The Trump administration is failing, and since they have no interest in admitting they were wrong on many issues, and no interest in governing, they have decided to demonize their opponents.
On Thursday, as the administration refused to negotiate to end the government shutdown, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt went on Fox News and said Democrats’ core constituency is Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals. That’s what the Democratic Party is focused on. Not the Trump administration and not the White House and not the Republican Party, which stands up for law-abiding Americans, and not just across the country. but all over the world.”
Leavitt’s comments came ahead of the national No Kings protest, which is expected to see millions of Americans take to the streets at thousands of events. Her comments also followed the Young Republicans chat scandal, in which Republican members of the organization proclaimed their love for Hitler. By the way, the Young Republicans in that chat weren’t kids. They were men in their thirties. Anyone under the age of 40 is considered a young Republican.
We have now reached the point in the Trump administration’s attempt at authoritarianism for dummies where they are demonizing the opposition.
This time the opposition is fighting back.
During his now daily update briefing on the government shutdown, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) did not hold back when speaking about Leavitt.
