You know the feeling. It’s that special kind of obnoxious, when people living on another planet decide to lecture the rest of us on how to live. From their climate-controlled mansions and behind the safety of armed guards, a certain class of elites preaches a radical vision for America—a vision whose disastrous results they will never have to endure.

But this condescension reaches a whole new level of gall when it is aimed at the very people who keep our country from descending into chaos. And, of course, it always is. While enjoying lifestyles protected by the best security money can buy, these same sermonizers love to demonize the public servants who uphold our laws. It’s a breathtaking double standard, and one that was just put on blast for the entire country to see.

From ‘The Daily Wire’:

“It’s very ironic and, frankly, sad to see celebrities who live in gated communities with private security, with millions of dollars to spend protecting themselves, trying to just demonize law enforcement public servants who work for the U.S. government to enforce our nation’s laws.

You didn’t hear this same type of uproar from celebrities in Hollywood when the previous administration allowed an invasion of our nation’s borders, and allowed innocent women and girls like Jocelyn Nungaray and Laken Riley to be killed, raped, and murdered at the hands of people who should’ve never been in our country in the first place.”

With that, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt didn’t just speak truth to power; she spoke truth for the millions of Americans who are sick and tired of the hypocrisy. She gave a voice to every citizen who watches this charade and understands that a nation’s laws are not optional suggestions.

Hollywood’s Latest Crusade

Leavitt’s takedown was a direct response to Hollywood’s latest and most shameless crusade. At the recent Grammy Awards, a lineup of celebrities including Justin and Hailey Bieber and Billie Eilish paraded around with “ICE OUT” pins looking for a camera. Artist Bad Bunny used his moment on stage to deliver some self-important drivel against the federal agency, predictably earning a roar of applause from a roomful of millionaires.

This wasn’t an isolated incident. The unhinged rhetoric is spreading. At the Sundance Film Festival, actress Olivia Wilde declared that ICE is a “criminal organization.” This isn’t just a debate over policy anymore; it is an open war on the rule of law, waged by people who are completely insulated from the mayhem they are trying to unleash.

The Price of Their Virtue

But this isn’t just a matter of tone-deaf celebrities. As Leavitt so powerfully pointed out, this is a matter of life and death. Her statement masterfully exposed the moral void at the center of Hollywood’s activism by contrasting their performative outrage with their cold silence on real American tragedies.

Where were the protest pins for Laken Riley? Where were the acceptance speeches demanding justice for Jocelyn Nungaray? The silence from the red carpet was, and remains, absolute. This is the grim reality that Hollywood’s fashionable cause conveniently erases. Their social justice crusade has a real-world body count, paid not by them, but by innocent Americans whose families are shattered by the consequences of unenforced laws.

Leavitt’s words were more than a sharp political retort. They were a necessary and ferocious defense of our law enforcement officers and a vital reminder of the real stakes. The gulf between their world and ours isn’t a gap; it’s a canyon. While celebrities pose for cameras, the dedicated agents of ICE continue their dangerous and thankless work. Their protest is a performance. The work of our border agents is real.

Key Takeaways

• Hollywood elites hypocritically attack ICE from their protected, gated communities.
• White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called out their disconnected virtue signaling.
• Celebrity activism ignores the real victims of open-border policies, like Laken Riley.
• The left’s war on law enforcement endangers the safety of all Americans.
