Trump Spox Karoline Leavitt Hit With Brutal X ‘Community Note’ After Stunning Swipe At US Ally

Trump White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt got hit with a brutal X/Twitter “Community Note” context-check after she took a stunning shot at longtime ally France in a spat over the Statue of Liberty.

French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann kicked off the feud with a thinly-veiled shot at President Donald Trump (as translated by France 24):

“We’re going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: Give us back the Statue of Liberty.

We gave it to you as a gift, but apparently you despise it. So it will be just fine here at home.

During Monday’s White House press briefing, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Leavitt if Trump is “going to send the Statue of Liberty back to France?”

Leavitt responded by invoking World War II as a punchline:

Absolutely not, and 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.

That stunning response drew a lengthy rebuke from MEP Glucksmann, as well as a response in kind from X/Twitter users who felt Leavitt’s crack was lacking context. The “Community Note” read:

It is also thanks to the French that the US is no longer a British colony. “France helped make the victory of the US possible. Continental soldiers used French weapons and wore French-made uniforms and, by the end of the war, they fought alongside French soldiers.”

The note included links to several supporting articles, including one from the Museum of the American Revolution. After hours of visibility, the note was deleted — likely due to others voting it was “not helpful.”
