The White House has released a short video of Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praying before, as one social media personality said, “going to the den of wolves.”
“This is what I voted for,” said one, with others adding, “Very cool” and “Thank you @PressSec. Christ is King.”
She said, “Lord Jesus, please give us the strength, the knowledge, the ability to articulate our words, and have fun and be confident in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Leavitt is the youngest ever White House press secretary but already has a solid reputation for putting reporters, often senior to her, in their place when they offer leading questions or try to manipulate her answers.
She was in the press office during Trump’s first term, and worked on his 2024 campaign, the Gateway Pundit said.
She was on maternity leave for the birth of her first child when Trump was shot in the ear during a campaign event in Butler, Pa., in July 2024, and she immediately ended her leave to return to the campaign.
