Karoline Leavitt names and shames Democrats who inspired WHCD assassination attempt



In the aftermath of the third assassination attempt against President Donald Trump, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt took to the podium on Monday to call out specific Democrats for heightening tensions and calling for violence.

Just days after 31-year-old Cole Allen allegedly sprinted through a security checkpoint and opened fire in the lobby at the Washington Hilton, wounding a Secret Service agent, Leavitt is pointing the finger at Democrats who have inspired deranged leftists to take up arms.

'These are Democrat-elected officials calling for war.'

"It's not just the media. ... The entire Democrat Party has made their pitch to voters across the country that Donald Trump poses an existential threat to democracy, that he is a fascist, and that they compare him to Hitler," Leavitt said Monday.

"I mean, these are despicable statements that the American people have been consuming for years, and so many mentally perturbed individuals are led to believe these words are truth and then are inspired to act on it."

Leavitt said those incessantly likening Trump to dictators who deserve to be met with violence inspired the three assassination attempts and countless threats waged against the president and his allies.

"Rep. Hakeem Jeffries just this April, this month, said, 'We are in an era of maximum warfare everywhere all the time,'" Leavitt said. "Governor Josh Shapiro said, 'Heads need to roll' within the administration. Senator Alex Padilla said people are 'dying because of fear and terror' caused by the Trump administration."

Leavitt went on to list several more prominent Democrats like Sens. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), Adam Schiff (Calif.), and Ed Markey (Mass.), Gov. JB Pritzker (Ill.), Rep. Ayanna Presley (Mass.), and Rep. LaMonica McIver (N.J.), who have made similar appeals likening Trump to a fascist, dictator, or authoritarian and calling for ambiguous escalations.

"These are Democrat-elected officials calling for war against the president of the United States and his supporters," Leavitt said.

Democrats Who Called Eric Swalwell Their 'Friend' Now Say They're Stunned by Accusations Against Him

It was an open secret among the political class—except, apparently, to those who knew him best. Democrats who once described their closeness with former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) now say they are shocked by the string of sexual misconduct allegations against him–including rape–that ended his gubernatorial campaign and led to his resignation from Congress. The professions of ignorance come as reporters, former Capitol Hill staffers, and other political insiders say Swalwell's alleged treatment of women has been an open secret in the nation's Capitol.

Democrats dump Eric Swalwell after sexual assault allegations implode his career



Democrats have turned on California Rep. Eric Swalwell after former staffers accused him of sexual assault and other sexual misconduct, prompting the gubernatorial hopeful to scrap his campaign altogether.

Swalwell suspended his campaign for California governor just two days after several bombshell reports cited ex-staffers accusing the congressman of sexual assault and inappropriate behavior. Although Swalwell has denied all the allegations, pressure in the form of leaked videos, investigations, and rescinded endorsements pushed the lawmaker to drop out Sunday.

'We should take her story seriously.'

"I am suspending my campaign for Governor," Swalwell said in a statement on X. "To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past."

"I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s."

Swalwell's trouble did not stop there, with dozens of his colleagues condemning the congressman in the immediate aftermath of the reports about the allegations.

"I have read the San Francisco Chronicle’s account and I am deeply distressed by its allegations," Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said in a statement on X. "This woman was brave to come forward, and we should take her story seriously. I am withdrawing my endorsement immediately, and believe that he should withdraw from the race."

"Following the incredibly disturbing sexual assault accusations against Congressman Eric Swalwell, we call for a swift investigation into these incidents and for the Congressman to immediately end his campaign to be California's next Governor," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said in a post on X. "This is unacceptable of anyone — certainly not an elected official — and must be taken seriously."

Not only did Democrats call for a full-fledged investigation, but several lawmakers and former staffers called for Swalwell's removal from office.

Lawmakers are now leading a bipartisan effort to expel Swalwell and Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas, who similarly suspended his re-election campaign after admitting to an affair with a former aide who tragically took her own life by setting herself on fire.

"I've seen enough," Democratic Rep. Jared Huffman of California said in a post on X. "With his nuanced statement aimed at defending likely criminal charges, Swalwell all but admits a per se abuse of power under House ethics rules: sex with a subordinate."

"He must now drop out of the Governor's race and resign from Congress. Rep. Tony Gonzales, who admitted to the same violation, should also resign. If they don't, I will support voting to expel both of them."

The overcrowded Democratic primary for California governor is now down to five candidates. Notably, Republican candidates Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco are leading the general election polls, but Swalwell's support is likely to shift to the remaining Democrats.
