MSNBC Host Critiques Karoline Leavitt's 'Ashen' Look Post-Putin Summit
EXCLUSIVE: Karoline Leavitt's Alaskan Disaster - Did Trump's White House Press Secretary Have a Meltdown After Meeting with Putin?
In a shocking revelation, MSNBC host Antonia Hylton has dropped a bombshell on the nation's capital, suggesting that Karoline Leavitt, the 27-year-old White House Press Secretary, looked like she had seen a ghost after emerging from Donald Trump's high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. The drama unfolded during Saturday night's episode of MSNBC's The Weekend: Primetime, where Hylton and her co-hosts dished out all the juicy details about Friday's summit.
The tension was palpable as Hylton discussed the meeting with guest Michael McFaul, a former US Ambassador to Russia under Barack Obama. It seemed that Leavitt's skin had turned a sickly shade of pale gray, almost as if she had been through a war herself. "A lot of the press corps that were there reported in the minutes and hours after the presser that they saw members of the administration, like Karoline Leavitt, look ashen, almost frightened after what they had seen behind closed doors," Hylton revealed.
The audience was left wondering: What could have triggered such a reaction from the usually poised and composed White House Press Secretary? McFaul, ever the diplomat, tactfully suggested that maybe Leavitt's appearance said it all - that the summit was a bigger disaster than Trump and his team were letting on. "We should all be glad that we did not go to Alaska," he quipped.
The co-hosts' discussion came after Putin and Trump's ill-fated meeting, which has been widely panned as a PR nightmare for America. While Trump touted the summit as a resounding success, claiming to have made "a lot of progress" with his Russian counterpart, many experts disagree. By adopting Putin's position on Ukraine, Trump essentially ceded control to Russia, abandoning any hopes of a ceasefire in favor of a far-off peace deal.
The White House Press Secretary's gaffe was only the beginning of the summit's many mishaps. Days prior to the meeting, Leavitt had to clean up Trump's mess after he twice falsely claimed that he was planning to visit Putin in Russia. "Perhaps there are plans in the future to travel to Russia and on Friday the president will be meeting with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, in Alaska," she said, trying to spin the narrative.
But the damage was done. Trump had already let the cat out of the bag, stating during a press conference that he would indeed be traveling to Russia: "You know, I'm going to see Putin. I'm going to Russia on Friday." And when asked about it again, he made it clear: "We're going to Russia. That's going to be a big deal." It was a verbal slip-up that left many wondering if Trump had finally lost his grip on reality.
TheScholarlyNote.com has learned that the White House is still reeling from the aftermath of the summit, with insiders hinting at a power struggle between Trump and his team. As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Karoline Leavitt's Alaskan adventure will be remembered for years to come as one of the most cringe-worthy moments in White House history.
