‘Uh-Huh': Karoline Leavitt Stuns Critics On Social Media With Trump ‘Hatred' Claim
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt faced accusations of hypocrisy on Thursday after declaring that 'hatred has no place in the United States of America under President Donald Trump.' Leavitt's assertion ― during a press briefing in which she addressed the fatal shooting of two Israeli Embassy workers in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday ― prompted critics to point out Trump's yearslong history of incendiary rhetoric. In the last week alone, Trump has used his Truth Social platform to whip up anger against federal judges, attack rock star Bruce Springsteen (including with a spoof video in which the president appears to strike the musician with a golf ball) and slam Beyonce, U2 frontman Bono and TV legend Oprah Winfrey. Trump has also flipped out at a reporter. Many critics, therefore, suggested Leavitt pass her comment on to the president. Others recalled Trump's online post in which he literally expressed his hatred for another pop star when he declared, 'I hate Taylor Swift.' Uh-huh — Molly Ploofkins (@Mollyploofkins) May 22, 2025 Are Trump and MAGA aware of that? — 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐢 (@ChidiNwatu) May 22, 2025 The entire MAGA movement is based on hatred. — Matt (Taylor's Version) (@MattMMPLS) May 22, 2025 Hatred is the central theme. So basically Leavitt is living in permanent Opposite Day. — gotochelle 🇺🇸 (@gotochelle) May 23, 2025 Trump reignited the flames of hatred in the United States. One only needs to recall his infamous remark—'very fine people on both sides'—to understand how deeply he normalized division. His entire political strategy is rooted in vilifying one side while exalting his own. He… — Dr G (@eg1701) May 23, 2025 Also in the briefing, Leavitt was pressed on whether the guest list to a dinner that Trump was hosting for people who bought his Trump-themed crypto coins would be made public. 'The president is attending it in his personal time,' Leavitt said. 'It is not a White House dinner, it's not taking place here at the White House. But certainly I can raise that question and try to get you an answer for it.' Reporter: You guys are very proud of your record on transparency… on the president's dinner tonight will the white house commit to making a list of the attendees public so people can see who is paying for that access? Leavitt: The president is attending it in his personal… — Acyn (@Acyn) May 22, 2025 Critics questioned the notion of 'personal time' for a sitting president, and more: President's don't get "personal time." There's not like a magic suit you wear when you are doing official business and one where you are just Donald from Queens. — Tim Miller (@Timodc) May 22, 2025 He's the 'President' of the United States. He doesn't punch a time card and magically stop having that he's meeting with Kim Jong Un or Kanye f'ng West, the American people have a right to know. — Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) May 22, 2025 It's his personal time, so we can't know anything about it. — Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) May 22, 2025 I didn't realize the president could turn off being president like a light switch. — Brian Tyler Cohen (@briantylercohen) May 22, 2025 Finally someone asked the question. And got the most ridiculous answer. We need these names. — John Jackson (@hissgoescobra) May 22, 2025 'Beyond Disgraceful': Kristi Noem's Gloat Over Dismissed Migrants Lawsuit Sparks Outrage 'Mark My Words': Kimmel Hilariously Predicts Exactly Why And When Trump Will Dump RFK Jr. AOC Warns GOP Over Trump Bill: 'When This Country Wakes Up … There Will Be Consequences'
