Leavitt’s Instagram Post Sparks Mixed Reactions
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt grabbed headlines again—this time for a fashion choice that some called out as ironic. Over the weekend, she posted a photo on Instagram that drew both applause and criticism.
Sharp Words for France
The controversy began with Leavitt’s blunt response to a French politician. After he suggested France should reclaim the Statue of Liberty, Leavitt fired back.
“It’s only because of the United States that the French aren’t speaking German,” she said. “They should be grateful to our great country.”
Her remarks went viral. Supporters cheered, while others jumped into the debate. But it wasn’t just her words that drew attention.

The Designer Bag Debate
Eagle-eyed viewers quickly noticed Leavitt’s accessory in the photo—a $2,030 Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM tote, made by a French luxury brand. Critics didn’t miss the contradiction.
“Why carry a Louis Vuitton if France is so awful?” one commenter asked.
Still, many followers praised her look and her message. One user called her a “stunning representation of our country.” Another wrote, “Young, intelligent, and absolutely stunning.”
Family Time Over Online Drama
At just 27, Leavitt is the youngest White House Press Secretary in history. While her age often draws scrutiny, she stays focused on what matters.
Instead of diving into online arguments, she spent her weekend baking muffins with her toddler. She captioned one photo:
“Sunday morning muffins with my sous chef.”
She later shared another family moment—her son being pushed in a stroller by his great-grandmother. Her caption read:
“Niko being pushed by his great grandma!”
Staying Grounded
While critics dissect her bag and words, Leavitt appears unfazed. She continues balancing a high-profile job with quiet moments at home, proving that sometimes, actions speak louder than handbags.
