She didn't. Did you watch long enough to see her confuse President Trump with her husband towards the end?

Probably the only time in White House history that a press secretary ended a press briefing after calling on only three reporters.

I'm just now seeing the China video. Yikes. I have secondhand embarrassment. Poor girl ordered her exam from TEMU.

Just watched the full thing. I think I need a drink… Is she related to Biden?

Whoa. That was bad.
I couldn’t watch the whole thing.
Even the scripted part was painful.

Yup. That fumble is the one which sunk her.

The state in which she passed the bar is "when I went to China"??? Then she repeated the exact same nonsensical answer.

I feel sorry for her in that she was pushed into the spotlight too quickly without adequate preparation...but she simply can't think on her feet quickly enough to be an effective press secretary.

She was an embarrassment. Even the Whoe House acknowledged that it wasn’t a great debut.
Will she last longer than Scarramuchi?

For nostalgia and comparison, here was Karoline Leavitt's first press conference:

He's been a good sport about it. He's even made his tenure a measure of time: 11 days = 1 Scaramucci.

I didn't see that. She was exceptionally skillful at management.

I thought she was really good at not having to lie. Like this instance regarding Trump’s whooper about his uncle:

Yea, I guess I'm just not into rewarding politician talk. I prefer more honesty and candor.

Why does this fascinate you so much? It's the White House Press Secretary position. You have successfully drug this topic out for 9 freaking pages and have beat the horse to death, revived it and beat it to death again.

I literally have never seen a high profile White House appointee set themselves on fire so spectacularly on their first day.

I dug into lots of stuff that I didn't post, because I know people aren't as interested as I am. For instance, she claims she was "General Counsel" for a California company. She might have opened herself up for prosecution by CALIFORNIA of all jurisdictions.

“ Nobody will ever compare to Leavitt.”(quote ST).

What is it, 30 minutes a day? Let Stephen Miller walk out there and slash, burn and take no prisoners. Cake for him. And good advertising for the Mids.
