White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shares texts with reporter after viral ‘your mom did’ exchange
- On 10/21/2025, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt went viral after HuffPost revealed her Monday text reply `Your mom did` to HuffPost correspondent S.V. D�te's question.
- The exchange began when a reporter questioned the president's choice of meeting site with Vladimir Putin, referencing HuffPost's S.V. D�te asking whether the president recognizes Budapest's 1994 security pledge to Ukraine and why Ukraine might object to that site.
- In a public thread on X, HuffPost's S.V. D�te responded with a lengthy thread defending his work and alleging `Trump is not 'conservative' or 'liberal' or any of that. He is a conman and, now, a criminal`,
- White House Communications Director Steven Cheung echoed Leavitt by answering with "Your mom," and Pentagon spokespeople defended Pete Hegseth with crude replies while users on X criticized Leavitt as juvenile.
- Critics warn that the exchange of personal attacks risks normalizing ad hominem tactics, noting Karoline Leavitt called S.V. D�te a 'far left hack' and not a journalist interested in facts.
