Karoline Leavitt blamed a ‘sinister left-wing movement’ for the fatal shooting in Minneapolis as the White House lowers the bar to below sea level

It’s becoming quite clear that this current White House administration really needs a lesson in reading the room.

One of the President’s most loyal lackeys, press secretary Karoline Leavitt, stormed up to her pulpit yesterday to admonish the media about who is really to blame for an ICE agent shooting dead a 37 y/o mother in Minneapolis.

It wasn’t exactly the compassionate response a senseless death usually elicits.

Leavitt: “The deadly incident that took place yesterday in Minnesota yesterday occurred as a result of a larger, sinister left-wing movement that has spread across our country where our brave men and women of federal law enforcement are under organized attack.” pic.twitter.com/vPo7qRmm57

Well, that’s one way to look at it.

Here are many other (more rationale, empathetic, thoughtful) ways.

1.

By declaring anyone that opposes his regime as “sinister”, Trump’s administration is establishing the advance justification for anything they do to American citizens moving forward. https://t.co/H0ONywW2Tq

So now, Renee Good is part of a sinister, left wing movement.

Horseshit and lies. https://t.co/rqj5f6DGuh

An innocent mother was m*rdered in broad daylight by the federal govt and their response is to make up batsh*t crazy conspiracies – we are completely f*cked as a country

And I’m going to be told to “find common ground” with my fellow citizens that are cheering this on, yelling “this is what I voted for”. https://t.co/Tz0D4v45bL
