Press Sec. Humiliated After Clueless Attack on France Backfires - Rebel HQ



White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt sparked an international backlash after dismissing French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann’s call to return the Statue of Liberty. Leavitt mocked him as a “low-level” politician and claimed France should be grateful for U.S. intervention in World War II—only for history-savvy critics to clap back with a brutal fact-check. Even X/Twitter’s “Community Notes” had to step in, reminding Leavitt that without France, the U.S. might not exist at all.

And knows little to be my press secretary. I love blonds, the evangelical nut jobs love the cross for some reason. And for Christs sake make sure she doesn’t know a damn thing about what we’re doing. And pat her on the butt after each press conference if she lies and confuses. Okay, that should do it for this meeting of the forward conservative values coalition.

Result: we won the Revolutionary War and our independence.

My problem with the devout Christian lady is not her ignorance of history, but her propensity for lying. She is giving Christianity a bad name.

Her outward face is starting to resemble her portrait in the attic.

Guess that Dorian Gray thing doesn’t work every time.

Maybe when she sold her soul, it was a Trump contract.
