WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's response to French politician demanding the return of the Statue of Liberty
X ^ | 03/17/2025 | Eric Daugherty

OMG...MIC DROP.

DOOCY: There is now a member of the European Parliament from France who does not think The US represents the values of the Statue of Liberty anymore. They want the Statue of Liberty back. So is President Trump going to send the Statue of Liberty back to France?

LEAVITT: "Absolutely not. My advice to that unnamed low level French politician would be to remind them that it's only because of the United States Of America that the French are not speaking German right now. So, they should be very grateful, to our great country."

>> Wow, did Trump pick a firebrand for press secretary!

A brilliant firebrand! Hard to believe she’s 27 years young. What a wonderful example and role model!

“Them” is acceptable in lieu of “him or her” if you don’t know. Though I do prefer “him or her” myself since it’s clearer (albeit wordier).

That point of view has been asserted by those who wish to destroy the language’s capacity to communicate ideas.

Those people have no authority to force that abomination upon society.

Yes. It’s pitiful how the English language is being massacred.

What a bight spot in the Press Office in place of the dull witted DEI fence post that previously occupied the position.

“Those people have no authority to force that abomination upon society.”

That ‘abomination’ is hundreds of years old, dating back to middle English.

Okee dokee, we'll send it back, "très bientôt", but we have to tell you, we modified the statue a tad.

What a stupid question, even though it was someone more or less, from our side asking a question that is never going to be acted upon. Facepalm. SMH. A gotcha question from the right.

Better question...

Should America offer France a tower, equal in height and grandeur, in the shape of a hand giving the middle finger?

I would’ve said that this EU parliament dude doesn’t represent France as France is our first ally that assisted us in becoming America.. Similarly we assisted France so that they didn’t become part of Nazi Germany.

Grind it into pieces and ship the metal scrap on a garbage barge...with an invoice for the shipping charges.
