In her first full White House briefing since the riots in Los Angeles began, Karoline Leavitt wasted no time setting the record straight.
It was a statement.
What’s happening in LA isn’t a peaceful protest. It’s a violent uprising.
And the Trump administration, she made clear, has no intention of watching the country burn while the Democrats and the media spin fairy tales.
“President Trump promised to carry out the largest mass deportation campaign in American history,” Leavitt said.
“And left-wing riots will not deter him in that effort.”
Since June 6, over 330 illegal aliens have been arrested during the unrest—113 of them had prior convictions.
Leavitt listed off the heinous crimes of those that have been arrested.
One now faces attempted murder charges for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at police.
These are not harmless demonstrations. They are organized, coordinated, and dangerous.
“Law-abiding American citizens do not want these public safety threats living in their communities,” she said, “no matter what Democrats like Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom may claim.”
And despite the rising attacks on ICE and Border Patrol, Leavitt confirmed the mission will press forward.
“This administration is going to continue the mass deportation effort that the President promised the American public.”
Her message to violent agitators was unflinching:
“Any lawlessness will only strengthen this President’s resolve to defend the majority of Americans.”
If you’ve noticed: Democrats aren’t talking about egg prices anymore.
They aren’t talking about inflation anymore.
They aren’t talking about tariffs anymore.
They aren’t talking about the stock market anymore.
They aren’t talking about the border anymore.
So now they’re planning demonstrations to fight “authoritarianism.”
Why? Because TRUMP solved every single one of these issues in 5 months.
They’ve run out of ammunition.
JUST IN: Rep. Maxine Waters says Americans shouldn’t rely on their own eyes, says there was no violence at the Los Angeles riots.
Waters says you should trust her and not all the videos you saw online.
“There was no violence. I was on the street. I know … Get it straight. Don't just rely on what you're being told or the few incidents that you saw.”
This man support the LA protest; keep going, burn your own backyard if you must. Why? You’re the right’s best unpaid campaign ad. Throwing tantrums, screaming “death to America” in a country that gave you freedom to do it. Flying foreign flags while trashing the nation that grants your rights isn’t pride, it’s stupidity. Every time y'all riot, loot, tear things up, you're just birthing another red voter.
After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID.
The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States.
In consultation with Congress, we intend for the remaining 18% of programs we are keeping (approximately 1000) to now be administered more effectively under the State Department.
Thank you to DOGE and our hardworking staff who worked very long hours to achieve this overdue and historic reform.
An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla “protests”: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America.
ActBlue funders include George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix.
ActBlue is currently under investigation for allowing foreign and illegal donations in criminal violation of campaign finance regulations. This week, 7 ActBlue senior officials resigned, including the associate general counsel.
If you know anything about this, please post in replies. Thanks, Elon.
