White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt laid the wood to Democrats and their House leader last week following an interview on Fox News with socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
Leavitt, during her own appearance on Fox’s “America Reports” program on Thursday, blasted Democrats for what the party has become: A haven for supporters of “Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals.”
“This interview proved that the Democrat party’s main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals,” she told co-hosts Sandra Smith and John Roberts. “That is who the Democrat Party is catering to.”
“Not the Trump administration and not the White House and not the Republican Party, who are standing up for law-abiding Americans, not just across the country, but around the world,” Leavitt continued.
“And that’s why President Trump worked so hard to end this conflict in the Middle East. It was President Trump who brought home the last living hostage out of Gaza, Edan Alexander, who has since been reunited with his family in New Jersey,” she said.
“It’s President Trump, who is actually pushing for peace. And I would like to add, where are all of the Free Palestine protesters? It’s president Trump who freed Palestine, literally, and they are now very much quiet, because why? They can’t stand President Trump,” Leavitt went on.
“And that is the basis of the Democrat Party today. They don’t stand for anything except for catering to their far left base, which as I said, includes anti-Semites, includes Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals who they want to let off freely to roam in American streets,” she concluded.
In a follow-up post on X, Leavitt responded to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ criticism of her remarks:
Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats are lashing out because they know what I said is true.
The Democrat Party’s elected officials absolutely cater to pro-Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals.
House Democrats voted against a resolution condemning Hamas following the horrific October 7th terrorist attacks, and Democrats cheered on pro-Hamas radicals while they hijacked America’s college campuses and harassed Jewish students.
Democrats opened our borders and allowed tens of millions of illegal aliens into our country over the past four years, including rapists and murderers, because they view them as future voters.
Democrats coddle violent criminals and support soft-on-crime policies like cashless bail that let violent offenders back on the streets to hurt law-abiding citizens.
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.
While Democrats and leftists feigned outrage, on cue, New York Post columnist Miranda Levine on Sunday revealed that Mamdani mugged it up with a Muslim imam linked to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
“It’s hard to believe that 24 years after 9/11, New York City is on the brink of voting in a Uganda-born Islamist mayor who campaigned last week with an unindicted co-conspirator in the first World Trade Center terrorist attack that killed six New Yorkers,” she wrote.
“Mamdani is so cocky that he boasted on social media about his Friday visit to radical Imam Siraj Wahhaj at his Bedford-Stuyvesant mosque, despite Wahhaj’s links to terrorists, and his openly homophobic rants,” she added.
Wahhaj is “a pillar of the Bed-Stuy community for nearly half a century,” Mamdani wrote on X posting a photo of himself and the imam with their arms around each other on Friday.
The imam, who wants Shariah law imposed on the US, is “one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders,” Mamdani added.
