“Calm in the Face of Chaos”: Leavitt Denounces ‘Systemic Demonization’ After Assassination Attempt

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the third major assassination attempt against President Trump in two years, following a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Leavitt praised the heroism of the U.S. Secret Service, specifically highlighting an agent who survived a bullet to the chest thanks to his protective vest. She noted the President's "remarkable calm" during the attack and his immediate insistence on checking on the injured agent after being moved to safety. Leavitt directly linked the rise in political violence to the "systemic demonization" of the President and his supporters by media commentators and Democratic officials. She called for an end to the "hateful rhetoric" that she claims has legitimized violence over the last decade, urging the country to settle disagreements through debating and voting rather than bullets.
