The insult, made during a heated debate on President Trump’s tariff policy, triggered immediate backlash. Leavitt didn’t hold back, firing back with a fierce rebuttal that stunned viewers.

The reporter questioned whether the administration’s tariffs contradicted Trump’s earlier tax-cut promises. Leavitt hit back hard, defending tariffs as tax breaks on foreign exploitation, not Americans. “Dude, what are you discussing?” she snapped. “They’re not tax hikes!”

Leavitt’s bold defense reinforced the administration’s commitment to “America First” policies, sparking viral praise online for her composure and clarity.
