After the “Your mom” comment, Leavitt posted private messages — and the internet went wild

The controversy surrounding White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has taken a dramatic new turn.

Just days after going viral for her sarcastic “Your mom” reply to a reporter asking about the Trump–Putin meeting in Budapest, Leavitt made a move that many described as reckless —

she publicly posted a screenshot of her private conversation with HuffPost reporter S.V. Dáte. And with that, she reignited the storm even stronger than before.

How it all started Reporter S.V. Dáte asked a legitimate question: “Is the president aware of the historical significance of Budapest? In 1994, Russia promised there not to invade Ukraine if it gave up its nuclear weapons. Who suggested Budapest?” Leavitt’s response was short and stunning: “Your mom did.” When the journalist asked if she found that funny, Leavitt doubled down with a personal attack: “It’s funny that you actually consider yourself a journalist. You’re a far-left hack nobody takes seriously.” The exchange quickly went viral — but instead of damage control, Leavitt decided to escalate.

She posted it herself — and added fuel On October 20, Leavitt herself shared the screenshot of the conversation on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption: “For context, S.V. Dáte from Huffington Post isn’t a journalist interested in facts. He’s a left-wing activist who’s been attacking President Trump for years and bombarding me with Democrat talking points.” Her post immediately blew up again. Users on X, Reddit, and other platforms accused her of violating professional ethics and acting “childishly.”

Internet reactions: “Childish bullies in suits” Public comments flooded in: 💬 “They’re everything we teach our kids not to be. If this comes from the highest office, it’s a national embarrassment.”

💬 “Immature bullies in adult bodies making fart jokes — this is our political discourse now.”

💬 “Can you imagine talking to business partners this way? It’s insane.” Others contrasted Leavitt’s tone with previous press secretaries who maintained a professional image even in heated debates.

A deliberate communication strategy? Analysts say this could be part of Trump’s broader media strategy. His team has increasingly used humor, provocation, and irony to dominate online attention.

“In modern politics, one viral quote can flip the entire media cycle,” said one Washington communications expert. “Even negative publicity keeps Trump’s circle in control of the narrative.”

The White House stays silent The White House has not issued any official comment. Leavitt hasn’t apologized — instead, she keeps reposting supportive messages praising her as a “woman who speaks truth to power.” Critics, however, argue that this blurs the line between confidence and arrogance, reflecting a deeper shift in U.S. political culture.

From one joke to a political symbol What started as a sarcastic one-liner has evolved into a symbol of the modern communication era.

Leavitt’s “Your mom” isn’t just a viral joke anymore — it’s a case study in how humor, mockery, and propaganda now intersect in official politics. Whether it was spontaneous or calculated, one thing is certain:

Two words were all it took for a press secretary to become the most talked-about figure of the week.
