Karoline Leavitt, the uncompromising and fearless White House Press Secretary, is stepping down at the end of August to focus on her family, and it seems her departure has unearthed some unexpected admiration even from the mainstream press, who are typically no friends of the Trump-Vance administration. But not everyone is joining the chorus of praise—Fox News commentator Jessica Tarlov is fuming over the farewell accolades.
Tarlov, known for her left-leaning views, openly criticized Leavitt, accusing her of dodging questions, attacking people, and spreading untruths from the White House podium. According to a tweet from @trump_supp, Tarlov's bitter critique was that Karoline was evading her responsibilities, a stance that reflects her long-standing disapproval of the Trump administration's figures. The tweet also noted, "Tarlov has always been bitter. Read more"
On social media, the backlash against Tarlov's grumbling was swift. While Leavitt has not always been in the media's good graces—often sparring with reporters during her tenure—her professionalism and dedication did not go unnoticed. Even some of her usual critics begrudgingly admit her skillful handling of the press corps. Yet Tarlov remains dismissive, as highlighted in another tweet by @Amanakkine, "Jessica Tarlov just broke down a sample of statements Karoline Leavitt made from the White House podium that she says don’t hold up. Full breakdown here."
A piece by PJ Media, also shared on Twitter, captured the essence of Tarlov's frustration: "Awww — Jessica Tarlov Is Mad at Media Praise for Karoline Leavitt. Read more." But despite the detractors, Karoline Leavitt leaves her post amid appreciation not commonly bestowed upon anyone associated with the administration.
Folks, this pushback against a successful conservative woman is nothing new. Patriots know the media can't stand when one of our own stands tall and delivers results with integrity. The question remains: will the media ever show the same honesty in covering both sides? As Leavitt steps away, perhaps it's time for the Tarlovs of the world to reflect on their biased narratives. What's their real grievance here—a strong, effective communicator who didn’t fit their ideological mold?
