Leavitt Won’t Leave It: NH-01 GOP Candidate Refuses to Condemn Endorser’s Attack on Heroic Ukrainian President

Karoline Leavitt endorser and alleged predator Rep. Madison Cawthorn called heroic Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “thug” who ran an “incredibly evil” government.

When NHJournal asked if Leavitt would condemn her endorser’s comments, she chose to stand by Rep. Cawthorn.

Asked about Cawthorn’s view of Zelenskyy and whether she agreed, Leavitt’s campaign NHJournal sent a statement attacking NH-01 GOP front-runner Matt Mowers and his support from “anti-Trump” Republicans like former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Trump’s U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.

Leavitt did not condemn Cawthorn’s comments or contradict his description of Zelenskyy as a “thug.”

DCCC spokesperson James Singer:

“Karoline Leavitt will always stick with the most extreme wing of her party, even when it brings her down into the gutter. She continues to take the hard-right flank in this primary, dragging the rest of the field with her.”
