Ex-GOP Official Calls Out Karoline Leavitt: 'Critical Thinking Has Died'
HuffPost
The White House press secretary argued Wednesday that a federal judge who has frequently ruled in favor of Trump is "a Democrat activist."
Former Rep. David Jolly (R-Fla.) says critical thinking has left the United States, pointing squarely at White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who argued Wednesday that a federal judge first appointed by former President George W. Bush is “a Democrat activist.”
Her comment came after U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg verbally ordered President Donald Trump’s administration to turn around planes deporting hundreds of Venezuelan migrants Saturday to a brutal prison in El Salvador under the Aliens Enemies Act of 1798.
The completed deportations have since prompted an ongoing clash between the Justice Department and Boasberg, with Leavitt arguing Wednesday that the legal system is biased — because Trump received more injunctions than any other president this century.
Jolly veritably torched the press secretary during an appearance Wednesday on MSNBC.
“I think critical thinking has largely died in the United States of America and Karoline Leavitt is probably a perfect example of that,” said Jolly. “And so what? What if he is an activist? Karoline’s an activist, as well. Most of the people in the Trump administration are activists.”
