**Karoline Leavitt Responds to Hakeem Jeffries After Criticism of the Democratic Party**
Karoline Leavitt didn’t hold back in her response to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who attacked her for describing the Democratic Party in an unflattering but, in her view, truthful manner.
Leavitt stated, “Hakeem Jeffries is simply lashing out because he knows that I am telling the truth about the modern day Democrat Party. What I said, and it is a fact, is that the Democrat Party caters more to pro-Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals.”
She continued, “That’s why they overwhelmingly LOST the election to President Trump and the Republican Party. And that’s why they’re holding this country hostage right now from law-abiding, tax-paying American citizens who want the government to be open.”
Leavitt urged Jeffries to focus on his congressional duties instead of attacking her and President Trump. “Hakeem Jeffries should stop calling me names. He should stop trying to fight my boss, President Trump. And he should go back to doing what he was elected to do—the business of the American people in Congress—and encourage Senate Democrats to open the government.”
Addressing Jeffries’ comments about House Republicans, she added, “I see Hakeem Jeffries saying, ‘House Republicans are out! They’re not even here!’ Yeah, because they DID their jobs! They passed a clean continuing resolution at the behest of President Trump to keep the government open. And now Senate Democrats and Chuck Schumer are blocking that to fight Donald Trump. And it’s despicable.”

### Hakeem Jeffries Strikes Back
Jeffries responded harshly to Leavitt’s statements, calling her “sick,” “demented,” “ignorant,” “a stone cold liar,” and “out of control.”
He also referenced recent incidents involving a swastika planted in a congressman’s office and a group of young Republicans who made offensive jokes, including using the “n” word and remarks against Jewish people. These individuals were promptly expelled from the Young Republicans amidst cancel culture backlash.

### The Broader Debate
Leavitt’s remarks have touched a nerve by highlighting contentious issues. Democrats are often accused by their opponents of supporting policies that protect criminal aliens, backing Hamas, opposing strong law enforcement, and advocating to defund the police. Critics argue that such positions contribute to the failing of public safety and national security.
Republicans like Leavitt argue these stances are not only misguided but detrimental to American citizens. From their perspective, they question how her characterization of the Democratic Party could be considered wrong when viewed through these issues.
