Fox Enterprise host Stuart Varney scolded Donald Trump’s marketing campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt like a headmaster admonishing a wayward pupil. (Watch the video beneath.)
At concern was the previous president’s new nickname for California Gov. Gavin Newsom, “New-scum.”
Varney had an issue with the moniker. “I object to that form of language. How about you?” he requested Leavitt on Thursday.
She bemoaned the “as soon as nice state of California” beneath Newsom. “You see actual scum, actual homeless individuals all around the road,” she mentioned.
“Are you saying it’s OK to carry that form of language to a presidential marketing campaign?” Varney mentioned. “New-scum? That’s OK?”
Leavitt replied that the “actual drawback” was “deranged Democrats” like Newsom and President Joe Biden.
“No,” Varney snapped. “I believe your marketing campaign has an issue with language like that.”
Leavitt mentioned voters don’t agree, prompting Varney to once more query the messaging. Now that Trump’s final GOP foe, Nikki Haley, has withdrawn from the race, Varney requested:
“You assume you’re going to win over Haley voters with language like that, do you?” he requested. “Do you win over moderates and ladies with language like that? Actually?”
Based on an extended clip shared by Raw Story, Leavitt replied that “powerful rhetoric” was required.
“Truly, it isn’t powerful rhetoric,” Varney snapped. “It’s obscene.”
