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

So, if you oppose their policies that makes you “sinister.” What’s really sinister is excluding Minn authorities from the investigation so it can be thoroughly washed white by Trump DOJ. https://t.co/LlP0vj5ILT

This is insane. A woman is dead and instead of facts or accountability, we are getting conspiracy talk and political blame games.

Leavitt’s words are the sinister disinformation of a regime preparing to crush democracy. It is the language of totalitarian dictatorship. The lies are of the same kind that came out of the USSR.

This sinister left wing movement is also famous for carrying stuffed animals in their glove compartment. https://t.co/D6Ch5BSM44

No this happened bcuz ICE agents are in our streets. That’s why. It has nothing to do with a sinister left wing movement. Get them out of our streets and I bet this won’t happen again. The gaslighting by this admin is astounding. Only idiots believe this.

This is straight up out of the authoritarian playbook … stigmatize and delegitimize your political opponents. Present law enfrocement as unimpeachable in their actions and beyond accountability. https://t.co/MvHmfloGJj

No remorse

No reflection about why the officer was standing in front of the woman’s car with his gun drawn

Just doing his job and the woman is a terrorist who got what she deserved

Whether you think she was fleeing, or think she was trying to hit him, ICE created the situation https://t.co/d81iRZTZ3m
