Karoline Leavitt issued a fiery rebuke to a French politician calling for the Statue of Liberty to be returned, with the White House press secretary stating his country should be very grateful to the U.S. that its “not speaking German right now.”
Raphaël Glucksmann, a member of the European Parliament and France’s center-left Place Publique party, called for the New York Harbor-based landmark to be brought “home” claiming that the U.S. no longer represents the values embodied by Lady Liberty after siding with “tyrants.”
