White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt drew accusations of blatant hypocrisy on Thursday over a complaint she raised during a press briefing.
Leavitt was criticizing protests against the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement actions in Minnesota when she held up an image showing demonstrators standing beside a damaged car bearing the graffiti “Fuck ICE.”
“You have these individuals who are putting their middle finger, proudly so, at the camera,” Leavitt noted.
Critics were quick to point out the irony, noting that her boss, President Donald Trump, was caught on camera just days earlier flipping off a heckling autoworker and twice telling him, “Fuck you.”
“Who wants to tell her?” one commenter asked on X, formerly Twitter.
