Karoline Leavitt announced the birth of her daughter Viviana on May 1st — sharing the news as a joyful family milestone the way any new mother would — and within days the Consulate General of Iran issued an official response that stopped every American who read it completely cold.
Now on maternity leave she took her family to the Lincoln Memorial this week to see Trump’s new reflecting pool — posting photos of herself, her husband Nicholas and their children with the simple caption “absolutely stunning” — living her life with the same quiet confidence she brought to every single briefing room battle. The left attacked her for her Louis Vuitton gift. Iran attacked her for her newborn. And Karoline Leavitt responded to all of it the same way — by posting another family photo and going right back to being happy. Some people let the world’s reaction change who they are. Karoline Leavitt is not one of them.
