Karoline Leavitt Fires Back Hard After Hakeem Jeffries Calls Her a Liar

A viral video of Karoline Leavitt dismantling Hakeem Jeffries is making the rounds again on X.

The clip, which is gaining fresh traction on the social media platform, shows the former White House Press Secretary going directly after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat from New York. The confrontation stems from Jeffries calling Leavitt a “stone-cold liar,” a charge she did not let stand unchallenged.

As originally reported, Jeffries directed his criticism at Leavitt over her comments blaming Democrats for the shooting that occurred at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

Leavitt’s pointed response to the minority leader is what sent the video into viral territory, and it is now circulating again across X, drawing renewed attention to the exchange.

The back-and-forth captures the increasingly sharp tone between the White House and House Democratic leadership, with Leavitt showing little interest in walking back her position or softening her response to Jeffries’ public attack.
