Karoline Leavitt recently took a sharp jab at the Democratic Party, characterizing its supporters as “Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals,” while simultaneously lauding former President Donald Trump for his role in “freeing Palestine.”

During a Fox News interview, the White House Press Secretary expressed her frustration with figures like New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, as well as protesters who had infiltrated airport messaging systems to broadcast anti-Israel messages. Leavitt accused the Democrats of having a dubious core constituency, stating, “The Democratic Party’s main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals.”

Leavitt further questioned why those advocating for Palestinian freedom have not acknowledged Trump’s contributions to peace in the region. “I would like to ask, where are all the ‘Free Palestine’ protesters?” she inquired. “It’s President Trump, who literally freed Palestine, and they’re now very much quiet about why they can’t stand President Trump. And that is the basis of the Democratic Party today.”

He said it was too early to know if the cease-fire in Gaza would work, but said Trump deserved credit if it ‘proves to be something that is lasting, something that is durable.’ Pressed repeatedly during the interview about his past criticisms of Israel, Mamdani said he was primarily focused on issues that matter to New Yorkers, but maintained his pledge to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he steps foot in the city.

Elsewhere on Thursday, a major international airport in Pennsylvania received a terrifying message when hackers breached the PA system and delivered a foul-mouthed tirade against Israel and Trump. Passengers were waiting to board their flights at Harrisburg International Airport when a barrage of messages supporting the Palestinian movement were blasted through the speaker system on Tuesday. ‘[expletive] Netanyahu. [expletive] Trump. Free, free Palestine. Free, free Palestine,’ the message repeatedly said. ‘Turkish hacker cyber Islam was here.’

Also, at Kelowna International Airport in Canada screens flashed messages praising Hamas and calling for ‘Free Palestine.’ ‘Israel lost the war, Hamas won honorably,’ the screen read. ‘You are a pig Donald Trump.’ Harrisburg Airport spokesman Scott Miller said the incident was being investigated by police, but did not cause any major delays. ‘An unauthorized user gained access to the airport PA system and played an unauthorized recorded message,’ he said. ‘The message was political in nature and did not contain any threats against the airport, our tenants, airlines, or passengers. The PA system was shut off, and the incident is under investigation by police. We should not comment on the information in the message.’

At the time the message was played, one flight was in the process of boarding. Miller said ‘out of an abundance of caution, the aircraft was searched. ‘No security issues were found, and the flight departed safely. The airport is operating normally.’

The message comes after Trump helped to broker a peace deal between Israel and Hamas which saw the remaining 20 surviving hostages freed. ‘We have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to put the old feuds and bitter hatreds behind us,’ Trump said at a post-handover peace summit. There, he urged leaders ‘to declare that our future will not be ruled by the fights of generations past.’

Trump promised to help rebuild Gaza, and he urged Palestinians to ‘ turn forever from the path of terror and violence .’ Netanyahu hailed Trump as ‘the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House ,’ and he promised to work with him going forward. ‘Mr. President, you are committed to this peace. I am committed to this peace,’ he said. ‘And together, Mr. President, we will achieve this peace.’

The first phase of the ceasefire agreement calls for the release of the final hostages held by Hamas; the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel; a surge of humanitarian aid to Gaza; and a partial pullback by Israeli forces from Gaza’s main cities.
