White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has fired back at her predecessor, Karine Jean-Pierre, after she called a recent comment from Leavitt "deplorable," labeling it part of the biggest cover-up and scandal in American history. Leavitt made this statement on "Jesse Watters Primetime." Jean-Pierre is promoting her new book, "Independent," which includes discussions about her break from the Democratic Party and her tenure with the Biden administration.
During an appearance on ABC's "The View," a clip of Leavitt was played in which she stated that Democrats' main constituency consists of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals. This statement prompted Jean-Pierre to express her outrage, stating that it is deplorable and claiming that the comments do not reflect the views of the American people.
In response, Leavitt unleashed a barrage of criticism on her former colleague, calling her one of the main culprits behind the cover-up scandal and accusing her of lying to the press about the incompetence of President Biden. She also accused Jean-Pierre of "gaslighting" the American public, suggesting that the claims made by the Biden administration are false.
Leavitt took aim at Jean-Pierre's claim that former President Biden still had a chance of being re-elected and disputed her statement that he addressed the media more frequently than former President Trump. The White House press secretary also questioned the validity of the book tour, suggesting that Jean-Pierre continues to lie about the administration's accomplishments.
The exchange between Leavitt and Jean-Pierre highlights the ongoing tensions between the two former colleagues and underscores the deep divisions within the Democratic Party.

I mean, it's one thing to disagree with someone's views, but to take it to a personal level like this? It just feels like we're seeing more of the same politics as usual 
. Karoline Leavitt is pushing back against what she sees as a cover-up scandal and Karine Jean-Pierre is pushing back against her comments... it's all just a bunch of spin 
.
It's easy to attack from afar, but when you get into the trenches, it gets ugly 
.
.
. And now they're both going after each other, accusing each other of lying and gaslighting... it's just getting too much. I feel bad for the American people trying to keep up with all this drama 
It just feels like a distraction from the real issues.
. At the end of the day, it just feels like Leavitt is trying to salvage her own reputation by taking down someone she used to work with. Not cool, Karoline 
. Karine Jean-Pierre thinks she's so smart calling out Karoline Leavitt's comment as "deplorable" 
, but honestly, it just looks like Jean-Pierre is trying to deflect from her own issues 
. I mean, if Leavitt said something that bad, shouldn't Jean-Pierre be focusing on getting her book out the door instead of making waves? 
And let's not forget, this whole thing started because Leavitt made a pretty inflammatory comment herself 
.
And Karine Jean-Pierre is totally right to call it deplorable, I don't know how she can just sit there and let someone trash the country like that 
. Karine Jean-Pierre's book tour might not be getting much traction because let's face it, she's got some serious explaining to do 
just watched this drama unfold between Karoline Leavitt and Karine Jean-Pierre on The View... so Leavitt fires back at Jean-Pierre after she called out her comment about Democrats' constituency being made up of terrorists, aliens & violent criminals... and now it's getting nasty 
meanwhile, people are taking sides - some defending Leavitt's right to free speech, others calling out her inflammatory comments 
what's really sad is that it's coming from two women who used to work together in the White House 
she was part of the biden admin and she saw some stuff that made her feel uncomfortable. but instead of owning up to it, leavitt is trying to deflect and attack jean-pierre again 
anyway, its just more proof that politics can get super toxic sometimes 
. can't she just admit that somethin went wrong? meanwhile Leavitt is also kinda harshing on Jean-Pierre, accusing her of gaslightin people 
... but maybe Jean-Pierre has a point about the media scrutiny bein way more unfair to Biden than Trump 
but leavitt is not having it at all 
. But instead of taking the high road, Leavitt is doubling down on her own negativity and making baseless claims about Jean-Pierre lying to the press.
