Karoline Leavitt’s scramble to defend ‘lazy’ attack on youth triggers MAGA backlash
"White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt scrambled Sunday to defend her recent comments attacking young Americans for being “raised with silver spoons in their mouths” and “getting everything handed to them,” but in doing so, only exacerbated MAGA’s outrage.
Speaking with Fox News’ Jesse Watters last week, Leavitt claimed that young Americans were suffering from "laziness" and characterized them as entitled. The remarks sparked outrage among critics across the political spectrum, many of whom noted Leavitt’s ascent to wealth as being connected to her marriage to millionaire real estate developer Nicholas Riccio, 32 years her senior.
On Sunday, Leavitt lashed out at critics as “bad faith actors” in a 404-word social media post and claimed her remarks were taken “out of context.” Her response did not go over well with right-wing critics."
