News outlets, political analysts, and pundits were all eager to dissect her words, and the conversation only grew louder as the day went on.

Leavitt’s words will not soon be forgotten, and they will likely serve as a touchstone for future political debates surrounding patriotism, freedom, and the role of government in American life.
