When she’s not standing at the podium in the White House Briefing Room and telling one lie after another in a pathetic attempt to defend the actions of Clown-in-Chief Donald Trump, press secretary Karoline Leavitt also manages to be what can most charitably be called an odd duck.
Until yesterday, there didn’t seem to be a word or words that best described Leavitt, but that changed when former Trump attorney Ty Cobb spoke with CNN’s Erin Burnett to discuss Leavitt and the administration’s continued attacks on federal judges who are ruling against the Trump agenda, according to The Daily Beast.
Shortly after the U.S. Court of International Trade paused Trump’s tariffs, Leavitt remarked, “There is a troubling and dangerous trend of unelected judges inserting themselves into the presidential decision-making process. America cannot function if President Trump or any other president for that matter has their sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations railroaded by activist judges.”
It’s called checks and balances, Karoline, and it’s one of the things that keeps this country from devolving into a dictatorship where one branch of government has all the power. But you can’t expect a dolt like Leavitt to know or comprehend such a concept. After all, it’s all she can do to put together words and form sentences.
Asked about Leavitt’s remarks, Cobb had this to say: “I don’t think creepy Karoline — when she speaks — I don’t think anybody in America really takes her seriously on a matter of substance. I mean, she’s not learned by any imagination.”
He added, “The statute in question has never in history been used in connection with tariffs. So I think the likelihood is that this statute will be upheld and enforced in a way that precludes the president from trying to pretend that he has these all-encompassing powers.”
Creepy Karoline. That’s perfect! And it’s likely to stick.
