Washington — What was supposed to be a routine White House press briefing turned into must-see television as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt clashed with reporters in a fiery meltdown that quickly went viral.
The drama unfolded when Leavitt faced a barrage of probing questions about the administration’s recent controversies. Instead of deflecting smoothly, she appeared to unravel. Her tone sharpened, her hands trembled, and her frustration was impossible to hide.
“Enough is enough!” she shouted at one journalist, slamming her hand on the podium. Gasps and murmurs filled the room as cameras captured every tense second.
Within moments, clips were plastered across social media, where users mocked the incident with memes and hashtags like #PressRoomBlowup. Some commentators compared the chaos to “a political reality show gone off the rails.”
Analysts say the incident raises serious concerns about Leavitt’s ability to manage the intense scrutiny that comes with the position. “The press secretary is the face of the administration,” said one expert. “When that face loses control, the whole White House takes the hit.”
Despite the outburst, Leavitt briefly returned later in the briefing, offering curt answers before abruptly leaving. The White House has remained silent, fueling speculation about whether her role is now in jeopardy.
