Karoline Leavitt, 28, has been a breath of fresh air in the White House — if you want to see it that way.
Now, the press secretary is back in the spotlight, this time following a ‘disgusting’ remark from her 79-year-old boss, President Trump.
Remarks about her looks
In recent weeks, President Donald Trump has come under renewed scrutiny for a series of attacks aimed at female reporters.
In November, Trump sparked widespread outrage when he told a Bloomberg White House correspondent, “Quiet, piggy,” after she asked him about the Epstein files, a topic he clearly didn’t want to address.
It didn’t stop there. Days later, he aimed fresh insults at a female CNN reporter, calling her “nasty” and “stupid.”
Now, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has found herself the target of remarks about her looks. While somewhat flattering, critics say they were entirely inappropriate.
Speaking to supporters in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, December 9, Trump mentioned that his 28-year-old press secretary was present.
“We even brought our superstar today, Karoline,” he told the crowd, adding, “Isn’t Karoline great?”
Trump went on, according to several newspapers: “You know, when she goes on television, Fox, like I mean, they dominate, they dominate when she gets up there with that beautiful face and those lips that don’t stop-op-op-op, like a little machine gun.”
