White House Press Secretary Draws Fire Over Bold Statement—But It’s Her Handbag That Stole the Spotlight
White House Press Secretary Karine Leavitt stirred controversy with a fiery remark aimed at an unnamed French politician, saying:
“My advice to that unnamed low-level French politician would be to remind them that it’s only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now, so they should be very grateful to our great country.”
Her comment quickly went viral, sparking a flurry of reactions online. But it wasn’t just her patriotic jab that got people talking—it was her choice of fashion in a photo she posted to Instagram.
Luxury Look, Heated Debate
In the image, Leavitt is seen carrying a Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM tote—an iconic handbag from the very country she criticized. Retailing at around $2,030, the French luxury accessory raised some eyebrows.
Critics called out what they saw as an ironic fashion choice. One user questioned,
“Why carry a Louis Vuitton bag if everything from France is so bad?”
Still, Leavitt’s post drew plenty of praise as well. Admirers applauded both her appearance and poise, calling her a “class act” and “a stunning representative of our nation.”
“It’s good to see such professionalism in action,” one follower wrote.

At just 27, Karine Leavitt has made history as the youngest person ever to serve as White House Press Secretary—a role that puts her in the national spotlight daily. While critics have questioned her age and experience, Leavitt seems unfazed, gracefully balancing the demands of high-profile politics with the joys of motherhood.
Rather than addressing the latest online chatter head-on, Leavitt took a softer approach—offering a glimpse into her home life. Over the weekend, she shared a series of heartwarming Instagram posts that resonated with many.
One showed her toddler helping in the kitchen, playfully captioned:
“Sunday morning muffins with my sous chef.”
Another captured a sweet family moment, her son Niko being pushed in a stroller by his great-grandmother, with the caption:
“Niko being pushed by his great grandma!”
While the internet continues to debate handbags and headlines, Leavitt reminds followers that behind the podium is a young woman deeply rooted in both duty and family.
