President Trump isn’t staffing his administration with any shrinking violets. He’s building a team of people who are ready, willing, and able to kick some and take some, and none less so than the new White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt. On Monday, she went on Fox News’s “Hannity” and called out Democrats for their hypocrisy in opposing the new Department of Government Efficiency – the DOGE – after years of pious pronouncements by those same Democrats about the need to cut wasteful spending.

Democrats, mind you, consider any spending on defense or law enforcement to be “wasteful,” so there’s that. And it’s not like they mean anything they say about cutting any spending, wasteful or otherwise – they don’t. But Karoline Leavitt is calling them out on it, and she can swing a verbal cudgel with the best of them.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed Democrats’ hypocritical position ahead of DOGE’s Social Security audit. Leavitt defended President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s objectives on “Hannity” Monday, pointing out that former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton championed rooting out waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars.

KAROLINE LEAVITT: If you just watched that video, but shut your eyes and listen to the words from those Democrat politicians, you would think you are listening to President Trump, Elon Musk and our entire administration, who are saying the exact same things that Democrat politicians promised the American people they would do for decades. President Trump is just the first president in our lifetimes to actually do it. And now you see the Democrat Party and the mainstream media spiraling out of control about a very simple promise: rooting out waste, fraud and abuse from our federal bureaucracy. This is a promise President Trump campaigned on. He is now delivering on it.

The eruption of whining from the left, in this case, was triggered by the DOGE’s digging into Social Security, in which they have uncovered an amazing number of super-centenarians in the files. She continues:

Democrats, of course, have been promising reforms in the bureaucracy and efforts to cut wasteful spending for decades; remember Bill Clinton’s pious pronouncement that the “era of big government is over?” They didn’t mean it, of course.
