White House Press Secretary eviscerates this Democrat Congressman with one word
The Democrat Party is thrashing around in agony. They know they have no power now, and can’t stand that Trump does.
But now Trump’s Press Secretary eviscerated this Democrat Congressman with one word.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt isn’t holding back after a California Democrat took aim at her faith.
Freshman Rep. Dave Min stirred controversy last week when he attacked Leavitt on X, branding her “a Fake Christian.”
Leavitt fired back, calling Min’s comments not only unfounded but also inappropriate.
“I think it’s pitiful for an elected member of Congress to say that about a woman who he’s never even met,” she told the New York Post on Saturday.
The Political Backdrop
Min’s outburst came after the White House revoked an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memo that had ordered a freeze on federal grants and loans contradicting Trump’s executive orders. A federal judge blocked the OMB directive on Jan. 28, prompting the administration to formally withdraw it.
However, Leavitt was quick to set the record straight, clarifying that the overall policy — blocking federal funding for DEI and other Left-wing initiatives — remained firmly in place.
“This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze,” she tweeted.
“It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo. Why? To end any confusion created by the court’s injunction. The President’s EO’s on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented.”
Faith Under Fire
Rather than debating policy, Min took a personal swipe at Leavitt, mocking her explanation while taking aim at her religious beliefs.
He tweeted that she delivered her clarification “while wearing a giant cross to let everyone know how pious and moral she is, even as she is so comfortable stating a bald-faced lie to hundreds of millions of people.”
Leavitt, who prominently wore a gold cross during her first White House press briefing on Jan. 28, didn’t hesitate to defend her faith.
“My Christian faith is a huge part of my life,” she told the New York Post.
“My faith, my marriage, my family life — it’s everything to me.”
The 27-year-old, a wife and mother to 6-month-old Nicholas “Niko” Robert, has remained steadfast despite the online frenzy over her choice to display her religious symbol.
Social Media Reaction
Leavitt’s cross necklace has sparked a firestorm on X, drawing both praise and criticism.
“Incredible seeing Karoline Leavitt, the youngest person to serve as White House Press Secretary, unapologetically wear a Christian cross during her first press briefing,” one user celebrated.
“Karoline Leavitt wears a cross around her neck in her first press briefing. Love it,” another tweeted.
But the backlash was just as loud.
“These FAKE Christians drive me up a wall! Supporting the symbol of a cross with the meaning of goodness / kindness to others and love of Christ, BUT evil MAGA Christians just spread HATE for mankind!” an outraged user wrote.
Another user joked, “I need @nbcsnl to do a skit where it’s Karoline Leavitt doing press conferences and the stories get crazier and crazier and her cross necklace gets larger and larger.”
Leavitt, who was raised Catholic and attended Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, Massachusetts, has credited her faith as the foundation of her conservative principles and belief in the American Dream.
While critics continue to lash out, it’s clear that Leavitt isn’t backing down — not on policy and certainly not on faith.
