An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.

The government's anti-protest laws are a betrayal of British history. We should celebrate heroes who take action - not criminalise them.
In recent months, people have been arrested for holding signs, holding a cartoon and projecting a photograph. This is an attack on our right to protest.
