Karoline Levitt ditches religious necklace after Jon Stewart's brutal joke: 'Some sort of weird Pinocchio cross'

36. Leavitt's rather ostentatious cross has been the subject...

...of (deserved) ridicule here on DU for some time now. Both she and Trump's previous press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, are known for wearing an unadorned Protestant-style cross (not a crucifix) despite their practice of Catholicism. (I always wondered how the "worship police" in the Catholic radtrad community felt about that).

Sometimes Leavitt's cross goes missing for days, which makes its absence even more obvious, since the one she usually wears appears to be several times larger than McEnany's. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to why she doesn't wear it. My hope is that it's the result of a guilty conscience, but that's certainly wishful thinking on my part. Lately I've noticed that Leavitt has been wearing a much smaller cross similar to the one McEnany wears.

Is the "conspicuous cross" back? I noticed that it was missing the last few times I've seen Leavitt. It was a real LOL moment for me when she came out for her first press conference wearing that cross, because it was a little too big and obvious. It was like she was trying to outdo her predecessor (Kayleigh McEnemy...er...McEnany), who wore an understated and much smaller cross.

I keep hoping that Tom Tomorrow (This Modern World) will parody the "conspicuous cross" in one of his cartoons.
