White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt faced mockery on Wednesday after another apparent slip-up during a press briefing.

Leavitt stated that President Donald Trump is “committed to passing a big reconciliation package later this year,” which includes “ending no taxes on tips.”

Leavitt says Trump is committed to "ending no taxes on tips"

Critics quickly seized on the phrase, interpreting it as an accidental double negative that contradicted Trump’s 2024 election campaign promise to nix taxes on tips. Trump is yet to implement the policy.

Leavitt on Monday drew similar mockery after she accidentally claimed the Department of Justice will focus on “fighting law and order” when “fighting for law and order” was likely what she meant.

Hmm. It’s almost as if she’s completely unprepared and grossly incompetent.

I prefer this to someone that has to have a book to flip through and cannot hold basic information in her head without it... Missing one word in a sentence? I can live with that.

Not missing. A double negative. It wasn't cause she was black was it?

We're not desperate. #TRE45ONv2.0 is a gold mine of negativity, incompetence, dishonesty, bullying, and stupidity.

Difference in the amount of times that she has tried to shake hands with ghosts, looked at walls for exits, and had to be led away by the Easter Bunny so he wouldn't talk to the press.

Again, I can live with this... far better than binder girl. Though I will say she did grow into the office. I think Leavitt started at a sprint and will far surpass binder girl.

Of course you can. Trump and co can do no wrong in your world.

I liked when she got mad at a reporter for "questioning her intelligence" because she continued to repeat the lie about what a tariff is.

He had a stutter since childhood. Such lame attempts.
