White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently sparked controversy after criticizing France for a politician’s suggestion to return the Statue of Liberty.
Leavitt reminded critics that the U.S. helped free France during World War II, urging them to be grateful.
However, her comments drew attention not only for their bluntness but also because she was seen carrying a \$2,030 Louis Vuitton handbag, a luxury French brand, leading to accusations of hypocrisy.
Supporters defended her professionalism and praised her stance.
At 27, Leavitt is the youngest White House Press Secretary and chooses to focus on her work and family rather than online debates. Over the weekend, she shared warm moments baking with her son and spending time with family, showing a personal side amid the political controversy.
