In an article for some reason written like this is supposed to be a flex and that she’s “over the target” or some shit, Fox News reports that White House Press Secretary Karoline “Blondi” Leavitt has in under two months already hit an achievement one of her predecessors, Jen Psaki, didn’t even reach in two years: Full blown fact-check articles on Politifact, for which Leavitt has three to Psaski’s two.
“Karoline Leavitt has already surpassed one of her Biden predecessors in total number of PolitiFact fact-checks after just two months in office. On Thursday, PolitiFact issued Leavitt her latest fact-check over her statement, ‘Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people.’ PolitiFact rated it ‘False’ with chief correspondent Louis Jacobson writing that ‘virtually all economists’ have characterized tariffs as ‘tax hikes rather than tax cuts.’ This marked Leavitt’s third PolitiFact fact-check since beginning her tenure as press secretary in January, which officially put her ahead of former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki’s entire record of fact-checks on the site,” Fox writes as if this were a real achievement. It’s not even clear how it’s an “owning the libtards” achievement.
