White House mocks 'unserious' NJ Dem Rep. LaMonica McIver after she claims 'Liberation Day' is 'racist' and code for 'white power'
2025-08-19
[NYPOST] The White House slammed New Jersey Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver on Monday after she argued that President Trump's ''Liberation Day'' mantra is code for ''white power.''

McIver — who was hit with federal charges in June accusing her of assaulting and interfering with immigration officers outside a New Jersey detention center — leveled the accusation as she railed against Trump's crime crackdown in Washington, DC, which she fears ''will start a civil war'' if he tries it in other Democrat-run cities.

''I think there's an ultimate agenda of this administration to do these types of things,'' the congresswoman said of the president's decision to take control of DC's police department and deploy federal law enforcement and National Guard troops in the nation's capital, during an interview on the ''Defending Democracy with Marc Elias'' podcast last week.

''Sic the military on the very people that they're supposed to be protecting in these cities and then expect a certain response so that it can escalate — I truly believe that that's what the president hopes for,'' McIver argued, before calling the effort — and Trump's ''Liberation Day'' for DC label — ''racist.''

''When he says, oh, you know, it's Liberation Day, and all of these things, those are, you know, ways of him saying, oh, it's white power,'' McIver said.

''Those are racist remarks,'' she argued. ''His number one targets are cities that are led by black mayors.''
Because that's where the sewage is
McIver went on to bemoan that Trump's ''number one targets are sanctuary cities that, you know, support immigration.''

The New Jersey Democrat charged that Trump's push to clean up DC and end sanctuary city policies ''show us each and every day how much of a bigot he is.''

The White House brushed off McIver's allegations, mocking her ''attempted catfight'' outside the Newark ICE facility that landed her in trouble with the feds.

''LaMonica McIver, whose claim to fame was assaulting federal agents, is an unserious person whose comments are nothing more than a political stunt, much like her attempted catfight in front of an ICE facility,'' White House spokesman Harrison Fields told The Post.

''Congress would be better off if she left, and the people of New Jersey would benefit greatly if she pursued her apparent passion for street fighting,'' he added.
