White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is facing MAJOR backlash — once again — for her comments.

Speaking with Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures, Leavitt was asked about American concerns regarding a potential draft for the Iran war.
To start, Bartiromo posed, “Mothers out there are worried that we’re gonna have a draft — that they’re gonna see their sons and daughters get involved in this. What do you want to say about the president’s plans for troops on the ground?”
To which Leavitt responded, “President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table.”
“I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly, but the president, as commander-in-chief, wants to continue to assess the success of this military operation.”
“It’s not part of the current plan right now, but the president, again, wisely keeps his options on the table,” she concluded.

Hearing this didn’t exactly sit well with Americans at home.
“I’m fucking done. DONE,” one person responded to the segment. “There is no way in FUCK I would send my kids off to fight for Israel.”
Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene also weighed in, writing on X, “Karoline Leavitt doesn’t rule out a draft. How about the answer is NO DRAFT AND NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND because we campaigned on NO MORE FOREIGN WARS OR REGIME CHANGE!!! Liars every single one of them! Not my son, over my dead body!!!!!”
People are calling this administration “some of the worst to ever do it.”

And they want Trump’s college-age son, Barron, to join boots on the ground operations.
When it was suggested that Leavitt did not rule out the possibility of a draft, the White House Rapid Response team on X said, “She didn’t say anything close to this. You just made it up.”
