Karoline Leavitt Insults Reporter, Then Shamelessly Dodges Question About Trump’s Incomprehensible Unabomber Theory
"President Donald Trump recently made an impossible claim about the Unabomber, and when White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about it, she responded by insulting the reporter and completely dodging the question.
During his remarks at Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit in Pittsburgh Tuesday, Trump claimed that his uncle, John Trump, who taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, had Theodore Kaczynski as a student.
Kaczynski was nicknamed the “Unabomber” by the media during his decades-long spree of domestic terrorism, sending mail bombs that killed three people and wounded 23 others between 1978 and 1995. Kaczynski mailed a 30,000 word “manifesto,” criticizing modern technology and the destruction to the environment that it caused, to media outlets in 1995, helping lead to his arrest the following year. He pled guilty to all charges against him to avoid the death penalty, and died in 2023 after he hanged himself in his cell while serving multiple life sentences."
