During a White House press briefing in January 2025, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about concerns that former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard — who had recently joined the Trump administration — might leak classified information.
Her response? Calm, direct, and viral:
“The only people suggesting Tulsi would leak evidence are the ones in this room… and it’s not working.”
That moment, captured on video, exploded online — racking up over 1.5 million views and turning into one of Karoline’s most talked-about takedowns of the mainstream press.
