Karoline Leavitt strongly disapproves of "individuals who are putting their middle finger, proudly so, at the camera..."

Leavitt was criticizing protests against the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement actions in Minnesota when she held up an image showing demonstrators standing beside a damaged car bearing the graffiti “Fuck ICE.”

“You have these individuals who are putting their middle finger, proudly so, at the camera,” Leavitt noted.

Critics were quick to point out the irony, noting that her boss, President Donald Trump, was caught on camera just days earlier flipping off a heckling autoworker and twice telling him, “Fuck you.”

“Who wants to tell her?” one commenter asked on X, formerly Twitter.

Do you think they have a sash that says, "Miss Information" that they pass down to each new press secretary?

They really should....

They would probably wear it proudly thinking it was a compliment....
