Karoline Leavitt Slams Pro-Hamas Supporters, Defends Trump’s Fight for Jewish American Students

Karoline Leavitt: Trump is 'Delivering' on Promise to 'Stand Up' for Jewish American Students

In a recent appearance on Hannity, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reaffirmed that former President Donald Trump is fulfilling his commitment to protect Jewish American students. She strongly condemned pro-Hamas sympathizers and criticized an Associated Press reporter for what she called an "insulting" question regarding tariffs.

Trump's Actions to Support Jewish American Students
Leavitt highlighted Trump's recent decision to cut $400 million in federal funding to Columbia University, accusing the institution of failing to protect Jewish students amid pro-Palestinian protests. The move has sparked controversy, with some praising it as a necessary step against campus antisemitism, while others argue it infringes on academic freedom.

Clash with AP Reporter Over Tariffs
During the Hannity interview, Leavitt also pushed back against AP reporter Josh Boak, who questioned Trump’s tariff policies. She dismissed the question as “insulting,” asserting that tariffs are part of Trump's broader strategy to protect American economic interests.

These statements come amid heightened tensions on university campuses and growing political debate over Trump's policies on trade and foreign affairs.
