Don’t mess with Karoline.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has issued a statement in response to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ attacks on her this week.
Jeffries called Leavitt “sick” and “out of control” on Friday morning.
“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, ignorant, a stone-cold liar or all of the above.”
🚨 JUST IN: Hakeem Jeffries calls Karoline Leavitt "sick, she's out of control…demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above."
Every single one of those words apply to Hakeem, not Karoline.

“Hakeem and Democrats are lashing out because they know what I said is true,” Leavitt told Fox News Digital. “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,” she continued. “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.”
Leavitt blasted Jeffries directly while criticizing Democrats for keeping the government shut.
“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,” Leavitt said.
She also posted the statement on X.
