Joy Behar Under Fire for Controversial Remarks About White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

Joy Behar is under fire for suggesting that Karoline Leavitt, the newly appointed White House Press Secretary, was chosen for her looks rather than her qualifications.

On The View, Behar quipped, “She’s probably been put in there because, according to Donald Trump, she’s a 10,” sparking criticism for undermining Leavitt’s experience.

Defending Leavitt’s Credentials

Former Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin pushed back, emphasizing that Leavitt earned her role through hard work.

Meanwhile, Whoopi Goldberg criticized Leavitt’s stance on “wokeness”, arguing that civil rights movements helped pave the way for women in politics.

Leavitt’s Media Shake-Up

Leavitt’s first press briefing introduced major media policy changes, including:
🔹 New media representatives gaining dedicated seats.
🔹 Restoration of 440 press credentials revoked under Biden.
🔹 Commitment to holding traditional media accountable.

While The View hosts questioned the credibility of alternative media, Leavitt’s supporters see her reforms as a step toward greater press transparency.
