Minnesota Governor Tim Walz called out White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt after she claimed during a Fox News interview that the Democratic Party's voters are mainly comprised of "Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."

Leavitt appeared on the network to discuss the White House’s reaction to New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s refusal to say whether Hamas should lay down its weapons.


She used this as an opportunity to share hateful rhetoric asserting that Democrats represent a party of terrorism and violence, saying:

"The Democrat Party's main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."
"That is who the Democrat Party is catering to, not the White House and not the Trump administration and not the Republican Party, who is standing up for law-abiding Americans, not just across the country but around the world.”

You can hear what she said in the video below.

Her comments soon caught Walz's attention—and he took to social media to share this important reminder while shutting down Leavitt's remarks:

"Most Republicans are good people. Most Democrats are good people. The White House says outrageous things to make you hate your neighbor."
"Your neighbor isn’t the problem. The White House is."

You can see his post below.

Others also condemned Leavitt's remarks.



Separately, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stood up for his party and criticized Leavitt, calling her “sick” and “out of control.”

Jeffries said he is "not sure whether she’s just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above," saying Leavitt's remarks "make no sense that this is what the American people are getting from the Trump administration in the middle of a shutdown.”

Leavitt has not responded to these criticisms and some Democrats, including Representative Greg Casar of Texas, have called on her to resign. Casar said Leavitt's comments only serve "to distract from the fact that they’re robbing us all blind.”

The 'La La Land' Poster Was Just Officially Edited To Fix Ryan Gosling's Bent Hand—And Fans Have Thoughts

If you've spent the last decade unable to unsee Ryan Gosling's oddly bent hand on the La La Land poster, you're not alone. The visual quirk became an enduring talking point among fans. And now, for the film's 10-year anniversary, it's officially been fixed.

The poster for the iconic 2016 musical has been subtly adjusted ahead of its theatrical re-release on August 16 to celebrate its 10th anniversary. While the original artwork shows Gosling's character, Sebastian, with his hand tilted downward in the famous dance pose, the updated version straightens it to mirror Emma Stone's Mia.

The House GOP Just Shared A Tone-Deaf Tweet About 'Communist Regimes'—And It's Irony At Its Finest

Not getting the traction they need off their usual fearmongering, the GOP recently changed things up—in cooperation with the White House—from attacking immigrants to reviving the 1950s era "red scare," coming 70 years after the original led by Wisconsin Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy.

The change in tactics hinges on voters not knowing the difference between communism and democratic socialism.

MAGA Rep. Dragged After Making Bonkers Olive Garden Comparison In Push For Voter ID

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise was criticized after he, touting the "SAVE America Act," made an oddball comparison using Olive Garden to complain about the lack of voter ID laws.

The Trump administration has pushed to eliminate no-excuse mail voting as a central goal of the "SAVE America Act," a sweeping federal elections bill that, among other things, complicates voting for individuals whose legal name does not match their birth certificate and poses a restrictive photo ID requirement for voting that disproportionately impacts minorities.

Gavin Newsom Furiously Calls BS On Trump Admin's Reason For Freezing Over $1 Billion In Medicaid Funds For California And Minnesota

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the Trump administration following its announcement that it's withholding more $867 million in Medicaid funds earmarked for California and $199 million for Minnesota due to fraud allegations.

The Trump administration said the money will remain frozen until the states submit documentation proving the payments are legitimate and free of fraud. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the funds would only be released once both states provide the requested records.
