Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo has revoked the license of a nurse who wished childbirth injuries on White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
State Attorney General James Uthmeier (R-FL) announced the move to strip Lexie Lawler of her Florida state nursing license in a post on X on Wednesday, praising Ladapo for taking such a &#8220;decisive action&#8221; and ensuring that those who wish harm on others — particularly those who work in fields like health care — face consequences for doing so.
&#8220;Effective today, Lexie Lawler is no longer allowed to practice nursing in Florida. Making statements that wish pain and suffering on anyone, when those statements are directly related to one&#8217;s practice, is an ethical red line we should not cross,&#8221; Uthmeier <a href="https://x.com/AGJamesUthmeier/status/2016551568779202738">posted</a>.
After learning one day earlier that Lawler had been fired for her statements directed at Leavitt, Uthmeier had <a href="https://x.com/AGJamesUthmeier/status/2016244226757972192">argued</a> that simply the loss of her job was not adequate: &#8220;Being fired isn’t good enough. Any healthcare worker who fails to uphold his or her obligation to provide adequate, safe healthcare should not be licensed in Florida. No excuses!&#8221;
Uthmeier issued a similar statement to Fox News Digital, saying, &#8220;Women shouldn’t have to worry about a politically driven nurse who wishes them pain and suffering being in the delivery room during childbirth. It’s evil. The Florida Board of Nursing must take action to keep this person away from patients permanently.&#8221;
Lawler&#8217;s original TikTok video went viral — with a little help from Libs of TikTok — prompting backlash as she expressed her sincere wish for Leavitt to suffer permanent damage from a difficult delivery.
&#8220;As a labor and delivery nurse, it gives me great joy to wish Karoline Leavitt a fourth degree tear,&#8221; she said, adding, &#8220;I hope you f*cking rip from bow to stern and never sh*t normally again, you c*nt.&#8221;
A fourth-degree tear is the most severe type of obstetric tear and includes lacerations that extend through the perineal muscles into the rectal lining. Such tears require surgery to repair and six to eight weeks of recovery time — and only 60% to 80% of women will fully recover with no further complications.
A short time after the video went viral, Baptist Health confirmed that Lawler had been let go from her job, releasing the following statement to Boca Raton <a href="https://cbs12.com/news/local/boca-raton-nurse-fired-after-graphic-tiktok-targeting-pregnant-white-house-official-karoline-leavitt-white-house-press-secretary-karoline-leavitt-baptist-health-boca-raton-regional-hospital-january-23-2026">CBS affiliate</a> 12 News: &#8220;The comments made in a social media video by a nurse at one of our facilities do not reflect our values or the standards we expect of health care professionals. Following a prompt review, the individual is no longer employed by our health system.&#8221;

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday torched elected Democrats in Minnesota for stoking unrest that has contributed to the shooting deaths of two Americans by federal immigration authorities.
Leavitt <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2015856478154850595">blamed</a> Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for “spreading lies about federal law enforcement officers who are risking their lives daily to remove the worst criminal illegal aliens from our streets: murderers, rapists, pedophiles, human traffickers, and gang members.”
Walz and Frey have been outspoken critics of federal immigration operations in the Twin Cities area. Frey has <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/wave-car-attacks-ice-agents-follows-incendiary-rhetoric-from-target-city-leaders">accused</a> ICE of “terrorizing our communities,” while Walz has repeatedly compared federal immigration enforcement to Nazis. On Sunday, Walz compared the state of illegal aliens in Minnesota to that of Anne Frank, a Jewish girl who hid from the Nazi regime in an attic for over two years before dying in a concentration camp during the Holocaust.
“Such dangerous rhetoric, as I pointed out, is exactly what has brought us to this position today, where you have elected Democrat officials across the country who are encouraging left-wing agitators and crazy people to go out and unlawfully obstruct lawful immigration enforcement,” <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2015857172874236233">said</a> Leavitt.
“This rhetoric against ICE, comparing them to Nazi Gestapo, Donald Trump&#8217;s police force, is despicable, it is shameful, and it is precisely what has led to the escalation of tensions in Minneapolis and in other places across the country,” she added.
Tensions in Minneapolis have exploded following two immigration enforcement-involved shootings. A Customs and Border Protection agent over the weekend shot and killed Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse at a VA hospital, who was allegedly interfering with immigration operations in the city. Pretti’s death came just weeks after Renee Good was shot and killed in her vehicle after appearing to drive in the direction of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis.
President Donald Trump and Walz took a step toward ratcheting down tensions on Monday. The president and the governor spoke over the phone and had “a very good call,” Trump posted on Truth Social. Walz’s office released a statement that described the call as “productive.”
“[W]e, actually, seemed to be on a similar wavelength,” Trump said.
Leavitt said during the press conference that Trump would agree to pull Customs and Border Patrol out of Minnesota if local law enforcement in the state would work with ICE agents to arrest dangerous illegal aliens.

The negative portrayal of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents by Democrats is leading to violence in the streets, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt warned on Thursday after The Daily Wire’s Mary Margaret Olohan asked her about rising unrest.
Leavitt showed a picture of a CNN chyron that read: “Protests Erupt After Federal Agent Shoots Man In Minneapolis.”
“That’s not the story,” Leavitt said.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
To learn the real story, Leavitt urged Americans to turn to the Department of Homeland Security’s statement.
“This ICE agent was executing a targeted operation against a Venezuelan illegal alien who was unlawfully present in this country,” Leavitt said. “When this ICE agent tried to detain the individual, three more of his comrades came rushing out of the house and started ambushing and attacking the ICE agent. They used a shovel or a broom to smash his face in, and so yes, that agent had to use self-defense and take up his weapon to protect his own life.”
The press secretary reiterated that ICE agents and law enforcement are enforcing the country’s immigration laws while “elected officials are encouraging violence” against “our brave men and women in law enforcement.”
“Democratic governors and mayors” were not the only targets of Leavitt; the press secretary had a fiery exchange with a reporter who brought up Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s comment that ICE agents “are doing everything correctly.”
The reporter asked Leavitt, given that Renee Good was shot in the head, how ICE agents could be doing “everything correctly.” Leavitt first responded with a question, asking the reporter: “Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?” The reporter answered, “Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably?”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Leavitt responded, “Oh, okay, so you’re a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion. … Do you have the numbers of how many American citizens were killed at the hands of illegal aliens who ICE is trying to remove from this country? I bet you don’t. Shame on you and the people of the media who have a crooked and biased view.”
She then encouraged Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and other Democrats “who are demeaning law enforcement to sit down and have a cup of coffee with an ICE agent or a border patrol agent.”
“These are great, patriotic men and women who have families who put on the uniform every day and are following our nation’s immigration laws at the direction of their bosses, and again at the direction of the law. They are simply trying to enforce the law and the Democrat Party has demeaned these individuals; they have even referred to them as Nazis and as the Gestapo.”
Leavitt said it is that very rhetoric that is “absolutely leading to the violence we are seeing in the streets.”

‘Shame On You’: White House Fed Up With Disrespect Toward Law Enforcement

WASHINGTON—The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good after she blocked federal officers with her car and then drove toward him with her vehicle has the staunch backing of the White House, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Monday.
Leavitt reiterated President Donald Trump&#8217;s position on the incident as she spoke to reporters outside the White House on a frigid Monday afternoon, tearing into protestors for opposing the ICE operations in Minneapolis — operations intended to make their community safer.
&#8220;All weekend long, you had agitators and violent American citizens out in the streets of Minneapolis &#8216;protesting,'&#8221; Leavitt said. &#8220;Protesting what, exactly? Apparently, they are protesting the removal of heinous murderers and rapists and criminals.&#8221;
The White House press secretary praised the ICE agents who continue doing their work despite the backlash from left-wing protestors. She specifically emphasized that the Trump administration has the back of the ICE agent who shot 37-year-old Good, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/renee-good-was-trained-ice-watch-warrior-locals-say">described by her neighbors</a> as a &#8220;warrior&#8221; member of an &#8220;ICE watch&#8221; group.
&#8220;ICE is doing an incredibly important job that&#8217;s not just important to our homeland security, but our national security,&#8221; Leavitt said. &#8220;This administration will continue to stand wholeheartedly by the brave men and women of ICE, including that officer in Minneapolis who was absolutely justified in using self-defense against a lunatic who is part of a group, an organized group, to interject and to impede on law enforcement operations.&#8221;

She added, &#8220;It&#8217;s disgusting what we have seen from the Left, and I think that it just shows you where the modern-day Democrat Party stands today in protecting illegal alien pedophiles and rapists and murderers over law-abiding American citizens and our brave men and women who serve in law enforcement.&#8221;
The ICE agent who is currently under heavy scrutiny <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-ice-agent-who-shot-minneapolis-woman-handled-previous-ramming-by-an-illegal-immigrant-pedophile?author=Jennie+Taer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=4&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=How+ICE+Agent+Who+Shot+Minneapolis+Woman+Handled+Previous+Ramming+By+An+Illegal+Immigrant+Pedophile">was previously dragged</a> over 100 yards down the street as he chased an illegal immigrant who was convicted of “repeatedly sexually abusing his 16-year-old stepdaughter,” the Daily Wire&#8217;s Jennie Taer previously reported. The officer repeatedly tried to de-escalate the situation and gave the suspect the opportunity to comply, court documents show.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/renee-good-was-trained-ice-watch-warrior-locals-say">According to the Department of Homeland Security</a>, there has been a 1,300% increase in assaults on ICE agents, a 3,200% surge in vehicle attacks on ICE agents, and an 8,000% increase in death threats against ICE agents. DHS blames this rise in violence against ICE agents on the “malicious rhetoric of sanctuary politicians.&#8221;
Democrats across the board argue that the ICE agent killed Good without justification. Top voices like Zohran Mamdani outright <a href="https://x.com/NYCMayor/status/2009015792382390463?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2009015792382390463%7Ctwgr%5E4ad0e24c419019b7491c35bf03cd21064f06fc72%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fhow-ice-agent-who-shot-minneapolis-woman-handled-previous-ramming-by-an-illegal-immigrant-pedophile">accused</a> the ICE agent of murdering Good, former presidential candidate Kamala Harris said the &#8220;Trump administration&#8217;s explanation of this shooting is pure gaslighting,&#8221; and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has <a href="https://x.com/MayorFrey/status/2009010043778437322?s=20">repeatedly characterized</a> ICE and their activities as dangerous to the public, telling ICE to &#8220;get the f*ck out of Minneapolis.&#8221;
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were quick to back the agent, citing videos of the incident showing that he shot Good after she drove her car into him.
&#8220;I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota,&#8221; the president said in a post on Wednesday. &#8220;It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense.&#8221;
Trump said at the time that &#8220;the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis.&#8221;
&#8220;They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE,&#8221; he argued. &#8220;We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate!&#8221;
As for Vance, the vice president took the podium at the White House press briefing on Thursday and aggressively defended the administration&#8217;s immigration enforcement, backing the ICE agent and calling on reporters to pray for the man facing so much backlash, arguing that the agent “wishes he was not put in the position where he had to fire a gun to defend his own life.”
&#8220;The way that the media, by and large, has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace,&#8221; he told the White House press, &#8220;and it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day.&#8221;

White House Stands By Embattled ICE Agent, Slams Renee Good As ‘Lunatic’

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that she is expecting a baby girl in May, calling the news “the greatest Christmas gift we could ever ask for.”
“My husband and I are thrilled to grow our family and can’t wait to watch our son become a big brother. My heart is overflowing with gratitude to God for the blessing of motherhood, which I truly believe is the closest thing to heaven on earth.”
Leavitt thanked both the president and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for creating a pro-family work environment. “I am also extremely grateful to President Trump and our Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for their support, and for fostering a pro-family environment in the White House.”

Leavitt has previously praised the White House&#8217;s &#8220;family-friendly environment&#8221; during an interview with The Daily Wire, saying it&#8217;s &#8220;a testament to the president and the chief of staff as well.&#8221;
Other working mothers have also commented on the Trump administration&#8217;s support.
“They are so incredibly understanding about mothers’ schedules, making it home on time for family time,” Joanna Wischer, deputy director of the Made in America office in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and mother to a one-year-old, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/on-being-a-mom-at-the-white-house">told</a> The Daily Wire. “The culture of the Trump administration is to make it so that we get as much done as possible in a reasonable timeframe and then be able to balance life with being able to see our kids, spend time with the family.”
Leavitt has also stressed that her family support system helps her while she serves as a mother and press secretary.
“I’m very blessed with a great support system,” Leavitt told The Daily Wire. “A wonderful husband who is an amazing father to our son, great parents who come to D.C. often to help when we need it. And my faith really keeps me grounded in giving me the strength to do both jobs, very important jobs, at the same time.”
A senior White House official <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/karoline-leavitt-expecting-baby-girl-may-2026-says-motherhood-closest-thing-heaven-earth">reported</a> that Leavitt will continue to serve as President Trump’s press secretary — a role she previously served on the campaign trail while pregnant with her firstborn.
Four days after delivering her son, Leavitt was back to doing media hits. The press secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/on-being-a-mom-at-the-white-house">told</a> The Daily Wire that her original plan when her son was born was to take some time off, as Wiles advised. However, witnessing the shocking assassination attempt on President Trump while holding her newborn son, Leavitt told her husband that it was time to go &#8220;back to work.&#8221;
“I felt compelled to be present in this historic moment. The president literally put his life on the line to win this election. The least I could do is get back to work quickly,” Leavitt stated.
Many conservative influencers have rushed to congratulate Leavitt. &#8220;Going to tell my kids you are Super Woman. Congratulations!&#8221; said Savannah Antao.

Top Trump officials are rallying behind chief of staff Susie Wiles after it was reported that Wiles made unflattering comments about the Trump team in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/susie-wiles-slams-vanity-fair-over-disingenuously-framed-hit-piece?author=Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Susie+Wiles+Unloads+On+Trump+Team%2C+White+House+On+Defense%3F">forthcoming Vanity Fair profile</a>.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, Vice President JD Vance, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Donald Trump Jr., Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and FBI Director Kash Patel are just some of the heavy hitters sticking up for Wiles.
Bondi, whom Wiles allegedly criticized over her handling of the Epstein files, said on Tuesday that Wiles fights for the Trump agenda every day &#8220;with grace, loyalty, and historic effectiveness.&#8221; The AG also suggested the coming profile was a failed &#8220;attempt to divide this administration.&#8221;

VP Vance joked about Wiles allegedly calling him a &#8220;conspiracy theorist&#8221; in the profile, while also heaping praise on Wiles for being authentic and the &#8220;best&#8221; chief of staff for President Donald Trump.
&#8220;Sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but I only believe in the conspiracy theories that are true,&#8221; Vance addressed the alleged comments. &#8220;And, by the way, Susie and I have joked about that in private and in public. For example, I believed in the crazy conspiracy theory back in 2020 that it was stupid to mask three-year-olds at the height of the COVID pandemic. I believed in this crazy conspiracy theory that the media and the government were covering up the fact that Joe Biden was clearly unable to do the job. And I believed in the conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was trying to throw his political opponents in jail rather than win an argument against his political opponents.&#8221;
&#8220;So, at least on some of these conspiracy theories, it turns out that a conspiracy theory is just something that was true six months before the media admitted it,&#8221; Vance joked. &#8220;And that&#8217;s my understanding.&#8221;

Vance then praised Wiles as &#8220;the same exact person&#8221; when she&#8217;s in front of President Trump as she is when he&#8217;s not around, which the VP said is very unlike most people in politics.
&#8220;I have never seen her be disloyal to the president of the United States, and that makes her the best White House chief of staff that I think the president could have asked for,&#8221; he said.

President Trump, too, told the New York Post on Tuesday that he was not offended by Wiles&#8217; remarks.
“No, she meant that I’m — you see, I don’t drink alcohol,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;So everybody knows that — but I’ve often said that if I did, I’d have a very good chance of being an alcoholic. I have said that many times about myself, I do. It’s a very possessive personality.&#8221;
“I’ve said that many times about myself,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I’m fortunate I’m not a drinker. If I did, I could very well, because I’ve said that — what’s the word? Not possessive — possessive and addictive type personality. Oh, I’ve said it many times, many times before.”
Wiles said on Tuesday that the coming profile &#8220;is a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/susie-wiles-slams-vanity-fair-over-disingenuously-framed-hit-piece?author=Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Susie+Wiles+Unloads+On+Trump+Team%2C+White+House+On+Defense%3F">The Daily Wire</a> reported.
&#8220;Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the president was left out of the story,&#8221; she continued.
“I assume, after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the president and our team,” Wiles added. “The truth is the Trump White House has already accomplished more in eleven months than any other president has accomplished in eight years and that is due to the unmatched leadership and vision of President Trump, for whom I have been honored to work for the better part of a decade. None of this will stop our relentless pursuit of Making America Great Again!”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt answered questions on affordability and inflation during a sometimes contentious press briefing on Thursday.
“Every economic metric does in fact show that the economy is getting better and brighter than where it was under the previous administration,” Leavitt noted at the top of the briefing prior to taking questions.
Eric Bolling of Real America’s Voice kicked off the questioning, pointing to declining energy prices.
“Energy prices have been coming down aggressively since Trump’s second term with $55 per barrel and gas prices under $3 for the first time in the past five years,” Bolling began. “Some people in this room want to call this an affordability crisis right now, seeming to want to forget four years prior when we hit 9% inflation. That’s an affordability crisis, but we weren’t calling it that back then. How will President Trump ensure that the legacy media does not flip the script?”
Leavitt responded, calling the media’s coverage of affordability under the Trump administration “a point of frustration” for both herself and the president.
“It’s a great question, Eric,” she said. “It is part of the reason I kicked off this briefing today, setting the record straight with facts about the economic mess that the president inherited from his predecessor Joe Biden.”
Leavitt called affordability a top priority for President Trump, offering several figures to demonstrate her point.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible c-link--underline" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
“Inflation has slowed to an average 2.5% pace; real wages are increasing roughly $1,200 for the average worker; gas prices are down in almost every single state across the country, in 22 states, it&#8217;s below $2.75; the tax cuts will go into effect next year; the best is yet to come, and the president is digging the country out of the economic hole that the previous administration put us in.”
A separate and somewhat heated exchange came during questioning from CNN’s Kaitlin Collins, who asked, “If the economy is as strong as the president has said it is, then why is he telling parents two to three weeks before Christmas that they should only buy two or three dolls for their children?”
Leavitt responded, noting the president’s intention to bring manufacturing back to the United States: “Maybe you’ll pay a dollar or two more, but you will get better quality and you’ll be supporting your fellow Americans by buying American.”
Collins followed up by challenging Leavitt on inflation — but the press secretary pushed back sharply.
“There’s a lot more scrutiny on this issue from this press corps,” responded Leavitt. “My predecessor stood up at this podium and she said inflation doesn’t exist. She said the border was secure, and people like you just took her at her word. Those were two utter lies. Everything I’m telling you is the truth backed by my real, factual data, and you just don’t want to report on it because you want to push untrue narratives about the president.”
Leavitt said she wishes “more people would remind the American public of how we got here and why.”
“It does not mean the president is discarding the American people’s feelings. The president gets it better than anyone, which is why his entire administration has been focused on the economy and energy prices since day one.”
She went on to describe Democrats as “the greatest con artists in history” who are “trying to claim ownership of an issue that they created.”
Reporters also asked three separate questions about the selection of the next Federal Reserve Chair. Leavitt did not reveal when the announcement would be made, but reiterated that President Trump has long called for rate cuts.
“I think the president has been quite clear about what he believes the Fed should be doing, which is lowering interest rates,” said Leavitt. She added that the president was pleased with the quarter point cut this week, but thinks “more should be done.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt upended a legacy media narrative on Monday when she revealed that War Secretary Pete Hegseth had not given the order to execute a second strike on a drug boat, and who, in fact, had given it.
Leavitt dumped cold water on a story — published Saturday by The Washington Post — that quickly became the talk of the Sunday political shows. The story detailed what had happened in the aftermath of the first kinetic strike on narco-terrorists, and alleged that a second strike order was given, on Hegseth&#8217;s authority, to &#8220;kill them all&#8221; when the first hit left two survivors clinging to the wreckage of the boat.

Leavitt was pressed on the story during Monday&#8217;s briefing, when CBS News reporter Gabe Gutierrez asked her to clarify whether the administration was denying that a second strike had taken place or simply denying that Hegseth had given the order for a second strike to be carried out.
&#8220;The latter is true,&#8221; Leavitt declared. &#8220;And I have a statement to read for you here. &#8216;President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have made it clear that presidentially-designated narco-terrorist groups are subject to lethal targeting in accordance with the laws of war.&#8221;
&#8220;With respect to the strikes in question on September 2nd, Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. Admiral Bradley worked well within his authority and the law, directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated,&#8221; Leavitt continued.

The press secretary jabbed at former President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration, adding, &#8220;Under the previous administration, there was enough fentanyl trafficked into our country to kill every American man, woman, and child many times over. That is why you have seen a drastic difference in this administration’s policy with respect to the last. It is one of the many reasons the American public reelected this president and support this Secretary of War in conducting these strikes.&#8221;
Gutierrez asked once more: &#8220;Admiral Bradley was the one that gave an order for a second strike?”
&#8220;And he was well within his authority to do so,&#8221; Leavitt shot back.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt embarrassed the New York Times on Monday after it published a story questioning President Trump’s health and fitness for the job.
A reporter asked, “The White House today launched a fake news portal. What is your objective with that, ultimately, and are you going to name the news networks, and are you also going to name correspondents?”
“Yes, we are,” Leavitt answered. “I’m glad you noticed. Much to the dismay of some of your colleagues in the room, and I think it goes to our original promise on day one to hold the media accountable, because unfortunately, and we deal with this all day, every day around here, there are so many fake stories that are unfortunately written that have inaccurate characterizations of meetings that took place, and it&#8217;s all based on anonymous sourcing.”
“The standard for journalism unfortunately has dropped to such a historic low in this country, and again, we deal with it every day, where you can have an anonymous source who has no idea of what they’re talking about, zero credibility, call up a reporter in Washington and say, ‘Hey, I heard this,’ and the next thing you know, it&#8217;s on the front page of The New York Times,” she continued.
She then took the opportunity to lacerate the Times, saying, “I will point out one fake news story over the weekend before I let you all go, from The New York Times, that took about one-third of the president’s daily calendar and his daily schedule and said that he’s doing less than he did in his first term, or he may not be fit for the job.”

Holding up a copy of the Times article, she asserted, “That is unequivocally false, and it’s deeply unfortunate that the story was written by the same outlet and the same reporter who wrote this: Biden is ‘Doing 100% Fine’ After Tripping While Boarding Air Force One.”
“Oh!” she exclaimed in mock horror. “Same outlet, same reporter who wrote that President Trump is not fit for the job. Are you kidding me? You all see him almost every single day. He is the most accessible president in history. He is taking meetings around the clock.”
“Another one: Biden Declared ‘Healthy’ and ‘Vigorous&#8217; After His First Presidential Physical,” she pointed out, holding up the second article.
“Hmm,” she mused. “I don’t see headlines too often about this president. Again: same reporter, same outlet who wrote falsely over the weekend that President Trump is not fit for the job.”

NYT Humiliated: Leavitt Dismantles Fake News Narrative On Trump’s Health

Health

New York Times

Would you rather have a president who is “frank and open” or “hides behind your back and doesn’t speak to you for weeks.” That was the choice White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt laid out at Thursday’s press briefing when she defended President Trump’s latest clash with the press where he allegedly said “Quiet, piggy” to Bloomberg Reporter Catherine Lucey.
“I think the president being frank, open and honest to your faces rather than hiding behind your backs is frankly a lot more respectful than what you saw from the past administration,” stated Leavitt. “You had a president who lied to your face and didn’t speak to you for weeks. He hid upstairs and didn’t take your questions. I think everyone in this room should appreciate the frankness and the openness that you get from President Trump on a near daily basis.”
Trump’s sharp tongue is well-known and Leavitt didn’t deny it. The president&#8217;s insults have extended even to his closest allies: he’s called current Secretary of State Marco Rubio “Little Marco,” his former press secretary Kayleigh McEnany &#8220;Kayleigh ‘Milktoast’ McEnany,&#8221; and former Vice President Mike Pence “Liddle Mike Pence,” and most recently, he called longtime supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene “Wacky Marjorie” and “Marjorie Traitor Greene.”
Reporters haven’t been spared either. He has dismissed journalists as “fake news,” called Megyn Kelly a “lightweight reporter,” and New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman “Maggot Haberman.”
Leavitt believes the president’s bluntness may be why he holds the nation’s highest office today.
“I think the president&#8217;s frankness is one of the reasons the American people reelected him,” said Leavitt.
“He calls out fake news when he sees it and gets frustrated with reporters when you lie about him and spread fake news about his administration, but he is also the most transparent president in history. He gives all of you unprecedented access. You are in the Oval Office almost every day asking the president questions.”
Trump’s &#8220;piggy&#8221; comment occurred when he was taking questions from reporters aboard Air Force One when Lucey asked, “Mr. President, what did Jeffrey Epstein mean in his email when you said you knew about ‘the girls?’&#8221;
Trump responded, “I know nothing about that. They would have announced that a long time ago. It’s really what did he mean when he spent all that time with Bill Clinton, with the President of Harvard Larry Summers, and all the other people he spent time with. Jeffrey Epstein and I had a very bad relationship for many years, but he also saw [inaudible] that I was president who he dictated a couple of memos to himself, give me a break. You’re going to find out what did he know with respect to Bill Clinton, with respect to the head of Harvard, with respect to all of those people who he knew, including JP Morgan Chase.”
On Wednesday, President Trump signed the bill to release the Epstein files. After he finished answering Lucey’s question, he said, “Yeah, Jennifer, go ahead” signaling to another reporter that it was her turn to ask a question.
Lucey interrupted the president by asking another question that started with, “If there’s nothing incriminating in the files…” Trump cut her off and said, “Quiet, quiet piggy” before turning back to the other reporter and telling her again to “go ahead.”

White House Says Trump ‘Piggy’ Comment Shows His ‘Frankness And Openness’

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt laid out the harm caused by the ‘Democrat Shutdown,’ now the longest shutdown in U.S. history, during her Press Briefing on Wednesday. 
“The Democrats dragged on the government shutdown for 43 days… damage caused by the Democrats by this reckless government shutdown cannot be forgotten,” said Leavitt during her press conference on Wednesday. 
Recently, both the Small Business Optimism Index and the Federal Reserve reported that the shutdown has already negatively impacted the economy. Millions of Americans are employed by the federal government, while millions more work as federal contractors, subcontractors, or for businesses that depend on federal contracts or funding.  
At the most recent Federal Reserve meeting, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the negative economic effects should begin to reverse once the government reopens. 
During Wednesday’s press conference, Leavitt listed some of the economic consequences of the shutdown.
“Hundreds of thousands of federal employees have missed their paychecks, tens of billions in wages and benefits were withheld impacting vulnerable families, millions of low-income American families missed their SNAP benefits, nearly 20,000 flights at airports across the country were delayed due to staffing shortages causing Americans to miss family events, vacations, and work obligations.” 
She noted Airlines for America estimates flight disruptions already have or will impact 5.2 million travelers. 
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that cuts to fourth-quarter GDP growth could be as large as 2%, potentially delivering a negative blow to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s plan to keep the federal deficit at 3% of GDP in his “3-3-3” plan. 
CBO says, “Most of the decline in real GDP will be recovered eventually, but estimates between $7 billion and $14 billion will not be.” 
Leavitt said that she believes the deal will hold and that the government shutdown will come to an end tonight.  
She blamed Democrats for the entire government shutdown. “Just look at the vote count,” Leavitt urged. “The clean CR that will lead to the reopening of the federal government is what President Trump and Republicans have supported from day one.”
Before wrapping up her remarks and opening the room to questions, Leavitt touted President Trump’s efforts to address affordability in America. 
The Press Secretary discussed “the largest middle class tax cuts,” which include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security. She explained that the tax cuts will guarantee that “next year Americans will put more money into their pockets.” Leavitt then compared inflation rates during Trump’s administration with those of the Biden Administration. Notably, inflation rates under Biden were higher, with the administration averaging rates at <a href="https://www.bls.gov/regions/mid-atlantic/data/consumerpriceindexhistorical_us_table.htm">5%</a>. So far, the Trump administration is seeing averages of about <a href="https://www.bls.gov/regions/mid-atlantic/data/consumerpriceindexhistorical_us_table.htm">2.5%</a>. 
Leavitt says a big part of Trump’s ability to reduce inflation has been to unleash American energy dominance. She says, “Gasoline prices are at their lowest levels in five years, and we expect them to continue to decrease.” 
Along with lower gas prices, she noted the President is working around the clock to lower drug prices by negotiating deals with large pharmaceutical companies at home and abroad. Leavitt said she expects small businesses will save thousands of dollars in regulatory burdens as the Trump Administration “cuts thirty unnecessary regulations for every new one on the books.” 
Leavitt concluded by emphasizing that affordability remains at the top of President Trump’s agenda and criticized Democrats for what she called hypocrisy on the issue: “The notion that the same Democrats who shut down the federal government, sabotaged our economy, robbed people of their paychecks and helped Joe Biden ratchet up inflation to 9% are now suddenly affordability champions is completely absurd.”
