What led to the White House press conference's disastrous reception?
The White House just held a disastrous press conference following Donald Trump making social media posts, seeming to say that he was trying to reach some agreement with Governor Walz in Minnesota. And then Governor Walz posted on his social media that he had productive calls with Donald Trump about removing some of the ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo from Minnesota. But then Caroline Leavitt held this disastrous press conference, and I'll just show you what went down. Caroline Leavitt started attacking the Democratic leader. She goes, the Democrat leaders of Minnesota, like Governor Walz and Mayor Frye, they are the reason that Renee Nicole Goode and Alex Pretty were murdered here. Just listen here.
Play this clip.
Yet Democrat leaders in Minnesota with sanctuary city policies have actively defied federal immigration law and the will of the people. And as a result of that defiance, two Minnesotans have now tragically lost their lives on the streets of Tim Walz's state.
Then Caroline Leavitt said, at the end of the day, while nobody at the White House wants to see people getting murdered, this tragedy occurred because of the hostile resistance of Democratic leaders, she said. Here, play this clip.
How did Governor Walz respond to Trump's social media posts?
But let's be clear about the circumstances which led to that moment on Saturday. This tragedy occurred as a result of a deliberate and hostile resistance by Democrat leaders in Minnesota. For weeks, Governor Walz and the Mayor Jacob Fry and other elected Democrats were spreading lies about federal law enforcement officers who are risking their lives daily to remove the worst criminal illegal aliens from our streets. Murderers, rapists, pedophiles, human traffickers, and gang members.
In other words, the White House is ratcheting things up and continuing to defame Alex Preti, Renee Nicole Goode, the others who they've murdered and sent to concentration camps. More from Caroline Leavitt right here, saying that she has confidence in Kristi Noem. Let's play this clip. uh to your first question the answer is yes he still has confidence and trust in secretary noam to the second question i would point then caroline levitt says that if you're a gun owner you know that if you go to a protest with your gun and you're confronted by law enforcement you're going to raise the assumption of risk that you should be killed Well, that's what you think of the Second Amendment. Let's be very clear.
What accusations did Caroline Leavitt make against Democratic leaders?
Alex Jeffrey Preti had a legal permit to conceal carry. Frankly, I've never heard any politicians talk about how much they hate the Second Amendment the way we've heard from Donald Trump and these phony MAGA Republicans who have pretend that they care about the Second Amendment all of these years. Just another MAGA farce just to prop up an authoritarian. Here, play this clip.
FBI Director Kash Patel said in a Sunday interview, quote, you cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest. Does the president believe the Second Amendment rights remain in effect even when protesting?
The president supports the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding American citizens, absolutely. There has been no greater supporter or defender of the right to bear arms than President Donald J. Trump. So while Americans have a constitutional right to bear arms, Americans do not have a constitutional right to impede lawful immigration enforcement operations. And any gun owner knows that when you are carrying a weapon, when you are bearing arms and you are confronted by law enforcement, you are raising the assumption of risk and the risk of force being used against you. And again, that's unfortunately what took place on Saturday.
Then a reporter asked Caroline Levitt, you know, Donald Trump posted that this was a cover-up and a fraud taking place in Minneapolis. What's the cover-up? What does that mean, Caroline? And here's what she says. Play this clip. I'll take a couple more. Go ahead. So this weekend the president posted that this is a cover-up of the fraud in the state of Minnesota.
