Jon Stewart’s savage necklace joke goes viral as Karoline Leavitt reportedly ditches the bling in response

Karoline Leavitt, a rising Republican figure and White House press secretary, is back in the spotlight. Karoline apparently was seen without her usual cross necklace after Jon Stewart mocked it during a "Daily Show" segment.

What did Jon Stewart say about the necklace?

Daily Show host Jon Stewart made fun of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. "By the way, I believe her cross grows larger the more she lies,” Stewart said in a jab at Leavitt on Monday night. Is that feasible?

Stewart joked that her cross grows with each lie, comparing it to "some sort of weird Pinocchio cross," as per a report by The Independent.


Leavitt is probably "the only one" who will be able to exit the administration "unscathed," the host added. He doesn't believe she has any morals left to live by.

Stewart went on to express his lack of anger towards this woman, pointing out that the only way to be happy working for President Trump is to adapt to the circumstances.

Donald Trump has always made it clear that he has no interest in or belief in any policy issue. “He wants only money,” he stated, as per a report by The Independent.

Did Karoline Leavitt respond to the mockery?

She has not directly responded but was spotted without her traditional necklace. The sighting sparked online chatter about whether it was a coincidence or a quiet reaction to public mockery.

Despite not wearing her trademark jewelry, Leavitt showed up for her briefing on Tuesday wearing a navy blazer.

What’s the controversy around her past comments?

Critics claim White House Press secretary Karoline Leavitt was dishonest about a deportation case, raising concerns about her public image and integrity.

Earlier this year, Leavitt, 27, told the Christian Broadcasting Network that she places a great deal of importance on her faith, particularly in a role that is both controversial and demanding.

She stated that it could be challenging for someone who doesn't have faith, but with faith, everything is possible, as per a report by The Independent

Leavitt came under fire in April for her remarks about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was unintentionally deported to El Salvador earlier this year.

She tried to link Garcia to the 2023 assault and killing of a woman in Maryland, whose murderer was found guilty that same month. Regarding Garcia, Leavitt declared, "He will never again reside in the United States."

On The New Abnormal podcast, Andy Levy stated that Leavitt violated the ninth commandment of not bearing false witness by repeatedly claiming that Garcia was a member of the MS 13 gang and that this was an immigration court finding.
