Joseph Epstein on Karoline Leavitt

[question everything]

If the press formerly accosted White House press secretaries, in recent days this has reversed, with the press secretary now on the attack. An all-too-vivid example of this occurred this month, when 28-year-old Karoline Leavitt attacked Niall Stanage, a White House columnist for the Hill, after he revealed that he thought that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who shot Renee Good acted recklessly and unjustifiably.

Ms. Leavitt unloaded: “You’re a left-wing hack. You’re not a reporter. You’re posing in this room as a journalist. . . . And shame on people like you in the media who have a crooked view and have a biased view, and pretend like you’re a real honest journalist.”

She has taken the job to new heights (or is it new depths?). Ms. Leavitt seems more certain than President Trump of the efficacy of President Trump’s policies. She is also often more mean-spirited than he and is without his sense of humor. What was once a job that called for a voice of seemingly poised neutrality has, under Ms. Leavitt, become one of sullen partisanship. Hers is henchman-like behavior.

1. She's gone to a very dark place

A person can't spew lies so easily and constantly without it having a bad effect on one's psyche or soul. The more she channels her boss, the sicker she seems. I hope it doesn't affect her developing baby.

2. NOT one single reporter should show up

for her lies and belittling of human beings doing their job. JUST don't how up

[pandr32]

3. Or they could all stand and turn their backs to her.

4. Then there's her ubiquitous cross hanging on her neck.

Yep, she’s the epitome of a Christian as she rips people apart and stands with the felon each day. What a truly nasty woman.

[Ritabert]

5. And she's being warned about lip fillers during pregnancy

6. Leavitt aka axis sally nt

7. Hanging a cross on yourself does not make you a xtian. and she is definately not Christ-like.

[ChicagoTeamster]

11. That's right wing Xtians. ITheir christianity is a political identity not a practiced spiritual faith.

18. Leavitt is Anti Christ. nt

9. When I clicked the link I got to a paywall but was able to listen to a pro trump propaganda video

(WSJ Opinion: America Doesn't Do Fascism) explaining to us why we are confused and that we are not experiencing fascism. Just thought you should know. I will try again later and I'm not a WSJ subscriber so didn't get to see the intended article yet. I guess you can only get what they want you to believe for free.

10. Gold digging skank says what?

I truly despise this nasty, hateful little (expletive deleted)

[sop]

12. She's Trump's vicious attack dog.

[DavidDvorkin]

13. Fuck Joseph Epstein

From the article:

One thinks here of poor Karine Jean-Pierre, appearing on the podium weekly, large notebook in hand, to lie about the mental condition of the obviously senile Mr. Biden.

[LymphocyteLover]

14. she's disgusting-- a vile person like PedoDon

[calimary]

15. I wish Karoline WOULD leave it.

Leav itt.

[MadameButterfly]

16. I agree with the quoted text of the article except for the part about

her having less sense of humour than Donald Trump. I don't really think that is possible.
I've never seen any humour from Trump. Ever.

[Cha]

17. Joseph Epstein Got That Right.

Leavitt is a Fucking Goebbels Enforcer for Nazis...

TY & Joseph Epstein.

[Hobo]

19. Oh you were referring to

Karoline Goebbels...Minster of Propaganda for the We Protect Pedophiles Party.

[yellow dahlia]

21. I call her Karoline Levitate...

ever since her first day in front of a podium. She was SO possessed - I thought she was gonna levitate...like in the Exorcist.
