Karoline Leavitt Faces Backlash Over Comment on Joe Biden’s Nighttime Speech
Karoline Leavitt, the youngest White House Press Secretary in U.S. history, has recently come under fire for a comment about former President Joe Biden's nighttime speech. The remark, perceived by many as disrespectful, has ignited a wave of criticism across social media platforms.
While discussing Biden's appearance at a national conference hosted by the Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled (ACRD) in Chicago, Leavitt remarked,
"My first reaction when seeing former President Biden was speaking tonight was, I’m shocked that he is speaking at nighttime. I thought his bedtime was much earlier than his speech tonight."
This comment, seemingly aimed at Biden's age, quickly garnered attention online.
The response from the public has been swift and critical. Many have labeled Leavitt's remark as "rude" and "disrespectful," emphasizing that regardless of political affiliation, former presidents deserve a certain level of respect.
One social media user commented,
"No class at all. Shame on you. How old is your husband? You will be saying the same thing not far away."
Another stated,
"Very rude. She’s talking about a former US President. He deserves at least respect!"
Even some of Leavitt's supporters expressed disappointment, with one noting,
"She does a great job, but don’t think her comments are appropriate. Should be above that."
Following the backlash, Leavitt attempted to redirect the conversation towards policy, emphasizing President Trump's commitment to protecting Social Security benefits for American citizens and seniors. However, her initial comment remained the focal point of the discussion.
Karoline Leavitt's recent comment about Joe Biden has sparked significant controversy, highlighting the challenges public figures face in balancing candidness with respect. As the youngest White House Press Secretary, Leavitt's words carry weight, and this incident serves as a reminder of the impact of political discourse on public perception.
