Leavitt Uses Texas Shooting to Demand Dems ‘Tone Down Rhetoric’
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt used a shooting at a Border Patrol building to demand that Democrats “tone down their rhetoric” toward members of that agency and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
At a press briefing Monday, a reporter teed up that response from Leavitt after he mentioned that the shooting “comes just days after Democratic congresswoman Pramila Jayapal recently said she gets ‘inspired when activists obstruct ICE.’”
“Does the White House expect Democrats to tone down their rhetoric in light of what we saw today in McAllen, Texas?” the reporter asked.

Leavitt, predictably, said it indeed does.
“We certainly call on Democrats to tone down their rhetoric against ICE and Border Patrol agents who, again, are everyday men and women,” she said.
“I would encourage AOC and other Democrats to actually meet with the United States Border Patrol,” she continued, even though neither Jayapal nor Ocasio-Cortez called for violence toward the agency, let alone a shooting.
“These are honorable Americans who are just simply trying to do their job to enforce the law. They go home to their families every night, just like we all do, and they deserve respect and dignity for trying to enforce our nation’s immigration laws and to remove public safety threats from our communities.”
Authorities said the man who reportedly opened fire on the Border Patrol building, 27-year-old Ryan Louis Mosqueda, was shot dead by federal officers after he had fired “many dozens” of rounds with an assault rifle. Mosqueda did not enter the building.
A border patrol employee and two officers were injured in the shooting, according to authorities. One of the officers, Ismael Garcia, sought medical attention after being hit in the knee by either a bullet or shrapnel.

And has anyone from the Democratic party told this slag to "shut your filthy mouth you two bit slag", yet?
Why no, of course they haven't. God their cheeks must be red raw from all the turning they do.

Does this smug round-faced cuntflap think Trump should have "toned down rhetoric" when he was slinging all kinds of ugly LIES and truckloads of misinformation about Biden and FEMA, when they were out there rescuing flood victims in Asheville NC last Fall?

She sounds like a spoiled teenage girl throwing a tantrum whenever she complains about something.

Hopefully, she'll be in jail with the rest of the Trump Administration.
