President Donald Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt made a crucial error when she went on Fox News’ Fox & Friends on Tuesday morning to discuss Trump’s joint address to Congress. The 27-year-old press secretary was advertising the White House guest list, that she claimed would feature “everyday Americans,” when she named a dead firefighter Corey Comperatore. In the same breath, Leavitt seemed to suggest Comperatore, 50, who was fatally caught in the crossfire of Trump’s assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in July, would accompany his fellow “everyday Americans.”
Leavitt’s spiel started with mighty compliments to the president and his wife Melania Trump. “The first lady will be in attendance tonight and the guest list that she put together, and President Trump put together, is phenomenal. There will be everyday American heroes in attendance,” Leavitt remarked, before she divulged the list of attendees.
“Stephanie Diller, whom you mentioned too, lost her husband in the line of duty at the hands of an illegal immigrant. You have Marc Fogel, who of course because of President Trump’s peace through strength efforts returned from Russian captivity. Corey Comperatore, who lost his life protecting his family in Butler, Pennsylvania.”
Leavitt didn’t appear to catch her mistake as she continued down her list: “You’ll also have an auto worker, you’ll have a steel worker, and you will see exceptional Americans with great stories. President Trump will be telling their stories tonight.”
Remember when JaBiden told poor Chuck who was paralyzed, to GET UP CHUCK
Or when Barack Hussein Obama mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm was looking out at the crowd and he saw the dead corpsemen?
WE REMEMBER!
This is silly, and reeks of TDS. She presumably meant that his family would be in attendance, or that his story would be told, as she noted explicitly that he “lost his life”.
He will be there in spirit
she meant to say that all the DEAD MEN that are still collecting Social Security will be there or those collecting payroll from Federal jobs will be mentioned
Cute. I think this happens all the time with members of both parties, and the media on the opposite side of the aisle makes fun….
Nothing to take too seriously.
