Social Media Reacts As Karoline Leavitt’s “Excuse Me” Seems Intentionally Aimed At One Voice

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt exhibited a notable loss of composure during a press briefing on Monday, seemingly choosing her moment intentionally. The incident unfolded shortly after a federal judge invalidated two significant indictments linked to the administration, creating a charged atmosphere among reporters. As journalists grilled her regarding U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie's dismissal of cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, veteran journalist April Ryan shouted a question. Leavitt abruptly responded, insisting, “Excuse me, I’m answering a question,” after turning towards Ryan.Video clips of the exchange circulated widely on social media, eliciting mixed reactions from viewers, some criticizing Leavitt's demeanor while others supported her stance. Following her terse interaction with Ryan, Leavitt addressed inquiries about the ongoing Ukraine War, later re-engaging Ryan about the implications of the judge’s ruling on accountability within the administration. The court's decisions have sparked substantial debate regarding legal authority and prosecutorial misconduct.
