Karoline Leavitt Fires Back at ‘Stone-Cold Loser’ Hakeem Jeffries After His Vicious Personal Attack

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt didn’t hold back Friday after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries launched a personal assault against her, calling her “demented” and “ignorant.”

Earlier that day, Jeffries accused Republicans of being Nazi sympathizers and anti-Semitic. Then, in a tirade that quickly went viral, he singled out Leavitt by name:

“And then you got Karoline Leavitt, who’s sick. She’s out of control. And I’m not sure whether she’s just demented, ignorant, a stone-cold liar, or all of the above,” Jeffries ranted.

He continued by attacking the Trump administration, saying,

“The notion that an official White House spokesperson would say that the Democratic Party consists of terrorists, violent criminals, and undocumented immigrants — this makes no sense, but this is what the American people are getting from the Trump administration in the middle of a shutdown.”

Leavitt’s Response: “They’re Lashing Out Because It’s True”

Leavitt, speaking to Fox News, fired back without hesitation.

“Hakeem and Democrats are lashing out because they know what I said is true,” she said.

“The Democrat Party’s elected officials absolutely cater to pro-Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals,” Leavitt continued. “House Democrats voted against a resolution condemning Hamas following the horrific Oct. 7 terrorist attacks, and Democrats cheered on pro-Hamas radicals while they hijacked America’s college campuses and harassed Jewish students.”

She went on to highlight the Biden-era border collapse and crime wave that President Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to fix:

“Democrats opened our borders and allowed tens of millions of illegal aliens into our country over the past four years, including rapists and murderers, because they view them as future voters,” Leavitt said.

The press secretary noted that left-wing “soft-on-crime” policies — such as no-cash bail — have made American cities more dangerous than ever.

“Democrats do not serve the interests of the American people,” Leavitt concluded. “Hakeem Jeffries is an America Last, stone-cold loser. Now open up the government and stop simping to try to get your radical left-wing base to like you.”

Democrats Stall Shutdown Resolution Over Left-Wing Demands

Jeffries’ tantrum came as Democrats once again blocked efforts to reopen the government — voting Thursday for the 10th straight time to prolong the Schumer Shutdown, now stretching into its 17th day.

Among their demands: extending enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies set to expire at year’s end, and expanding Medicaid eligibility in their so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” — changes that would allow illegal immigrants to receive taxpayer-funded health benefits.

Republicans warn the total cost of providing health care to illegal aliens would exceed $200 billion.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune offered Democrats a stand-alone vote to extend ACA subsidies — an offer they have so far refused.

“I’m not sure how much clearer I can be,” Thune said on social media. “I am willing to sit down with Democrats to discuss the growing unaffordability and unsustainability of Obamacare. It’s a system they created, but I’m happy to hear them out. Heck, I’m even willing to give them a vote. Today. Tomorrow. Next week. You name it. But there’s one condition: End the Schumer Shutdown. I will not negotiate under hostage conditions, nor will I pay a ransom. Period.”
