White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt unleashes a fiery response to NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani after he labeled President Donald Trump a “fascist” and “despot” following their surprising Oval Office meeting. In a tense on-camera exchange, Leavitt not only defends the President but also slams Mamdani’s remarks. Amid the escalating political war of words, Leavitt also announces that the Justice Department will appeal the dismissal of cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, signaling a major legal escalation from the Trump administration.

00:00I think talk is cheap, and I think that the president is going to judge
00:12Mamdami by his actions that he takes to New York.
00:15Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
00:18I've spoken about- That's okay, you can just say yes.
00:21Okay, that's easier.
00:22President Trump has said he still thinks he's a fascist and a despot
00:26after they had such a great meeting.
00:28Any comment from the White House on that?
00:30I think talk is cheap, and I think that the president is going to judge Mamdami
00:35by his actions that he takes to New York.
00:38The meeting was positive, as you heard from the president last week,
00:41and I think the fact that the president is willing to meet with somebody who said
00:44those types of things about him shows that he really is interested in being a president
00:49for all Americans, regardless of where they live or who their leader is.
00:53He wants what's best for New York.
00:54He loves New York City.
00:55He helped build the skyline. He spent his whole life there.
00:58And so he really wants to see New York do well.

01:41And so that's how that meeting played last week.
01:43The White House is supportive of the Department of War's investigation into Senator Mark Kelly.
01:48And I think what Senator Mark Kelly was actually trying to do was intimidate the 1.3 million
01:54active duty service members who are currently serving in our United States Armed Forces
01:59with that video that he and his Democrat colleagues put out.
02:03Senator Mark Kelly well knows the rules of the military and the respect that one must
02:08have for the chain of command.
02:10And that all lawful, all orders, lawful orders are presumed to be legal by our service members.
02:14You can't have a functioning military if there is disorder and chaos within the ranks.
02:20And that's what these Democrat members were encouraging.
02:23It's very clear.
02:24And not a single one of them, since they've been pressed by the media, and I'll give you
02:27guys credit for that, can point to a single illegal order that this administration has given
02:32down because it does not exist.
02:34They knew what they were doing in this video.
02:36And Senator Mark Kelly and all of them should be held accountable for that.
02:39Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
02:42I've spoken about…
02:43That's okay.
02:44You can just say yes.
02:45Okay.
