Reporter: Trump, during his inaugural address said: Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents. Is the president going back on his promise?

Leavitt: No, he is fulfilling his promise… it is not weaponizing the DOJ to demand… pic.twitter.com/IhpDJO5YtD — Acyn (@Acyn) September 22, 2025

“No. In fact the president is fulfilling his promise to restore a Department of Justice that demands accountability. It is not weaponizing the Department of Justice to demand accountability for those who weaponized the Department of Justice,” Leavitt replied, employing some weak verbal trickery to coat the lie she was telling.

Then she brought out the therapy language. “We are not going to tolerate gaslighting from anyone in the media from anyone on the other side who is trying to say that it’s the president who is weaponizing the DOJ.... You look at people like Adam Schiff, and like James Comey, and like Letitia James, who the president is rightfully frustrated [with]. He wants accountability for these corrupt fraudsters who abused their power, who abused their oath of office to target the former president.”

So according to Leavitt, anyone who was involved in trying to hold Trump accountable for anything in his past—Letitia James, who successfully sued him for fraud, James Comey, who didn’t drop an investigation Trump wanted him to as FBI director, Adam Schiff, who was a key figure in both of Trump’s impeachments—was just wrong. Trump, who in MAGA’s mind has never done anything to deserve that kind of legal scrutiny, should now have free rein to target them.

Under no circumstances should anyone take medical advice from Trump, Oz, or RFK Jr.

> Later, the president said that children should not be given too many vaccines at once on the basis that it’s “too much liquid.”

Literally the dumbest fucking person alive.
