Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, was accused of being a “propagandist” and a “liar” after her latest statement to journalists on Wednesday (18).
“I just have one quick statistic that I found fascinating, and it’s obviously true because I’m saying it up here,” Karoline Leavitt said in a portion of her remarks.
The statement sparked widespread backlash among internet users, who immediately questioned the truthfulness of the press secretary’s words.
“‘It’s obviously true because I’m saying it up here’ — professional propagandist and hired liar, Karoline Leavitt,” fumed one profile on X, formerly Twitter.
“Every single day it’s a Saturday Night Live sketch with these idiots. I can’t take it,” complained another.
“The chances that anything coming out of her mouth is true are really low,” lamented a third.
Karoline Leavitt has been involved in several awkward moments since the beginning of 2026.
In early February, the press secretary reportedly endorsed a statement by Donald Trump about disregarding the U.S. Constitution.
“The president believes in the Constitution of the United States; however, he believes that there was obviously a lot of fraud and irregularities that occurred in the American elections,” she said.
