Karoline Leavitt urged California Governor Gavin Newsom to cooperate with President Trump during a fiery television appearance on Friday night.
Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt used a Friday night appearance on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” to challenge California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, arguing that Democratic leaders could accomplish more by working with President Donald Trump.
Leavitt, who stepped down as White House press secretary in August, appeared on Maher’s program as the conversation ranged from Trump’s governing style and the upcoming midterm elections to his relationship with Democratic officials.
The discussion turned to California after Leavitt pointed to Trump’s dealings with Democratic Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser as an example of cooperation between the White House and a Democratic local government.
