Karoline Leavitt Forced Into Rapid Damage Control After Trump’s Messy Posts Push His Impeachment Story

President Donald Trump created a political uproar on Monday morning when he mistakenly amplified a post advocating for his impeachment—an incident critics claimed suggested a mental lapse. Shortly after, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared before journalists, struggling to manage the fallout.This embarrassing mistake coincided with Trump’s verbal assault on six Democratic lawmakers, who released a video scrutinizing his leadership. He labeled them “traitors,” accusing them of “sedition” and “treason,” while bizarrely reposting calls for their execution, which sparked bipartisan condemnation.Trump inadvertently enhanced the message he intended to deride by sharing a screenshot from an anti-Trump account featuring Senator Mark Kelly urging military members to refuse illegal orders. In the escalating conflict, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth initiated a Pentagon investigation into Kelly for alleged misconduct, although Kelly, a retired captain, remains protected under military law. Leavitt defended Trump’s actions, claiming they were to support military order, while many on social media disputed this narrative, defending Kelly’s right to speak freely.
