House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sharply criticized White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Friday, calling her "sick" and "out of control" after she described Democrats as being aligned with "terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."
"You've got Karoline Leavitt, who's sick. She's out of control," Jeffries told reporters while speaking to reporters in Capitol Hill on the 17th day of the government shutdown. "And I'm not sure whether she's just demented, ignorant, a stone-cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official White House spokesperson would say that the Democratic Party consists of terrorists, violent criminals, and undocumented immigrants makes no sense."
