House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries launched a vicious personal attack this week, calling White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt “sick,” “out of control,” and even “demented” during a press appearance — and Leavitt didn’t back down. She fired back on Fox News, telling Democrats to stop the name-calling and to reopen the government for the sake of working Americans.
Leavitt doubled down on her original point that Democratic leaders have catered to radical elements of their base, bluntly accusing them of enabling “Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals,” and she made clear she stands by those words because of Democrats’ voting record and campus behavior. That kind of plainspoken truth-telling is exactly what precinct Americans are tired of hearing from a timid, spineless press corps.
Jeffries responded by pointing to alleged instances of antisemitism and other disturbing conduct tied to Republican circles, attempting to paint Leavitt’s rhetoric as part of a larger culture of extremism. Democrats love to moralize and point fingers, but their theatrics ring hollow when they are the same party blocking a clean funding resolution that would reopen the government.
Make no mistake: this fight is playing out against the backdrop of a government shutdown that began on October 1, with millions of Americans feeling the pain of politicians who refuse to do their jobs. Republicans passed a clean continuing resolution to keep the government open, while Democrats have repeatedly rejected straightforward funding — forcing taxpayers and federal workers to pay for political theater.
The administration has even frozen billions in projects to put pressure on obstructionist Democrats, and federal workers are already filing unemployment claims as a direct result of the shutdown’s chaos. If Democrats actually cared about ordinary Americans, they would drop the grandstanding and pass the clean CR instead of scoring cheap political points.
Karoline Leavitt’s bluntness should be celebrated, not condemned; America doesn’t need more carefully crafted euphemisms from smug Democrats and their media allies — it needs courage and clarity. If fighting back against a party that has lost its way and now shelters radicals and open-borders policies makes the White House press secretary a target, then so be it — at least someone in Washington is fighting for the safety and common sense of the American people.
Hardworking Americans are watching this circus and they know who’s putting ideology over livelihoods. It’s time for congressional Democrats to choose the country over their radical base, reopen the government, and stop attacking the messenger when she calls out the truth.
