White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is facing intense backlash after a video clip of her remarks about the Democratic Party went viral, prompting many online, including Congressman Greg Casar, to call for her resignation. In the clip, Leavitt said, “The Democrat Party’s main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals. That is who the Democrat Party is catering to, not the Trump administration and not the White House, and not the Republican Party who is standing up for law abiding Americans, not just across the country, but around the world.” The statement quickly drew widespread condemnation across social media and political circles, with critics accusing her of making dangerously inflammatory and divisive remarks.
Among those speaking out was Congressman Greg Casar, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to directly call for Leavitt’s resignation. “Karoline Leavitt should resign,” Casar wrote. “They try to make us hate each other to distract from the fact that they’re robbing us all blind. It’s sick.” As of Saturday morning, the clip continues to circulate widely across social media, sparking debate among political commentators and voters alike. Supporters of Leavitt have defended her comments as “truthful,” while critics say the remarks cross a dangerous line.
Karoline Leavitt Escalates Feud With Hakeem Jeffries, Calls Him a ‘Stone-Cold Loser’
The controversy surrounding Karoline Leavitt’s remarks comes just days after another heated exchange, but this time with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who publicly called the White House press secretary “sick” and “demented” in response to her earlier comments about Democrats.
Rather than backing down, Leavitt doubled down in a statement to Fox News Digital, firing back with sharp words for both Jeffries and the Democratic Party. “Hakeem and Democrats are lashing out because they know what I said is true,” Leavitt said. “The Democrat Party’s elected officials absolutely cater to pro-Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals.”
She accused Democrats of refusing to condemn Hamas after the October 7 attacks, of “cheering on radicals” who harassed Jewish students on college campuses, and of promoting immigration and criminal justice policies that she claimed put Americans at risk. Leavitt didn’t hold back when addressing Jeffries directly, saying, “Democrats do NOT serve the interests of the American people. Hakeem Jeffries is an America Last, stone-cold loser. Now open up the government and stop simping to try to get your radical left-wing base to like you.”
Her remarks have further inflamed tensions between party leaders, sparking renewed debate about rhetoric and responsibility from public officials.
