Karoline Leavitt is determined to get to the bottom of Escalatorgate.
The White House Press Secretary is demanding answers about a malfunctioning escalator and teleprompter that stole the show during President Donald Trump’s big speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday.
Trump, 79, and First Lady Melania, 55, were forced to walk up the escalator at the UN Headquarters in New York after it stopped moving shortly after they stepped on. The teleprompter also stopped working as Trump took the podium, prompting the president to read his remarks from a printout.
Fox News host Jesse Watters, along with several other conservatives, decried the incidents as “sabotage.”
“Well, Jesse, that’s definitely what it appears to be to me,” Leavitt told the host on Jesse Watters Primetime.
