Karoline Leavitt Criticizes Hakeem Jeffries as ‘Stone-Cold Loser’ After Insult
In a recent exchange, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fiercely criticized House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. This confrontation unfolded following Jeffries’s remarks where he labeled Leavitt “sick” and accused her of spreading misinformation.
Leavitt Challenges Jeffries and Democrats
Leavitt responded to Jeffries’s attacks by asserting that he and the Democratic Party are reacting defensively to valid claims she made about their policies. “Hakeem and Democrats lash out because they know my statements are true,” she stated.
During her remarks, Leavitt accused the Democratic Party of supporting pro-Hamas groups and illegal immigration. She pointed out that Democrats voted against a resolution condemning Hamas after the October 7 terrorist attacks, claiming they have catered to pro-Hamas sentiments on college campuses.
She further claimed that, over the past four years, Democrats have allowed millions of illegal immigrants, including violent offenders, into the U.S. Leavitt criticized their soft-on-crime policies that, according to her, endanger law-abiding citizens.
Jeffries Responds
In response, Hakeem Jeffries defended his party during a press conference, targeting Leavitt’s statements directly. “Karoline Leavitt is out of control,” he remarked. Jeffries further questioned her credibility, suggesting she might be “demented, ignorant, a stone-cold liar, or all of the above.”
Government Shutdown Continues
The tensions between the two parties have intensified amid an ongoing government shutdown. The standoff began when Congress was unable to agree on federal funding. The shutdown is expected to extend into its fourth week, after Senate Democrats blocked the GOP’s funding bill for the tenth time.
- Congress failed to reach a funding agreement.
- The shutdown is expected to continue due to ongoing negotiations.
- Democrats demand healthcare concessions in any funding deal.
As negotiations stall, Leavitt’s comments reflect the deepening divide between parties, highlighting a growing sense of urgency for a resolution.
