White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt gave the media a full dose of their obsession with the “Russian collusion” hoax in response to the FBI seizing ballots and other documents in Fulton County, Georgia.
A sticking point for Democrats and their media allies was the involvement of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who deployed to Fulton County to perform an election security assessment, according to Fox News. Gabbard’s presence was used in an attempt to politicize the raid.
“As the director of national intelligence, it is a part of Miss Gabbard’s role to make sure that American elections are free of foreign interference and that American elections are safe and secure,” explained Leavitt. “And so the ODNI director is working with the FBI on this effort, and the president wholeheartedly supports both [FBI Director] Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard in ensuring that American elections are safe, secure, and free of foreign intervention.”
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Karoline Leavitt just STUNNED the Fake News by saying they should WANT DNI Tulsi Gabbard investigating the 2020 election fraud, because THEY peddled the “Russia” hoax

A reporter made the mistake of questioning “any indication that there’s foreign influence?”
“Excuse me, one second. It’s the media who has said that there’s Russian interference in American elections,” Leavitt pushed back. “You guys have been saying that for many, many years.”
“The people in this room, considering that you all said for many years that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump, you should all be very happy that we finally have an administration that is looking into that, and we’ll be happy to keep you posted,” she continued.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
What a great point by Karoline.
Of course the Democrats also called the 2020 election the most secure in history. If they really believe it was so secure, they should welcome an investigation.— Ellie A (@EllieGAnders) February 5, 2026
Yep. If the media spent years screaming “Russian interference,” they don’t get to clutch pearls when someone finally says: cool, let’s investigate interference. Sunlight fixes this stuff. Unless you’re scared of what it shows.

Exactly, they pushed the hoax and now pretend to want transparency? Classic media hypocrisy.

Why are we spending any time on this, when we have yet to see one arrest? Let focus on now and the future and how to protect our polls should our lousy Congress not vote for the Save Act? Let’s start talking about plan B ICE at the polls?
