Karoline Leavitt has been showing off her plump pout in a new social media photo after being branded a ‘b—h’ by comedian Bill Maher
Karoline Leavitt showcased her full lips in a recent social media post following an insulting label she received over the weekend. The 28 year old White House press secretary posted a picture of herself on November 23 that was initially shared by a supporter’s account. In the photograph, she gazes directly into the lens wearing a sophisticated jacket, crimson nail varnish and understated cosmetics.
The image prominently features her lips while her hair falls in soft waves. The fan account captioned the Instagram post, “Young Republican conservative mother wife of Generation Z. Follow us if you support the youngest White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt.”
This follows Karoline’s admission that she was reduced to tears after publishing an ambiguous social media update, reports the Mirror US. Karoline reposted the image to her own Instagram Stories, adding only a red heart emoji. Karoline frequently shares photographs of herself on social media – with her most recent upload featuring a snapshot from the press briefing she conducted at the White House on November 20.
This development follows comedian Bill Maher’s scathing criticism of the youngest-ever White House press secretary, calling her a “b—h” after she defended Trump’s controversial comment to a journalist aboard Air Force One.
The president faced widespread backlash after telling Bloomberg News correspondent Catherine Lucey, “Quiet, piggy,” but Karoline sought to justify the remark during her press briefing last week.
When a female journalist from the press pool asked, “What did the president mean when he called a reporter ‘piggy?'” Karoline offered an extensive explanation. “Look, the president is very frank and honest with everyone in this room,” the 28 year old responded.
“You have all experienced it yourself, and I think it is one of the many reasons the American people re-elected this president, because of his frankness.”
Steering away from the core question, Karoline added, “And he calls out fake news when he sees it. He gets frustrated with reporters when you lie about him, when you spread fake news about him and his administration. But he also is the most transparent president in history.”
During Friday’s episode of his Real Time show, Bill lambasted Karoline for her defense of Trump. The outspoken comedian opened by noting, “Trump is very touchy about the Epstein thing,” before addressing the “quiet, piggy” exchange.
He went on, “And then, listen to this, at the press conference the next day, his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, spun this by saying it’s actually admirable. She said it’s the president being frank and open and honest, that’s good!” Brutally concluding, he said, “Well, in that case, shut up, b—h.”
Last week, Karoline opened up about the three-decade age difference between herself and her husband, Nicholas Riccio. The rising Republican star joined Pod Force One with Miranda Devine for an honest conversation covering both her professional career and private life.
During the episode, Karoline faced direct questioning when Miranda pointedly asked, “Could you not find boys your own age, who are as mature?”.
Appearing completely comfortable with the question, Karoline laughed before responding, “Honestly, no, if you want to know the truth.”
She acknowledged, though, that their relationship is “very unusual.”
She also revealed to the podcast host that her parents initially had reservations about the age difference when she and Riccio started dating, but their perspective shifted “once they got to know him.”
Karoline elaborated, “But then, of course, once they got to know him and saw who he is as a man, and his character and how much he adores me, I think it became quite easy for them. And now we’re all friends. I mean, it’s a typical family relationship.”
She continued, “My husband has such respect for my parents and the way that they raised me, and we all have a lot of fun together when they come to visit.”
This follows Karoline’s ‘weak’ admission about the 32-year age difference with her husband.
