Karoline Levitt Helps CNN's Kaitlan Collins in Saudi Arabia, Despite Past Clashes

White House press secretary under President Donald Trump, Karoline Levitt, has had a history of clashing with the media. However, a surprising act of assistance has recently come to light, involving CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins.

During Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia, Kaitlan Collins found herself in a difficult situation. After asking a question that displeased the Saudi Royal Guard, she was denied access to the next event. Enter Karoline Levitt, who, despite their past disagreements, stepped in to help.

Levitt, known for her role in denying access to news platforms deemed unfriendly to Trump during his presidency, intervened in this instance. She ensured that Collins was allowed to enter the next event, demonstrating the importance of press access and the potential for professional courtesy to override previous tensions.

This incident highlights the complex nature of Levitt's role as press secretary and the potential for professional courtesy to transcend political or personal differences. Despite their past clashes, Levitt's intervention ensured that press access was maintained, a crucial aspect of democratic accountability.
