The White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was questioned by reporters after Trump commented that Republicans should “take control of the vote in at least 15 states.”
In talking about the issue, Karoline Leavitt raised more doubts than she should have.
“The president believes in the U.S. Constitution, however, he believes that obviously, there was a lot of fraud and irregularities that occurred in the American elections,” she said.
“Voter identification is a highly popular and common-sense policy that the president wants to push forward, and he wants to pass legislation to make this happen in every state in the country,” she added.
Internet users went to X, the former Twitter, to express their thoughts on the use of “however,” considering that Trump had pledged to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States” during his inauguration.
“That ‘however’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting,” responded journalist Molly Jong-Fast.
Representative Jim McGovern responded to Karoline Leavitt’s video with a screenshot of the definition of “however,” which is used to “introduce a statement that contrasts with or seems to contradict something that was said earlier.”
