Jim Jordan's leadership victory gives Karoline Leavitt a reason for optimism after Republicans' election losses. Appearing on Fox News's The Will Cain Show, the former White House press secretary welcomes the Ohio congressman's selection to lead House Republicans in the minority.
"Jim Jordan is not only a terrific guy, he is a fighter," she says. Her argument is about the job ahead: she expects Democratic impeachment efforts and sees Jordan as someone prepared to oppose them.
The discussion then turns to the impeachment articles Republican Rep. Thomas Massie introduced against Pete Hegseth. Cain displays the articles, while a Pentagon clip shows Hegseth rejecting the effort as politically motivated. "This is not patriotism. This is sabotage," Hegseth says.
Leavitt's defense centers on presidential authority. She says she witnessed Hegseth carrying out President Donald Trump's instructions and argues that the military operations were lawful and successful.
The segment also includes a competing account from Democratic Rep. Jason Crow. In footage of his interview with Martha MacCallum, Crow accuses Hegseth of misleading Trump about how quickly and easily the Iran war could be conducted. Leavitt rejects that accusation and defends both Hegseth's advice and the military's execution of the mission.
The upload drew about 756,000 views since yesterday. Beyond its opening celebration of Jordan, it offers a direct exchange of opposing arguments about Hegseth: Crow questioning what the president was told, and Leavitt defending the secretary's actions under his orders.
