White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the US has no plans to return Lady Liberty. […]
Leavitt said the US would “absolutely not” return the statue and addressed that “low-level French politician.” (Raphael Glucksmann) She said: “It’s only because of the United States of America that the French aren’t speaking German right now.”
“They should be very grateful to our great country,” she added.
Leavitt seemed to be referring to Germany’s occupation of France during World War 2. France was later liberated with the help of the US and other Allied forces in 1944. …

They say that like it’s a bad thing.
Interestingly, I understand that the French maintain our fallen veteran’s graveyards with reverential respect.
Well, she’s right.
Figures.
France has repeatedly insulted the US and proven to be not an ally when it mattered.
Truth hurts, France can get over it.
Go hang a pali flag for St. Paddy’s, stupid Irish biotch.
We didn’t need to save Ireland from the Nazis because they cheered them on from their little green rock.
The disrespect is from this low-level French politician who pretended that his forebears had intended to keep a string attached to the gift of Lady Liberty, to be janked back as soon as such a politician as he would mount the audacity to use it is a political prop.
The French givers of the Statue were disgraced by this, their thoughtless descendent.
We don’t speak Gaelic either.
Just sayin’.
That is correct. They are maintained in excellence. Excellent comment.
Good for Caroline
And Yes, I have spent time in Normandy and in my experience the locals are very respectful of us Americans.
I’ve mentioned Hitler to a few Europeans and they get really offended. They are super impressed with themselves as foreign policy experts. After hundreds of years of wars and destruction.
“Interestingly, I understand that the French maintain our fallen veteran’s graveyards with reverential respect.”
I’ve heard the same thing, particularly in Normandy.
I think by now they have more in common with the Nazi party than they do the U.S. anyway. The antisemitism and distain for free speech is near that level.
Totally laugh out loud.
You go girl
If we pay them?
I love this from the article: “Leavitt seemed to be referring to Germany’s occupation of France during World War 2” Ya think?
But we also saved their butts from the Germans in WWI.
That said…
…the Administration should troll the snot out of the MSM, France, and all the other losers, and announce “We have agreed to return Lady Liberty to France; Italy has agreed to provide this replacement.

Give it back to ‘em and let choke on Islamofascists until their nation is absolutely, utterly, completely destroyed....
I note that the Irish and French never seem to worry about being disrespectful towards America.
