Karoline Leavitt under fire for “disgusting” comment about Joe Biden
At just 27, Karoline Leavitt has quickly risen from small-town life in New Hampshire to become the bold and outspoken press secretary of the Trump campaign. Once an aspiring journalist, she is now one of the strongest Gen Z voices in conservative politics.
Recently, Leavitt sparked major backlash for a comment aimed at former President Joe Biden. When asked about his speech on Social Security, she said, “I’m shocked that he is speaking at nighttime. I thought his bedtime was much earlier.” The remark, perceived as ageist, went viral and drew criticism for being “rude” and “disrespectful.”
Although she later emphasized Trump’s commitment to protecting Social Security, the damage was done. Social media users slammed her lack of professionalism, with even some supporters saying she crossed the line.
Biden, meanwhile, used the event to warn about Republican proposals that could threaten Social Security, calling them irresponsible. He defended his administration’s efforts to improve the system and criticized Trump-era policies and recent layoffs at the Social Security Administration.
As Biden reenters the spotlight and debates over Social Security intensify, Leavitt’s sharp comments continue to stir controversy — raising the question: bold honesty or disrespect? Either way, she’s making headlines.
