Donald Trump’s Death Threat Comment Gets Worse When Karoline Leavitt Avoids Tough Question

In a tumultuous press briefing on Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to defend President Donald Trump amidst fierce scrutiny regarding his calls for the execution of six Democratic lawmakers. This dramatic exchange commenced around 22 minutes into the conference when CBS News Chief Correspondent Nancy Cordes directly asked, “Does the president want to execute members of Congress?”Leavitt asserted that Trump did not advocate for executions, instead emphasizing an alleged conspiracy among these lawmakers to encourage military insubordination. She described their actions as endangering the chain of command, which she deemed critical for military integrity and order.As the questioning intensified, particularly about Trump’s rhetoric, Leavitt deflected, insisting the focus should be on congressional actions she claimed incited violence. However, her statements drew criticism for misrepresenting the lawmakers' positions regarding illegal orders. Amid continued provoke from reporters, Leavitt ultimately exited the briefing, leaving social media abuzz with reactions to her contentious remarks.
