In a fiery moment at a White House press briefing, 27-year-old Karoline Leavitt, the Trump administration’s press secretary, clashed with NBC News’ Peter Alexander over the administration’s controversial immigration policies.
Alexander challenged Leavitt on the scope of recent deportations, questioning whether non-criminal migrants were being targeted despite promises to focus on violent offenders.
Leavitt defended the administration’s stance, asserting that any undocumented immigrant was a criminal by definition. Her confident response left Alexander momentarily speechless, highlighting her rising influence within the administration.
This exchange solidified Leavitt’s reputation as a skilled communicator, able to handle tough media scrutiny with poise. As a young and assertive voice in the Trump administration, Leavitt’s performance signals her potential as a key player in Republican politics.
