Karoline Leavitt Faces Backlash Over Biden Remark That Sparked National Debate
At just 27, Karoline Leavitt has become one of the youngest and most outspoken figures in conservative politics.
But her latest comment about former President Joe Biden is drawing sharp criticism.
Following Biden’s recent speech on Social Security, Leavitt quipped, “I’m shocked that he is speaking at nighttime. I thought his bedtime was much earlier.”
The comment, aimed at Biden’s age, quickly went viral and sparked backlash online.
Critics across social media called the remark “disrespectful,” “immature,” and “unprofessional,” with some even pointing out that Leavitt’s own husband is decades older than her.
Others, including some of her supporters, said the jab crossed a line.
While Leavitt did go on to highlight Trump’s commitment to protecting Social Security, her opening comment stole the spotlight and fueled debate about civility in politics.
Biden, meanwhile, used his speech to warn against efforts to weaken Social Security and emphasized unity, saying, “I love America. You love it too.”
As political tensions rise, Leavitt’s words remind us how one sentence can spark a national conversation.
