The X post from

(posted on January 15, 2026) highlights what it calls hypocrisy by the Trump administration.It criticizes White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for strongly condemning anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis who were shown giving the middle finger to ICE agents (and vandalizing vehicles) during her January 15, 2026, press briefing. Leavitt described the gestures and vandalism as "despicable," blamed "left-wing agitators" encouraged by Democratic rhetoric, and urged Democrats to meet ICE officers to understand their work.The post points out that this outrage seems selective because just days earlier — on January 13, 2026 — President Trump himself was caught on video raising his middle finger at a heckler during a visit to a Ford factory in Dearborn, Michigan. The heckler reportedly shouted something accusing Trump of being a "pedophile protector" (tied to ongoing Epstein file controversies). Trump appeared to mouth an expletive and gesture back, which the White House later defended as an "appropriate and unambiguous response" to a "lunatic."The attached video in the post likely juxtaposes clips of Leavitt's briefing (showing the protesters' gestures) with footage of Trump's own middle-finger moment to emphasize the perceived double standard and "false outrage."The post has gained traction (over 800 likes, 200+ reposts, and many replies) among users who agree it's ironic or hypocritical, with replies mocking Leavitt, defending the protesters' actions against ICE, or bringing up unrelated criticisms of Trump.This fits into the broader context of escalating tensions in early 2026: widespread anti-ICE protests (especially in Minneapolis after a fatal shooting involving an ICE agent), heavy White House messaging against "violent left-wing agitators," and ongoing controversies around Trump's personal conduct and administration policies.
