Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, is recognized for her razor-sharp rebuttals and polished political messaging.
She has become a master of spin and illusion, to the extent that President Donald Trump gave her the nickname “machine gun lips.”
This time, however, the controversy surrounding the 28-year-old isn’t about what she said, but about what she did.

Leavitt paused to boast about accompanying her boss on a work trip.
She shared a picture of herself boarding Marine One in a cream-toned pantsuit, featuring a short-sleeved blazer with white contrast trim, a snug white top, and matching tailored trousers.
The ensemble was finished with oversized square sunglasses, a gold chain, a neutral tote, a yellow folder, and a can of Celsius energy drink.
But while Leavitt appeared content with the polished look, a sizable portion of her Instagram followers did not seem impressed.
Most criticized her tight white camisole-style top and her snug trousers as she crossed the tarmac.
