Leavitt was criticizing protests against the Trump administrations 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.

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

I suspect he's your "Dream Lover" and you Lie Together.
I hope your sentence is to have to spend the rest of your life sharing a cell together. You deserve each other.

(211 posts)There once was Leavitt, quite stern,
At gestures she wouldnt discern.
She scolded a crowd
Flipping fingers out loud,
Saying, Such manners should never return!
She waved an old photo around,
Of protesters with graffiti profound.
A car battered sore,
With words "FUCK ICE" aimed at ICE on the door
Disgraceful! she scolded, red-faced and wound.
Yet critics all raised an eyebrow,
Recalling a clip from just now:
Her boss on the scene,
Not exactly serene,
With a finger and phrase to allow.
Hed told a heckler off twice,
With language not sugar nor nice.
So the crowd on the net
Didnt soon let her forget,
That hypocrisy isnt precise.
Whos going to tell her? they cried,
On X where the snark did reside.
For the finger she feared
Had quite recently appeared
From the desk on the Ovals inside.

Most reporters are still afraid to upset the Trumpists by confronting them like that.
