‘You’re a left-wing hack!’ Karoline Leavitt rips journalist over ‘biased’ ICE claims
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt torched a “left-wing” reporter who challenged the administration’s defense of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Niall Stanage, a White House columnist for The Hill, asked Leavitt to defend Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s remarks claiming ICE is “doing everything correctly.” Stanage pointed to the shooting of Renee Good that has engulfed the media, as well as deaths and alleged improper detainments over the last year.
‘You should be reporting on the facts.’
“Secretary Noem spoke to the media and she said, among other things, that they are doing everything correctly,” Stanage said. “32 people died in ICE custody last year, 170 U.S. citizens were detained by ICE, and Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE agent. How does that equate to them doing everything correctly?”
“Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?” Leavitt returned.

Leavitt sparred with Stanage, noting that he intentionally withheld figures that outline successful deportations of illegal aliens and the removal of violent criminals from America.
“Because an ICE agent acted recklessly,” Stanage replied.
“Oh, okay! So you’re a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion,” Leavitt said.
“You’re a left-wing hack! You’re not a reporter. You’re posing in this room as a journalist, and it’s so clear by the premise of your question.”
“You and the people in the media who have such biases but fake like you’re a journalist, you shouldn’t even be sitting in that seat. But you’re pretending like you’re a journalist, but you’re a left-wing activist, and the question that you just raised and your answer proves your bias. You should be reporting on the facts.”

Leavitt grilled Stanage for failing to name the innocent Americans who were killed by illegal aliens, doubling down and defending ICE’s role in deporting violent criminals.
“Do you have the numbers of how many American citizens were killed at the hands of illegal aliens who ICE is trying to remove from this country? I bet you don’t,” Leavitt said. “I bet you didn’t even read up on those stories. I bet you never even read about Laken Riley or Jocelyn Nungaray or all of the innocent Americans who were killed at the hands of illegal aliens in this country.”
“The brave men and women of ICE are doing everything in their power to remove those heinous individuals and make our communities safer. And shame on people like you in the media who have a crooked view and have a biased view and pretend like you’re a real honest journalist.”

Mamdani housing official decries ‘white middle-class homeowners’ for stalling ‘renter justice’ in resurfaced video
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration got hit with another blow in the form of a resurfaced video of more extremist comments from its top housing official.
Cea Weaver has been previously criticized for her socialist schemes on housing, but the newest video shows her taking aim at “white, middle-class homeowners.”
‘Unless we can undermine the institution of homeownership … it’s a really difficult organizing situation we find ourselves in.’
“I think that United States public policy has done a really, really, really good job of pitting cash-poor homeowners and working-class homeowners and middle-class homeowners against renters, and we need to figure out how to navigate that as organizers,” said Weaver in a video shared by the Free Beacon.
She went on to say that the real threat to “renter justice” was not institutional investors like BlackRock, but rather smaller-scale investors who own numerous housing units.
“It’s just this challenging dynamic,” she continued in the 2021 interview with Briahna Joy Gray. “White, middle-class homeowners are a huge problem for a renter justice movement.
She added, “Unless we can undermine the institution of homeownership and seek to provide stability in other ways, I don’t know — it’s a really difficult organizing situation we find ourselves in.”
Mamdani tapped the socialist housing activist to lead his Office to Protect Tenants, leading many to unearth her previous statements espousing statist schemes to erase private ownership of housing.
“I think the reality is, is that for centuries we’ve really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good,” Weaver said in one video interview. “And transitioning to treating it as a collective good and towards a model of shared equity will require that we think about it differently. And it will mean that families, especially white families but some [people of color] families who are homeowners as well, are going to have a different relationship to property than the one that we currently have.”
In the latest resurfaced video, Weaver went on to say that massive taxation would be necessary to fund expanded social service programs.
“We need a national movement to pass universal rent control to limit landlords’ ability to endlessly profit on our homes, to give tenants the right to form a tenants’ union where they live, and to really block evictions,” she added. “But rent control is not enough. People need money. We need to tax billionaires and transform that into cash assistance for renters. And we need to chip away at home ownership, and that means — that means Medicare for All, that means, like, a deep investment in real social service programs.”

Even some on the left have recoiled at the extremism from Mamdani’s administration and the comments from Weaver associating homeownership with white supremacy.
“Homeownership is how immigrants, Black, Brown, and working-class New Yorkers built stability and generational wealth despite every obstacle,” said former NYC Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, on social media.
“You have to be completely out of your f***ing mind to call that ‘white supremacy,'” he continued. “That level of thinking only comes from extreme privilege and total detachment from reality.”
