White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a blistering takedown of a biased reporter who insinuated that President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard and Marines to California merely to distract from his highly publicized feud with billionaire Elon Musk. The ludicrous suggestion, typical of the liberal media’s relentless attempts to undermine the President, was swiftly dismantled by Leavitt, who reaffirmed that Trump’s decisive action was solely in response to the violent riots orchestrated by left-wing insurgents and illegal aliens in Los Angeles.
Last week, chaos erupted in California as far-left agitators and foreign invaders—emboldened by the weak leadership of Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass—attacked law enforcement with Molotov cocktails, burned vehicles, and waved foreign flags in open defiance of American sovereignty. President Trump, recognizing the dire threat to public safety and national security, acted swiftly by federalizing the California National Guard and deploying 700 Marines to restore order. Meanwhile, the media, rather than applauding this necessary intervention, concocted a baseless conspiracy that Trump was merely trying to shift attention away from his dispute with Musk—a feud that had already subsided by the time troops were mobilized.
Leavitt didn’t hold back in her response, calling out the reporter’s narrative as “incredibly disingenuous.” She emphasized that Trump’s decision was based on the alarming visuals of Border Patrol and ICE agents under assault, not some manufactured political distraction. “The President saw images of border patrol and ICE agents being hailed with rocks and Molotov cocktails. He saw vehicles being burned to the ground with illegal aliens flying foreign flags, and that’s what prompted the President to have this response,” she stated. The results speak for themselves—the riots were quelled, and Los Angeles saw a night of relative calm following the deployment.
Leavitt also took aim at Newsom’s incompetence, noting that California’s descent into lawlessness was years in the making due to failed Democratic policies. “We haven’t seen action. California has been a mess for years because of the incompetence of Gavin Newsom. So, the President was responding to that only,” she declared. Rather than taking responsibility, Newsom delivered a hollow speech, likely more concerned with his presidential aspirations than the safety of Californians.
The liberal media’s obsession with framing Trump’s every move as politically motivated reveals their desperation. While they peddle conspiracy theories, the President is focused on protecting Americans from violent unrest and securing the border—something Newsom and Bass have repeatedly failed to do.
WATCH:
Reporter: “On just everything sort of we’ve seen so far with the President’s response to the LA protests. There is criticism that seems to suggest that the President responded the way he did because it was a deliberate, calculated attempt to sort of shift focus away from his feud with Musk. How would you respond to that?”
Leavitt: “The President responded to the LA riots, condemning the violence— That’s an incredibly disingenuous attack. The President saw images of border patrol and ICE agents being hailed with rocks and Molotov cocktails. He saw vehicles being burned to the ground with illegal aliens flying foreign flags, and that’s what prompted the President to have this response that has clearly worked because last night in Los Angeles, you didn’t see many of those images. And I would add the governor and the mayor need to actually do more. I know Gavin Newsom had a big address to the nation last night. I guess he thought that’s what it was for maybe his future political ambitions, but he spoke a lot of words. We haven’t seen action. California has been a mess for years because of the incompetence of Gavin Newsom. So, the President was responding to that only.”
It makes one wonder where these reporters got their education. One thing is for sure , Journalism was never taught in any of their classes!!!!! It is obvious by their performance!!!!
