truly is the most dynamic president in our lifetimes and it's such a blessing every day when I show up to this place — the beautiful White House — to work. I just thank God for the opportunity," Karoline gushed.
While Donald seems to think the government official is more than qualified, people in the media have seen
skeptical.
Former CNN anchor
Jim Acosta slammed Karoline during an interview on the "MeidasTouch" podcast, where he called her a "kid" who "lies."
"She [Karoline] might just get on Trump's all-star team of liars," the journalist said. "She might be on the bench right now, but if she keeps working hard, she does her homework, she just might make it onto the team. It's sort of like…when your kid is telling you a tall tale and you're just looking at them like, 'Okay Johnny, sure, yeah, I believe you.'"
