White House SHUTS DOWN ‘Fake News’ On Texas Flood Warnings | NWS Gave ‘Early Alerts’, Was ‘Fully…’ [Video]

White House SHUTS DOWN ‘Fake News’ On Texas Flood Warnings | NWS Gave ‘Early Alerts’, Was ‘Fully…’

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully rebutted media reports blaming the National Weather Service (NWS) for the catastrophic Texas flooding, which left at least 82 dead. In a fiery press briefing, Leavitt dismissed claims that NWS offices were understaffed or delayed in issuing warnings. “Fake news,” she said, confirming San Angelo and San Antonio offices had full meteorologist teams—12 and 11 forecasters, respectively. She detailed that initial weather risk alerts were issued as early as July 2, with escalating warnings on July 3 and an official flood watch by 1:18 P.M. Leavitt emphasized that warnings were “early and consistent,” despite the flood striking during early morning hours. As questions swirl over the government’s disaster readiness, the White House insists the systems in place worked — and that misleading narratives must stop. The press secretary’s remarks mark a key moment in the intensifying political fallout surrounding the Texas tragedy. #TexasFloods #KarolineLeavitt #NationalWeatherService #FloodWarnings #DisasterResponse #FakeNewsAlert #PressBriefing #NWSStaffing #TexasEmergency #WhiteHouseResponse #FloodTragedy #WeatherAlert #SanAngeloWeather #SanAntonioFloods #LeavittPressConference #MediaAccountability #FEMAUpdate #BreakingNews #TexasWatch #NWSDefense ~HT.410~ED.420~

Karoline Leavitt SLAMS Media And Democrats Over Texas Flood ‘Lies’ After Deadly Disaster Kills Many [Video]

Karoline Leavitt SLAMS Media And Democrats Over Texas Flood ‘Lies’ After Deadly Disaster Kills Many

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a blistering response to critics following the catastrophic Texas floods that killed dozens. Addressing the press on Monday, Leavitt accused some media outlets and Democratic leaders of spreading “depraved, disgusting lies” about the administration’s response. She firmly rejected accusations of federal delay or negligence, saying rescue teams and emergency resources were “mobilized within hours.” The flood, which left entire communities submerged and at least 82 people dead, has ignited a new political firestorm, with critics blaming budget cuts and preparedness failures. Leavitt dismissed the allegations as “shameful exploitation of tragedy for political gain.” Her forceful defense and condemnation of the narrative sparked immediate reactions across social media and Capitol Hill. As floodwaters recede, the political storm is only intensifying — and Leavitt has made clear: the administration won’t stay silent. #TexasFloods #KarolineLeavitt #PressBriefing #FloodResponse #DisasterPolitics #MediaLies #TexasDisaster #WhiteHouseBriefing #LeavittClapback #FloodCrisis #TexasEmergency #DemocratBacklash #TrumpAdministration #FEMAResponse #NaturalDisaster #GOPvsMedia #TexasTragedy #PoliticalStorm #FloodAftermath #DisasterNarratives ~HT.410~ED.194~
