House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries unleashed harsh criticism against White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday, calling her a 'stone cold liar' and questioning her mental state.
Jeffries was responding to Leavitt's claim that Democrats were responsible for a shooting that occurred Saturday at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. The New York Democrat didn't hold back in his assessment of Trump's press secretary.
'You've got Karoline Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control,' Jeffries said. 'And I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above.'
Jeffries also called Leavitt 'a disgrace' in his comments. The harsh exchange reflects the increasingly bitter political climate between Democrats and the Trump administration.
Details about the Saturday shooting at the White House Correspondents' dinner are still emerging. The annual event brings together journalists, politicians, and celebrities in Washington.
This shows how heated political fights have become between top Democrats and Trump's team. When party leaders use such harsh words, it signals deeper tensions that could affect how government works and what policies get passed.
Watch for more reactions from other political leaders and additional details about the Saturday shooting incident.
