Karoline Leavitt is leaving her role as President Donald Trump’s White House press secretary, and administration critics are astonished.
On Wednesday, Trump announced her departure in a Truth Social post. Leavitt is reportedly leaving to take care of her children, as she gave birth to her youngest child in May.
Online critics of the Trump administration and Leavitt herself are letting her know that they welcome the news.
“Good riddance!!!!” posted Jamie Bonkiewicz, a Nebraska activist who was visited by federal law enforcement in January after they wrote a social media post condemning Leavitt.
“Very big deal,” wrote White House reporter Andrew Egger on X. “Leavitt was very good at what she did — arguably Trump’s best flak ever.”
“Karoline Leavitt is abandoning a sinking ship,” reacted podcaster and filmmaker Sabby Sabs. “The ‘family time’ comment is an excuse that unfortunately some will believe.”
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) wrote, “Karoline Leavitt is leaving the White House to spend a little more time…with the truth.”
“When even Karoline Leavitt can no longer lie for you, things have gone terribly wrong,” remarked progressive news personality Alex Cole. “I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that Karoline Leavitt resigned as White House press secretary after being an unwitting decoy on Air Force One.”
“Karoline Leavitt is being fired? (Oh, did I mean ‘leaving’?)” posted activist Renee Libby. “And HOW will Trump replace her with a BETTER liar? What a sad loss for Fascism.”
Novelist Paul Rudnick humorously speculated, “Karoline Leavitt is leaving her job at the end of the month because: she wants to spend more time with her hair; she’s tired of being called smart and beautiful by her parents; Natalie Harp pepper sprayed her; Bari Weiss offered her an anchor position on 60 Minutes.”
Anthony Scaramucci, Trump’s former communications director, joked that she lasted “50.7 Scaramuccis. Surprised by this, I thought she was going to last longer.”
