House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries accused White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Friday of being “demented” and “ignorant” after she criticized the Democratic Party’s “main constituency.”

Democrats have raged at Leavitt for stating on Thursday that the Democratic Party is made up of “Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals” as she criticized them for keeping the government shut down. Jeffries also told reporters that Leavitt was a “stone-cold liar” and shifted blame toward Republicans and the White House for the shutdown.

“And then you’ve got Karoline Leavitt, who’s sick. She’s out of control,” Jeffries said. “And I’m not sure whether she’s just demented or ignorant, stone-cold liar or all of the above. But the notion that an official White House spokesperson would say that the Democratic Party consists of terrorists, violent criminals and undocumented immigrants. This makes no sense that this is what the American people are getting from the Trump administration in the middle of a shutdown. So their actions continue to speak for themselves which is why they’re on the wrong side of public sentiment.”

WATCH:

Almost all of the Democrats voted to shut the government down on Oct. 1 after the Republicans attempted to pass a continuing resolution (CR) that did not include an extension of Biden-era subsidies in the Affordable Care Act. Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and independent Maine Sen. Angus King, who caucuses with Democrats, voted to keep the government open.

Democrats had previously voted for the same CR in past sessions. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who voted for the shutdown, previously said in September 2024 that a shutdown would make the average American “suffer most,” including those on Social Security.

President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance said that Schumer voted to shut the government down because he is afraid of Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez launching a primary challenge against him. Ocasio-Cortez and Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders lashed out at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during a Wednesday town hall for asking if Ocasio-Cortez is considering running for his seat.

Karoline Leavitt Says Trump Admin’s Naming And Shaming Of Sanctuary Cities Coming Back

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Caller on Tuesday that the Trump administration will soon be releasing a new list of sanctuary cities that are not in compliance with federal statutes.

The Department of Homeland and Security removed its previous list of “sanctuary jurisdictions” Sunday, which was previously ordered under a Trump executive order. After the list was first posted, several city leaders voiced concerns that their areas were included in the list.

Leavitt told the Caller at Tuesday’s White House briefing that the list would be reinstated soon.

“The Department of Homeland Security will be releasing a new list of sanctuary cities – an accurate list of sanctuary cities,” she said.

The Caller also asked Leavitt how the administration would be cracking down on sanctuary jurisdictions following the terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday. A month before the attack, the state passed sanctuary protections for illegal immigrants.

“As for what we’re doing to crack down, the president has signed executive orders and has directed the attorney general to prosecute federal – state and local officials were not complying with federal immigration force – authorities, and most importantly, federal immigration law,” Leavitt told the Caller.

Trump’s April executive order on sanctuary cities warned that jurisdictions that do not comply with federal law would be at risk of losing federal funding. The order also directs the U.S. attorney general and secretary of Homeland Security to “pursue all necessary legal remedies and enforcement measures to bring non-compliant jurisdictions into compliance.”

“The Order ensures illegal aliens are not being favored over American citizens by directing the Attorney General to address state or local laws that unlawfully prioritize aliens,” a fact sheet on the order writes.

It was under the same order that Trump directed DHS to publish a list of states and local jurisdictions that are “obstructing federal immigration law enforcement.” Each sanctuary jurisdiction will be notified of its non-compliance so they can be given an “opportunity to correct it.”

“DHS demands that these jurisdictions immediately review and revise their policies to align with Federal immigration laws and renew their obligation to protect American citizens, not dangerous illegal aliens,” the previous list reads.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked today what is the response to an unnamed politician in France to “return the Statue of Liberty” since, as he says, the Americans are not upholding the values this statue stands for.

Karoline has a blunt answer: “Absolutely not.”

And then, she added an answer that will go down in history, as she reminded them (the French) that it’s only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now.

WOW! That’s telling them, Karoline!
