White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt angrily blasted pro-Palestinian protesters who hacked into the communications systems at several airport terminals this week to broadcast profane messages about her boss and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Leavitt was appearing on Fox News just after the lunch hour as the Senate once again failed to break an impasse over reopening the government on Day 16 of the shutdown and restoring funding to government agencies, allowing federal workers to be paid. Democrats are demanding that Republicans vote to renew federal health care subsidies in order to secure their votes for passage of a continuing resolution through the upper chamber of Congress.
