Convicted felon President-Elect Trump’s vicious German Shepherd spokeswoman and incoming White House Press Secretary Karoline “Blondi” Leavitt is all MAGA these days, but CNN reports that in the immediate aftermath of the January 6th, 2021 Capitol insurrection the then-Trump Reich comms staffer linked a video of a Capitol cop directing rioters away from where he knew Senator Mitt Romney to be, with the comment “A hero” and also retweeted another post by Tim Scott staffer Ken Farnaso who wrote “VP @Mike_Pence was a steady hand through the chaos that ensued at our Capitol yesterday. Love him or hate him, he kept the wheels of democracy moving and pushed forward to certify his own loss,” with a video of Pence calling it “a dark day” in the Capitol’s history.
Both posts were subsequently deleted from Leavitt’s Twitter profile however it’s not clear from the article exactly when this happened, specifically if it was in response to a request for comment from Leavitt. Obviously someone had the foresight to archive them before she could pretend it had never happened. It’s possible they were saved while Leavitt ran a failed campaign for New Hampshire’s 1st District in 2022, though our guess is it was more recent because they probably would’ve surfaced publicly during that bid by her primary opponent or by the incumbent Dem, Chris Pappas.
She herself did not provide a statement for the story, instead handing it off to similarly angry and unhinged Trump spokesanimal Steven Cheung, who said simply “Karoline was completely correct in saying there were irregularities with the 2020 election and any cases of fraud should be investigated in order to protect and preserve the sanctity of our Democracy. She will make a wonderful Press Secretary championing the policies and agenda of President Trump, and there is nobody better who can articulate that to the public,” without addressing the deleted Twitter posts at all.
