White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt fired back at a “pitiful” Democrat who called her a “fake Christian.”
Freshman Rep. Dave Min of California posted his insult on the X platform, leading Leavitt to respond in a short interview with the New York Post.
“I think it’s pitiful for an elected member of Congress to say that about a woman who he’s never even met,” she told the outlet.
Min’s comments were made in response to the White House rescinding an Office of Management and Budget memo that had ordered a freeze on all federal grants and loans contradicting Trump’s executive orders.
A federal judge blocked the OMB guidance on January 28, but Leavitt clarified that while the memo was revoked, the policy prohibiting federal funding for DEI and other progressive initiatives remained firmly in place.
