Leavitt Shuts Down Liberal Media’s Desperate Distraction Narrative [Video]

In a fiery exchange with a leftist reporter, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismantled the absurd suggestion that President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard and Marine troops to California as a distraction from his recent feud with Elon Musk. The reporter, parroting the liberal media’s latest conspiracy theory, insinuated that the President’s decisive action against violent riots in Los Angeles was nothing more than a political ploy. Leavitt didn’t hold back, exposing the dishonesty of such a claim and reaffirming Trump’s unwavering commitment to law and order.

“That’s an incredibly disingenuous attack,” Leavitt fired back. “The President saw images of border patrol and ICE agents being hailed with rocks and Molotov cocktails. He saw vehicles being burned to the ground with illegal aliens flying foreign flags, and that’s what prompted the President to have this response.”

The riots, sparked by left-wing insurrectionists and illegal aliens resisting ICE enforcement operations, had spiraled into chaos, with law enforcement officers under siege and American cities burning. Yet, instead of acknowledging the severity of the crisis, the liberal media chose to spin a false narrative, desperately trying to shift blame onto President Trump. Leavitt rightly called out their hypocrisy, pointing out that California’s Democrat leadership—Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass—had failed miserably to maintain order.

“We haven’t seen action. California has been a mess for years because of the incompetence of Gavin Newsom. So, the President was responding to that only,” Leavitt declared.

The notion that Trump, a leader who has consistently prioritized national security and public safety, would exploit a crisis to deflect from a personal feud is not only ludicrous but reveals the media’s obsession with manufacturing drama instead of reporting facts. While Elon Musk’s outburst last week may have dominated headlines, the President’s focus remained squarely on protecting American citizens from the violent mobs and unchecked illegal immigration that Democrats have enabled for years.

Leavitt’s sharp rebuttal highlighted the stark contrast between Trump’s decisive leadership and the left’s failure to govern. While Newsom delivered yet another empty speech—likely more concerned with his presidential aspirations than solving California’s crises—Trump took action. The deployment of U.S. troops successfully quelled the violence, proving once again that strong leadership, not hollow rhetoric, is what America needs.

WATCH THE EXPLOSIVE EXCHANGE:

Reporter: “There is criticism that seems to suggest that the President responded the way he did because it was a deliberate, calculated attempt to sort of shift focus away from his feud with Musk. How would you respond to that?”

Leavitt: “The President responded to the LA riots, condemning the violence— That’s an incredibly disingenuous attack. The President saw images of border patrol and ICE agents being hailed with rocks and Molotov cocktails. He saw vehicles being burned to the ground with illegal aliens flying foreign flags, and that’s what prompted the President to have this response that has clearly worked because last night in Los Angeles, you didn’t see many of those images. And I would add the governor and the mayor need to actually do more. I know Gavin Newsom had a big address to the nation last night. I guess he thought that’s what it was for maybe his future political ambitions, but he spoke a lot of words. We haven’t seen action. California has been a mess for years because of the incompetence of Gavin Newsom. So, the President was responding to that only.”

The liberal media’s relentless attempts to undermine Trump’s accomplishments only further expose their bias. Instead of applauding the restoration of order, they resort to baseless speculation, revealing their true agenda: to attack the President at all costs, even if it means ignoring the chaos caused by their own party.
