“Well, it’s another question that the president has raised. It’s a legal question that the president is looking into, and he talked about this yesterday with his meeting [with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele] in the Oval Office,” Leavitt responded. “He would only consider this if legal for Americans who are the most violent, egregious repeat offenders of crime who nobody in this room wants living in their communities.”

Reminder, this witch grew up in a town where black people were not allowed to live until the 90s. Oprah did a show on it early in her career. Those attitudes shaped this ugly woman's worldview.
