    White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt calls journalist vile name in rant

    Karoline Leavitt, the youngest White House press secretary in history, didn't mince words when expressing her views on journalists, despite interacting with them daily.

    During an appearance on the Ruthless podcast, she discussed her initial months in the White House, where she has frequently addressed issues ranging from Canadian goods tariffs to Elon Musk's involvement in the Trump administration.

    Her tenure has been marked by criticism from journalists after the Trump administration announced it would determine which reporters could cover the White House, a decision traditionally made by the White House Correspondents' Association. Leavitt and the podcast hosts humorously discussed how she and White House communications director Steven Cheung handle emails from journalists, which she described as her "favorite thing."

    She recounted, "They email: 'Karoline, ethical experts, yes... We write back which experts? And then they send the names, and we Google them, and they're like Democrat donors funded by


    She's probably the best we've seen in a long time. She put his dumbass in place

    Leavitt makes Biden's lesbian clown look like the lesbian clown she is.

    They're stupid and thus, "she's smart". See how this works. And then there are those who see her as the worthless piece of trash that she is. . . and that most PR people are. Born and trained to lie.

    You’re so lost @flgator2. Watch the video after you read through Tariffs for Dummies. Actually, here’s a link so you can actually speak intelligently on the subject. What Are Tariffs?

    Because it does to him. Like all MAGA, it is the cornerstone of their existence and the hub around which their entire worldview revolves. Trust me, these are not complicated minds. Quite the opposite.

    Who needs that when you can just vinyl-wrap yourself in the flag, call yourself a "Patriot" and bleat along with the rest of the mindless sheep.

    Of all of the absolute idiots in the Trump administration, only Trump might be more stupid than this dimwit. I do agree she is perfect for this role. She is actually too ignorant to understand just how stupid she sounds to the average person.

    I don't believe for a minute that she is stupid enough to think tariffs are not a tax hike. Maybe I can get a Cato, LOL from the maga socialists.

    Economists Mary Amiti, Stephen J. Redding, and David E. Weinstein, for instance, estimate that the tariffs increased costs for average American households by about $830 per year, accounting for direct costs and efficiency losses. These and other economists find other tariff-related harms and net costs for the US economy overall.

    Estimates of the pain vary depending on what aspect of the Trump tariffs was studied, but it is clear that Americans faced significant losses from the tariffs (and inevitable foreign retaliation), including higher tax burdens and prices, loss in wages and employment, reduced consumption, decreased investment, a decline in exports, and overall aggregate welfare.

    Do not underestimate the willful stupidity of these people. Trust me, she is that stupid and she has no idea how tariffs work or what the actual goal of tariffs is. Straight up mouthpiece. And that's the sum of her existence on this planet.

    On a side note, I've always found it comical that any organization would name themselves after the worst Roman ever, the guy whose envy and jealousy chased the greatest Roman out of the public eye. The Catos were a scourge, not the Shakespeare character.

    leavitt’s comments on tariffs aren’t accurate. Does she understand them?
    And giving the same & tired “oh AP….” <insert snarky comment and quickly runaway to another topic> isn’t really effective.
