White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is coming under heavy criticism from Democrats after likening their voter base to violent criminals and enemies of the state.

In an interview with Fox News on Thursday, Leavitt claimed that the “Democratic Party’s main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals.”

“That’s who the Democrat Party is catering to,” Leavitt insisted. “Not the Trump administration, and not the White House, and not the Republican party, who [sic] is standing up for law-abiding Americans …”

The comments drew strong pushback from Democrats, who have been accused by President Donald Trump and the White House of stoking political violence by calling Republicans fascist.
