Misrepresentations on Government Shutdowns and Filibuster

• 🗣️ Leavitt advocated for Republicans to get tough, use the filibuster option to reopen the government, and claimed the majority of the country wants it open.

Falsehoods Regarding Tariffs and Trade Deals

• 📈 Leavitt claimed trillions of dollars in investments are pouring into the country due to Trump's tariffs and tailor-made trade deals.
• 📉 The speaker debunks this, explaining that tariffs are paid by American companies, crushing farmers and manufacturers, and that Trump often cites completely made-up numbers for investment.

Inaccuracies About Healthcare Reform

• 🏥 Leavitt asserted that Democrats want to renegotiate the healthcare system they created and are holding the government hostage over it.
