From the Washington Examiner: The White House celebrated Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day on Tuesday with a special briefing by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and the children of White House reporters and staff.
The Washington Examiner was well represented during the event. Hazel-Jane Willis and Bobbie-Lynn Willis, daughters of the Washington Examiner‘s White House reporter Haisten Willis, both asked the press secretary questions.
Bobbie-Lynn, 5, asked Leavitt about White House staffing: “How many people has he [President Donald Trump] fired?”
“We have not had anyone fired with the exception of one individual who did leave their job,” Leavitt responded with a laugh, referencing former national security adviser Mike Waltz’s departure from the White House and nomination to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. “But we have a great team here. So far, so good. Thank you for the question.”
Multiple children asked questions about President Trump, including what religion he is, what he plans to do about climate change, what kind of candy he likes, and more.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt started off the briefing by saying it is “great to see so many future leaders here.”
