Karoline Leavitt’s stunning takedown of GMA’s Michael Strahan earns her another nickname
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has earned a new nickname from her fanbase after a heated exchange with Good Morning America host Michael Strahan.
Leavitt caught Strahan off guard during an interview on Wednesday as she defended President Donald Trump‘s efforts to force federal government workers back into their offices in Washington, DC.
Strahan expressed concerns that government doctors and scientists would leave their jobs in the federal government rather than return to work five days a week in their offices.
‘Is there any concern that we risk losing people with years of experience like doctors and let’s say, scientists?’ he asked.
Leavitt shot back: ‘Well most doctors who work in actual hospitals and medical institutions have to show up in the office.’
Fans of Leavitt rallied to her support, describing her as the ‘grim reaper’ for newscasters like Strahan, a former NFL player for the New York Giants.
‘Karoline Leavitt just took another soul on live TV,’ wrote one supporter on X, sharing video of the exchange. ‘She’s like the fake news’ grim reaper.’
Video of the exchange went viral on social media, earning more than three million views.
‘Stone-cold killer. Will reach legend status,’ wrote social media user JoeT.
