White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre slammed “MAGA Republicans,” claiming they applaud racism and anti-Semitism.
During Tuesday’s briefing, Jean-Pierre was asked about Nury Martinez, the former president of the Los Angeles City Council. Martinez resigned as president on Monday after the recording of a 2021 meeting in which she said a fellow council member’s son acts “like a monkey.” She also slammed the city’s district attorney, saying, “Fuck that guy… He’s with the Blacks.”
