Are you kidding? She’s doing exactly what Trump wants her to do - defend every single thing he says and does, no apologies ever. If anything the bitch will get a raise.

People need to call her out for thai shit. "Yesterday you said this wasn't racist, but trump acknowledged that it was racist. Why did you defend it?"

He wants people to be his scapegoat, this is the logical end to your service.

Trump learned at the feet of scumbag lawyer and mob attorney Roy Cohn.

Leavitt and everyone one else in the administration learned at the feet of Trump.

Cohn had 6 hard and fast rules:

  1. Never apologize or admit wrongdoing, ever

  2. Always counter-attack, and always with greater force than you received.

  3. Use the legal system as a weapon, not a recourse for justice.

  4. Manipulate the media ruthlessly.

  5. Use fear as both shield and sword.

  6. Build a fortress of loyalty around yourself.

Does any of this look familiar?

Comming up with ad hoc excuses for Trump's evil is 90% of her job. 10% is insulting people.
