Today’s post is old news by now, but, dang, Karoline Leavitt, President Trump’s new Press Secretary, really impressed me. She is razor sharp and fast—a world of difference from the diversity hire we had under the last president. Turns out that being a black lesbian doesn’t automatically qualify you to field questions from reporters.
What I also appreciate about Leavitt is that she’s not just some blonde bimbo. Yes, she’s easy on the eyes, but she’s conventionally attractive, not some kind of bombshell, which is what we usually see in conservative media (the regrettable influence of Fox News). Instead, she has the brains needed to provide thorough, feisty press briefings.
