Trump's Press Secretary Tried To Diss Harvard, But Accidentally Made People Question Her Public Speaking Skills Instead

The White House press secretary holds one of the most public-facing roles in a presidential cabinet. Right now, that role is held by 27-year-old Karoline Leavitt.

Amid the Trump administration's ongoing legal and cultural battle with Harvard University over the federal funding it receives, Leavitt appeared on Fox News to discuss the situation with Sean Hannity.

President Trump is moving to cancel all of the university's federal funding.

In a clip that's been viewed over 4.6 million times, Leavitt attempts to diss Harvard as a "woke" leftist institution of higher education (the oldest and most revered in the country, I might add).

As I keep saying, she wasn't hired for her brains.

I don’t think cures and better for cancer and other diseases will come out of those plumbers and electricians.
