Karoline Leavitt Criticized Over Remark about Joe Biden

Karoline Leavitt’s rise from a small-town ice cream shop to the White House as the youngest-ever U.S. press secretary has been striking. Once aspiring to be a journalist, she now stands as a bold Gen Z voice for conservatives—and a sharp critic of the media.

Recently, she sparked backlash with a jab at President Joe Biden, saying, “I was surprised he was speaking tonight—I thought his bedtime came long before that.” The comment, seen by many as disrespectful, quickly went viral and stirred controversy during Biden’s Social Security address.
