'That supposed to scare people?': Photo of Karoline Leavitt's attack notes sparks mockery

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt may have inadvertently exposed a MAGA strategy for a recent conservative television appearance, critics argued on Tuesday.

Leavitt snapped a photo of her notes and shared it on social media on Monday just as she was preparing to speak with Fox News personality Sean Hannity. Patriot Takes, an X account focused on researching and monitoring right-wing extremism and other threats to democracy, noticed the detail.

"Karoline Leavitt’s note inside her Fox News media van reminds her to say 'extreme liberal Democrats' while on air with Sean Hannity," the social media account noted.

Leavitt, who speaks on behalf of President Donald Trump, has often used that term to describe people who oppose the president and his policies. During her Fox News segment Monday night, she claimed that under President Trump, Americans were safer and the country was more affordable.

"We cannot allow these radical extreme far left liberals to take power," Leavitt said during the interview. "We have steady progress under President Trump right now. If these radical extreme liberals are given a chance at power in Washington, D.C., they will try to obstruct this president and turn our country into a communist hellhole with every extreme liberal policy that they try to implement."

Commentators on social media responded to Leavitt's notes.

"Extreme liberalism, that supposed to scare people?" User Vinny, who frequently shares progressive content, wrote on X.

"Because she says it so seldom? No, she has to write it down because she doesn't know what she's talking about. Why should she be any different from the rest of this ugly, corrupt, fiscally incompetent & non-democratic administration?" Fiona Kenny, Canadian liberal commentator, wrote on X.

"Extremely Radical Republicans," Helen Self, a progressive commentator, wrote on X.

"It’s wild how passionately she peddles the same daily lies and misinformation as her Daddy, acting like the rest of us live on the moon and somehow missed what’s actually happening in this country. What a disgrace of Administration," Reyes Ruiz, an X user who frequently comments on MAGA talking points, wrote on X.
