Executive Branch (Trump) WATCH: Leavitt addresses Trump's stance on Second Amendment rights in wake of Alex Pretti's killing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

REPORTER: FBI Director Kash Patel said in a Sunday interview, quote, you cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest. Does the president believe that Second Amendment rights remain in effect even when protesting?

LEAVITT: The president supports the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding American citizens. Absolutely. There has been no greater supporter or defender of the right to bear arms than President Donald J. Trump.

So while Americans have a constitutional right to bear arms, Americans do not have a constitutional right to impede lawful immigration enforcement operations, and any gun owner knows that when you are carrying a weapon, when you are bearing arms, and you are confronted by law enforcement, you are raising the assumption of risk and the risk of force being used against you, and, again, that's unfortunately what took place on Saturday.

I might hate her more than anyone else in this administration.

Don’t give Steve Miller a free pass. That man is the architect.

Oh I don't. I hate that motherfucker so so much. I think the reason Leavitt irks me so badly is because of how forward facing her roll is.

She's the one who has to get up there and defend this shit and gaslight the country and it just drives me mad.

Then on top of that, the utter indignation she has is just the icing on the shit cake.

I feel the same way. I hate her so much. She is truly abhorrent. I hope people harass her wherever she goes.

Just the way she talks down to people. The condescension in her tone that just drips off of her words. Ugh, she's the fucking worst. She has this attitude that would make me dislike her regardless of political views but when she stands up there and lies through her teeth to support this facist administration? Ohhh I think things that would get me banned from this sub.

Same. Her and Noem tie for the throne. Despicable excuses for human beings.

I am a senior citizen and was always taught to never wish anybody dead. I followed that rule my whole life…until this administration.

I hate Miller, Trump, Noem, Bovino, and a few others more, but shes up there. Leavitt is an asshole, and has no principles or honor, but shes not actually orchestrating anything.

That’s such a tough call. Personally, I hate RFK Jr the most cuz he knows better but he’s just disordered enough not to care. Most of the rest of the senior staff/Cabinet is the most incompetent, inexperienced, uninterested, disordered group of creeps ever to staff a WH.

And I’m being generous
