White House press briefings have become bearable, dare we say, even enjoyable to watch again. After more than two tiresome years of listening to Karine Jean-Identity Hire’s incoherent ramblings from the press room podium as she perpetually gaslit and lied to the public on just about every issue, it’s a breath of fresh air to have a competent and articulate individual deliver information to the American people.
At age 27, Karoline Leavitt is the youngest White House press secretary in our nation’s history, and that fact only makes her ability to command a room full of biased, marauding media reporters that much more impressive. It’s no surprise that Leavitt is as prepared for the job as she is, though. Her previous work experience includes joining the last Trump administration’s White House press office as assistant press secretary under Kayleigh McEnany in 2019. Being mentored by one of modern history’s most effective women to hold this job is clearly paying off.
Beginning with her first briefing on January 29, she has established herself as honest and capable in the eyes of most of the country and confirmed that she was the right pick. The information she shared in that first meeting did not disappoint.
On day one, Leavitt got right to business, addressing many important issues. Among the first was the need to allow a broader range of media influencers into the briefing room since most news consumers get their information from nonconventional sources. The legacy media is a dying dinosaur, as the average age of today’s network TV watchers is above 60 years old.
As a member of Gen Z herself, Karoline understands the need to include podcasters and influencers from various platforms, like YouTube, Spotify, and TikTok, in these briefings. She extended the invitation for those who create content to apply for Press credentials, designating a seat in the front row of the press room for a select member of this new movement. This genius stroke is likely to keep entrenched reporters on their toes, as it gives those who are infinitely more popular than they are direct access to the mouthpiece of the White House. This foils their plans of pressing the information through their anti-Trump narrative filter before it reaches the eyes and ears of their vanishing audience.
She also called out the Jean-Pierre and others who have stood at the podium on behalf of the Biden administration, for the “lies that have been told to your faces in this very briefing room.” She courageously contrasted that by firmly planting the expectation of truth between herself and those in the room.
Per the recent and shocking revelations of wasteful spending within USAID, Karoline laid out a small list of the financial offenses committed by this organization. “These are some of the insane priorities that that same organization has been spending money on: $1.5 Million to advance DEI in Serbia’s workplaces, $70K for a production of a DEI musical in Ireland, $47K for a transgender opera in Columbia, $32K for a transgender comic book in Peru.” At the end of her list, she added, “I don’t know about you, but as an American taxpayer I don’t want my dollars going towards this crap and I know the American people don’t either.”
Just as impressive was her show of leadership during a recent press conference between the media and members of Congress. She stepped from behind the disorganized crowd and admonished, “Let’s act like adults here. They are generously offering their time to answer your questions. You don’t need to scream at them like a bunch of schoolchildren.”
When addressing Trump’s recent cutbacks of DEI programs that have swept across the nation in recent years, poisoning many agencies, rendering industries close to ineffective and dangerous in some cases, Leavitt asked reporters, “When you are flying on an airplane with your loved ones, do you pray that your plane lands safely, or do you pray that your pilot has a certain skin color?”
A question many have been asking from the onset of these DEI initiatives.
Along with her remarkable handling of a high-stress position and her skill in managing a crowd of many who are far older and more experienced than she is within the political landscape, Karoline is also a wife and mother to a seven-month-old son. That important part of her life inspires the young women who question their ability to pursue their dreams while raising a family.
To quote the title of the book written by Leavitt’s mentor, Kayleigh McEnany, Karoline seems to have been prepared “For Such a Time as This.”
