Ellen Barkin Curses Out WH Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt

Ellen Barkin is sticking with X, for now.

The progressive star, best known for films like “Sea of Love,” “The Big Easy” and Netflix’s “The Out-Laws,” hasn’t decamped for Bluesky like some fellow progressives.

Think Stephen King, Jon Cryer, Barbra Streisand and more.

That hasn’t changed Barkin’s political activism. In fact, Barkin just raged against the current White House spokesperson, a woman who became the youngest person in that position late last month.

Karoline Leavitt is 27 years old, and she made an impressive debut as President Donald Trump’s voice to the press.

Okay, it was just her first, but in her debut briefing @KarolineLeavitt gave a deeply impressive performance — comprehensive, quick with answers, knowledge of the topics, and confident throughout.
Quite the sea change from her predecessor.https://t.co/lYa5wl1wmf

Barkin disagrees. The actress slammed Leavitt in post that didn’t bother to debate the issue in play.

The topic? The role DEI hiring practices have had on federal aviation. Two high-profile airline disasters brought the issue to the fore. President Trump worries DEI hiring policies may have led to the tragedies, and he’s open to investigating further.

Leavitt, echoing her boss’ views on DEI principles, offered a simple statement on the matter. Barkin wouldn’t articulate her disagreement. Instead, she resorted to profanity.

Barkin has locked her account, meaning her posts can’t be embedded. Nor can folks she doesn’t follow share her missives. We can still see what she has to say.

It’s hardly the first time she’s attacked GOP targets.

She previously predicted Trump would win re-election and, shockingly, kill 6 million Jews a la Adolf Hitler.

President Trump has been a strong Israeli ally and has President Benjamin Netanyahu’s back. Trump recently approved the release of 2,000 lb. bombs for the IDF, reversing a block from his Democratic predecessor.

Trump also has a Jewish daughter, Ivanka Trump, and Jewish grandchildren. Trump’s former wife Marla Maples told this reporter he fully supports their spiritual views.

The new president recently paved the way for the release of Israeli and American hostages held by Hamas for more than a year.
