Humiliated Karoline Leavitt abruptly cuts short press conference and runs away

Story by Falyn Stempler • 6h • 3 min read


White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt unexpectedly ended a news conference Wednesday after addressing the government Houthi attack plan leak for the first time.

Speaking to reporters in the afternoon, she said: "Speaking of the vice president, I hear he's going to be speaking any moment now, I would hate to counter-program the vice president of the United States.

"You will also hear from the president at 3 [p.m.] honoring women's history.... and then you'll also hear from the president again at 4 [p.m.] when he talks about tariffs so, plenty of time for more questions. Sorry it's a bit shorter today, guys," she added before walking away from the podium.


The conference, which was the first held since the massive Signal war plans scandal, lasted slightly under 25 minutes. She spoke for under 10 minutes before fielding a handful of questions from reporters then abruptly leaving.

A handful of viewers noticed her sudden departure on X.

"Karoline Leavitt got scared and just ran off the stage after getting grilled by reporters about the signal chat," one user wrote...........

I've never heard her before. What a waste of space and time. She was shrieking about Pres. Biden and Jeffrey Goldberg like the insane MAGA Barbie she is.

She made Sarah Huck look good.

Leavitt: “There were certainly no war plans discussed.”

Hegseth literally posted A TIMELINE of the bombing.

Is Karoline Leavitt stupid or does she think we’re all stupid?

She comes across as a dictator to the country.
Telling us how to think is like Bob saying there are no tanks while over his shoulder are tanks.
The Ministry of Propaganda is what I get from her.

HUMiliation requires HUMan awareness.

She's just a rat running away from danger.

13. The scandal within this scandal is the use of Signal itself

The Whitehouse approving the Signal app for communications should be the real scandal here.

The app will allow them to break the Federal Records Act. They are communicating in a manner that allows the chats to expire and be deleted after a set time. Therefore their meetings, discussions and decisions will not be preserved to be archived as required by law

This is by design and on top of all of that, The NSA issued a bulletin in February specifically about the Signal app and its known exploits and vulnerabilities warning that is was not to be used for government communications let alone to hold sensitive discussions about classified material

The fact that they are using the app at all should be a bigger part of this scandal but is barely being talked about by anyone

This was part of the Project 2025 playbook not communicating in a way that their comms could be preserved so it was part of their plan to openly defy the records act and avoid the archiving of their crimes
