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."

What do the Euros think the Statue of Liberty represents?

Certainly not liberty — then what?

Send it back to them, Cloverleaf style, with the poem rewritten in Arabic.

They can have the stupid Emma Lazarus Poem on the bronze plaque though.

Progressive / Leftist Americans are propagandized to believe this is somehow in America’s Constitution and is our government immigration policy.

Hey, how about we give you back to the Nazis we liberated you from? In Europe alone, America lost 140,000 of our boys and 320,000 were injured some maimed for the rest of their lives. So cram it, jerk…..

My advice to that unnamed low level French politician would be to remind them ...

Come on, Karoline, do your homework.

It should be easy enough to determine if you're talking about a him or a her.

If you don't know, the correct locution would be "him or her."

This idea of the statue...came up shortly after the Civil War, and a French intellectual wanted to honor the US ‘noble intentions’...ending slavenly. Within 11 years...the statue was designed and started.

I should point out....after the 1870 war with Prussia...France was evolving into a different mindset.

Yes, she is. Friendly, but feisty as the interaction may require.

Send it back. Make them pay for it. Trump will know what and how to develop that property.
