US EditionLeavitt blames 'left-wing cult of hatred' after correspondents' dinner shooting
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt blames Democrats and media figures for the shooting, citing a 'left-wing cult of hatred' and urging toned-down political rhetoric.
- On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed "violent rhetoric" from Democrats and media for Saturday's attempted assassination at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, where a gunman fired multiple shots in the lobby.
- Leavitt specifically targeted ABC host Jimmy Kimmel for a recent monologue joke calling First Lady Melania Trump an "expectant widow," labeling such commentary as "completely deranged."
- Authorities charged 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen with attempting to assassinate the president, while Leavitt claimed his manifesto was "indistinguishable" from daily political discourse.
- White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles will lead a high-level security review with Department of Homeland Security officials, as Leavitt called the situation a "national emergency" requiring full funding.
- Critics note President Trump has a history of aggressive rhetoric, including past comments about "shooting protesters" and "punching" opponents, contrasting sharply with the administration's focus on external language as violence's primary cause.
