Karoline Leavitt Criticized Over Remark about Joe Biden
Karoline Leavitt’s rise from a small-town worker to White House press secretary under Trump has been swift and bold. At 27, she is the youngest person to hold the role and is known for her outspoken conservative views. Formerly aspiring to be a journalist, she now critiques the media and strongly supports Trump.
Recently, she sparked controversy by mocking President Joe Biden’s age, saying, “I thought his bedtime came long before the time of his speech,” during an event where Biden addressed Social Security. Her comment, seen as disrespectful by many, overshadowed policy discussions and drew backlash on social media, even from some of her supporters.
Biden, in his speech, criticized Trump-era proposals that could threaten Social Security and highlighted his administration’s $2 billion investment to improve services. He called for unity and reaffirmed his commitment to American values.
Leavitt’s remark ignited debate, raising questions about respect in political discourse and the tone of today’s political climate.
