White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt sparked a social media storm after her sharp response to Good Morning America host Michael Strahan. During an interview, Strahan questioned whether President Trump’s push for federal workers to return to in-person work might lead to resignations from government doctors and scientists. Without hesitation, Leavitt responded by pointing out that most medical professionals already work in person and that employees are more productive in an office environment. She added, “It’s the American people funding this government,” stressing that they deserve workers who show up.
The moment quickly went viral, with supporters praising Leavitt’s response, calling her a “stone-cold killer” and predicting she would become a legend. At just 27, Leavitt has already made waves as the youngest press secretary in U.S. history. She has redefined the White House press briefing by including independent journalists and influencers, which has garnered attention from conservative media.
