White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was roundly mocked on Monday after admiring President Donald Trump for bravery during the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting.
Leavitt spoke to reporters during a press briefing, blaming Democrats and members of the media for what led to suspect Cole Allen allegedly shooting a Secret Service agent.

"The president's calm in the face of chaos while yet another individual was trying to take his life was really remarkable to witness, and it's something I will never forget. President Trump is fearless. He is willing to put his own life on the line," Leavitt said.
Social media users questioned her claims.
"Frankly, it looked more like he had no idea anything was going on until the Secret Service yanked him out of his chair," author Sherry Knowlton wrote on X.
"Trump stumbled and struggled getting up,' progressive political commentator Vince Wilson wrote on X.
"Fearless, eh? What does his military record look like?" College instructor and author Anthony M. Hopper wrote on X.
"Really he wasn't so calm when he was asked [about Epstein]," Tracey Gallagher, attorney and former Judge Pro Tem, wrote on X.
"She knows this sort of propaganda is not helping the discourse, right?" English teacher and former announcer Professor George Werner wrote on X.
