White House press secretary joins 'Fox & Friends' to discuss Trump's address to Congress, pause of Ukraine aid
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted Tuesday to Democrats reportedly planning protests and disruptions to President Donald Trump's primetime address to Congress. Leavitt dismissed the claims, stating Democrats should be thinking about "standing up in applause" for some of what Trump will highlight to the American people.
KAROLINE LEAVITT: I think, frankly, the Democrats should think about if they should stand up in applause for some of the things President Trump will be talking about. He's bringing common sense back to this country. Look at Democrats: yesterday, 45 Senate Dems voted against keeping men out of women's sports. How can you be against that when 80% of the country is for it?
The White House press secretary also discussed Trump pausing aid to Ukraine and the possibility of repairing the relationship as the fallout from the explosive meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continues.
