Former President Joe Biden made a rare public appearance this week to address Social Security and the White House secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was asked for a comment regarding Biden’s speech.
However, her answer sparked outrage with many dubbing her comment “rude” and “disgusting.”
“My first reaction when seeing former President Biden was speaking tonight was, I’m shocked that he is speaking at nighttime,” Leavitt said. “I thought his bedtime was much earlier than his speech tonight.”
Aiming at the former president’s age triggered backlash.
The press secretary, who is the youngest to have ever served the position, went on to discuss Trump’s stance on Social Security and speaking of his commitment to protecting it, it was her comment about Biden that has everyone talking.
“President Trump is absolutely certain about protecting Social Security benefits for law-abiding, tax-paying American citizens and seniors who have paid into this program,” she said.
“He will always protect this program. He campaigned on it,” she said and added: He protected it in his first term, and he’s back again to continue protecting it.”
As expected, Leavitt, who was a small-town girl before serving in the White House, faced intense criticism.
As a grand finale, Karoline Leavitt delivered one of the most SAVAGE mic drops of her career.

“No class at all. Shame on you. How old is your HUSBAND? You will be saying the same thing not far away,” one person commented, pointing out the 32-year-age gap between her and her real-estate mogul husband.
“Very rude. She’s talking about a former US President. He deserves at least respect!” another person wrote.
“Ok, so, although I do usually like her blunt nature, however, this was immature and disrespectful,” another added. “I did not care for President Biden, but he was still our President, and he is still a person.”
”Why do they always have to be so rude and condescending. Finger pointing name calling. You are there as the spokesperson. This isn’t an audition. Sick of this” someone else chimed in.
An Instagram user wrote, “She does a great job, but don’t think her comments are appropriate. Should be above that.”
Someone else added: “Karoline, you crossed the line!”
