White House Press Secretary Rebukes Rep. Crockett Over Trump Voter Mental Health Remarks

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt strongly criticized Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett after Crockett described supporters of President Donald Trump as indicative of a mental health crisis. Leavitt called Crockett's comments derogatory, emphasizing that nearly 80 million Americans voted for President Trump and highlighting the 'America First' movement as comprising hardworking patriots from various professions and middle America. She mockingly suggested Crockett should attend a Trump rally to better understand his supporters. Crockett had made her remarks during an interview with Katie Couric, arguing that opposing Trump transcends partisan lines and expressing her preference for any Republican over Trump. Leavitt's response was delivered with a mix of sarcasm and seriousness, positioning Crockett's comments as disrespectful and out of touch with the president's broad base of support. These exchanges have drawn significant attention amid ongoing political tensions and debates about party divisions and rhetoric.
