And she never answered the question.

Well, if we know anything about Ms. Leavitt, it’s how much she loathes facts.
CrimsonFeetofKali on
OK, but what’s the point with Leavitt anymore?! She’s dishonest, sure, but she’s a true believer, she’s just going to go up to the podium and spew talking points, any even decent reporter aren’t doing anything that approaches accountability and they’re just playing a part in this political theater. It doesn’t deserve our attention anymore and legitimate news organizations should just walk away instead of this daily presentation from TACO Belle….

I think Leavitt is really auditioning for the job of spokesperson for Kim Jon Un. Nothing she says has any semblance to the truth.

It would seem she just can’t fathom why anyone would be afraid of people in dark masks, carrying assault style weapons, throwing people to the ground and tying their hands behind them (including children) and then shipping them off to lord knows where and possibly never to be seen again. She surely must be a compassionate individual.

KKKaroline “grandpa lover” Leavitt, deflects questions from the press without answering. Again.

Under siege? I’ve seen a person having tea, people line dancing, and a person in a frog suit.

And of course most of us here know this, but just to push back on Leavitt’s “facts” –
1) For the 100 or so days in which there have been protests near Portland’s ICE building, they have been overwhelmingly small (like fewer than 25 people) and peaceful, with protesters staying on their side of the perimeter line. ICE has nonetheless been using teargas on them, and just recently other fed agents and conservative activists have tried to stir up trouble too. And deliberately [injured some 84-year-olds](https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2025/10/federal-agents-knock-down-elderly-couple-during-portland-protest.html). (No National Guard agents have shown up yet, as far as I know.)
Unpopular opinion, Democrats are harming themselves on fighting the portland/antifa/ice discourse. This is exactly what GOP wants to. Government is shutdown, talk about that

It’s generally confined to a block or two, and if less than 100 people at almost any given time. The rest of the city is operating as usual. For anyone wondering.

Dude I would put my money on it that there are 25 to 50 people tops there every night. Every shot they put up of the ICE facility there is zoomed so far in. Also that thing has been boarded up since 2020. I used to live like a mile and a half from it.

That is NOT the law. And that’s why the judge barred him from doing it.

I live in the Portland metro area. Sure, if you go to the edge of the metro area, if you look hard enough, you will find a MAGGAt that wants Portland destroyed. The vast majority of us want ICE fascists to stay the hell out.

Can’t wait to see who those members of the press are that support Leavitt’s version that Portland is a hellscape.

This daily beast click/rage bait is out of hand. She ‘loses her mind’ four times a day at this point.

2) The ICE building in Portland is **not** federal property. It’s owned by the city of Portland. ICE is just leasing it (and they’ve been [breaking the terms of their lease](https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2025/09/ice-in-portland-broke-detention-rules-25-times-violating-permit-city-finds.html) too).
