Karoline Leavitt Is Getting Out. George Conway Thinks He Knows Why

Karoline Leavitt’s departure as White House press secretary marks the end of a tenure defined by an unmatched ability to deliver falsehoods without hesitation. Her effectiveness stemmed from a combination of unwavering composure, strategic deflection, and a total commitment to the "post-truth" narrative required by the administration. Unlike predecessors who occasionally displayed signs of internal conflict or discomfort, Leavitt maintained a seamless, unflappable persona that effectively shielded the president from accountability. This role requires a complete abandonment of traditional transparency, a standard that potential successors like Scott Jennings must now meet. While Jennings is a skilled practitioner of gaslighting, he lacks Leavitt’s specific advantage of using age and gender to deflect criticism, potentially making him more prone to the emotional outbursts that have historically undermined other press secretaries in the briefing room.
