'Clown show': Karoline Leavitt sparks backlash with defense of Trump's Easter rant

Political analysts and observers were taken aback on Thursday after Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended President Donald Trump's rant during an Easter event at the White House.

Trump hosted a gathering of several religious organizations at the White House on Wednesday to commemorate the Easter holiday. During the event, Trump said the federal government can't afford to continue funding programs like Medicaid and Medicare. Instead, Trump suggested that state governments raise their taxes to cover the cost of the programs.
