Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on the SAVE Act – “There Should be No Pushback to Any of the Commonsense Proposals in the SAVE America Act” (VIDEO)

White House Press Secretary was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to talk about the success of “Operation Epic Fury.” She also discussed how gas prices are temporarily affected due to the instability in the Middle East.

Secretary Leavitt also discussed President Trump’s priority of passing the SAVE Act to secure federal elections by requiring ID to vote.

“What is the President expecting to do to rein in those prices right now, where we are watching and waiting for those midterm elections in November?” Bartiromo asked.

“The President is watching everything, both abroad, through the demolition of the rogue Iranian regime, through ‘Operation Epic Fury,’ and of course here at home,” Leavitt said.

“The President inherited the worst affordability crisis in our nation’s history from Joe Biden, and look at the progress he has made in the course of the past year,” Leavitt said.

“With respect to what’s happening with gas prices right now, this is a short-term disruption for the long-term gain of taking out the rogue Iranian terrorist regime and finally ending their restriction of the free flow of energy in the Middle East and in the Strait of Hormuz,” Leavitt continued.

“The President is also trying to protect elections, so in the middle of all of this, he is talking about the SAVE Act,” Bartiromo said.

“Why would the President want to muddy up this issue and add transgenderism and no men in women’s sports right now when the issue of all voters getting proof of citizenship has already been accepted by some Democrats like John Fetterman?” Bartiromo asked.

“There should be no pushback to any of the commonsense proposals in the SAVE America Act,” Leavitt said.

“Mandatory voter ID in the United States of America. 90 percent of our country Democrats and Republicans support this commonsense solution to secure American elections,” Leavitt said.

“Requiring US citizenship to register to vote. Another commonsense measure that absolutely must be done to secure our elections and the future of our country,” Leavitt continued.

“With these other two ideas with no men in women’s sports and with ending transgender surgeries for minor children. These are commonsense proposals and policies that again are backed by the vast majority of our country,” Leavitt said.
