Karoline Leavitt Sparks Controversy Over French Luxury Bag
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is once again in the spotlightâthis time for a fashion choice that raised eyebrows. Over the weekend, she posted an Instagram photo that drew both praise and criticism.
A Sharp Remark Toward France
The controversy began with Leavittâs recent swipe at France. After a French politician suggested the Statue of Liberty should be returned, Leavitt fired back without hesitation.
âMy advice to that unnamed low-level French politician would be to remind them that itâs only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now,â she said. âThey should be very grateful to our great country.â
Her blunt comment made waves online. But it wasnât just her words that stirred the pot.
Louis Vuitton Bag Raises Eyebrows
In the photo, Leavitt appeared holding a Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM toteâa $2,030 luxury handbag from one of Franceâs most iconic brands.
The irony didnât escape some viewers.
âWhy have a Louis Vuitton bag if everything from France is so bad????â one commenter asked.
Despite the criticism, her supporters quickly came to her defense.

Supporters Applaud Her Style and Message
One fan wrote:
âAbsolutely stunning representation of our country! Thank you for standing with President Trump!â
Another commented:
âWow, Karoline, you look fantastic. Itâs good to see such professionalism in action.â
A third added:
âYoung, intelligent, and absolutely stunning. Itâs so refreshing to see!â
Family Time Over Online Drama
At just 27, Leavitt remains the youngest White House Press Secretary in U.S. history. Though critics often question her age and experience, she seems undeterred.
Instead of engaging in online arguments, she spent the weekend with her son. She shared a sweet photo of them baking together, captioned:
âSunday morning muffins with my sous chef.â
Later, she posted another moment of joyâher toddler in a stroller pushed by his great-grandmother, with the caption:
âNiko being pushed by his great grandma!â
Staying Focused Amid the Noise
While the internet debates handbags and politics, Leavitt continues focusing on her duties in the White Houseâand on her life as a young mother.
