Trump makes Karoline Leavitt look foolish with 'nonsensical' election comment: analysis

An attempt by Karoline Leavitt to explain away an outlandish Donald Trump comment has backfired and made her look foolish, a political commentator has suggested.

The White House Press Secretary had been asked to explain what the president meant when he called for the Republican Party to "nationalize the voting" in 15 states. The specific states were not mentioned by Trump, who made the comment in a speech broadcast on the former United States Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Dan Bongino's podcast.
