Fox News fans demand Trump secretary be 'studied' after 'unhinged' interview

Fox News fans were left baffled by the latest interview given by Donald Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt - and have insisted the viral moment "should be studied". In a new interview on the network, the 28-year-old, who is the youngest press secretary the White House has ever had, was asked about remarks made by her predecessor Karine Jean-Pierre, who served under Joe Biden.

Host Jesse Watters began by asking: "Oh, she called you deplorable. And you said..." and Karoline started to give her own side of the story, responding: "Well, with all due respect to my predecessor, she is one of the main culprits of the greatest cover up in scandal in American history. She took the podium every day and lied to the press about the incompetence of her boss."

In a separate interview last week, Karoline claimed the Democrat Party is made up of a "main constituency" of "Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals".

She insisted: "That is who the Democrat Party is catering to, not the Trump administration and not the White House and not the Republican Party, who are standing up for law-abiding Americans not just across the country but around the world."

Viewers couldn't get enough of the wild claims, with one writing: "Psychologists gotta study these people someday."

Another echoed: "The level of projection from the Trump administration could run all the movie theatres in the galaxy."

It's far from the first time Karoline has seemingly lost it on air, and hit back at HuffPost correspondent S. V. Dáte over Trump's decision to meet Putin in Budapest, Hungary. When asked "Who suggested Budapest?", she replied: "Your mom did."

She fired back: "It's funny to me that you actually consider yourself a [journalist]. You are a far left hack who nobody takes seriously, including your colleagues in the media, they just don't tell you that to your face. Stop texting me your disingenuous, biased, and bulls*** questions."
