What went wrong at Caroline Leavitt's press conference?
Donald Trump's chief propagandist, Caroline Leavitt, just gave a disastrous press conference at the White House. She was unprepared, she was sloppy, and she was promoting Donald Trump's fascist agenda while being both sloppy and unprepared. Here she was asked a question about Donald Trump claiming to void all of former President Biden's pardons, including pardoning people who were part of the January 6th committee because according to Donald Trump, former President Biden used an auto pen and did not give consent to any of the pardons himself. Listen to how Caroline Levitt responds, let's play it.
If the president was even consulted about his legally binding signature being signed onto documents. And so I think it's a question that everybody in this room should be looking into because certainly that would propose, perhaps criminal or illegal behavior if staff members were signing the President of the United States autograph without his consent.
The President is on the record talking about issuing preemptive pardons to these people.
But was he aware of his signature being used on every single pardon? That's a question you should ask the Biden White House.
Is there any evidence on that, that he wasn't aware?
You're a reporter, you should find out, Sean.
Arrogant and totally unprepared there, and what a unhinged conspiracy, but a conspiracy that is typical of Donald Trump. Next up, Caroline Levitt, Donald Trump's chief propagandist, has asked about the United States withdrawing from the International Center for the Prosecution of Crime Against Ukraine, which investigates Russia's crimes against humanity. including raping and murdering and kidnapping Ukrainians. The United States was the biggest supporter of this international center. It's now being widely reported that the Trump regime to help Putin is pulling the United States out of that international center support. Here's what Caroline Levitt said. Let's play it.
Sure. Thanks. There have been some media reports just in the last few hours that the administration has decided to withdraw from the International Center for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression Against Ukraine, which is designed to hold Putin accountable for war crimes. Are you able to confirm that? And if that has occurred, why has that occurred?
I'm not able to confirm it because I have not heard that. I will caution. I know there have been many inaccurate and misleading reports from Reuters lately, so I would caution anybody taking that seriously. But I can check in and get back to you.
Again, unprepared, sloppy, and very, very dangerous. Here, Caroline Levitt is asked, what criteria is the Trump regime using when it invokes the Alien Enemies Act to take so-called gang members who are Venezuelan and send them to concentration camps in El Salvador and then make these brutal ISIS-style videos where they are treating these human beings like trash? What's the standard? How do you know that they're actually gang members if you're not giving people due process rights? And here's what she says. Let's play the clip.
What criteria, other than, say, tattoos or maybe being in the wrong place at the wrong time, are they using to determine that someone is actually a member of one of these organizations?
Intelligence and the men and women on the ground in the interior of our country who are finally being allowed to do their jobs. Their hands were tied under the previous administration. And as I said, they take their jobs very seriously. They should be trusted and respected by the American public with this operation. And of course, as I said to Kelly, the administration will provide all details to the questions that the court poses. Jennifer.
That's her response, just intelligence, just trust us. Just trust Donald Trump when he says someone's a gang member, that they're a gang member. It's not like Donald Trump doesn't lie about everything. And by the way, those videos that they're making of treating human beings like absolute trash. I mean, to me, as I said, they're like ISIS style videos. And I wanna be very clear about my position.
