Caroline Levitt, the 27-year-old press secretary for the Trump White House, made headlines this week after causing a massive uproar on The View. Her appearance on the show turned into a full-blown spectacle as she called out the show’s hosts for their hypocrisy, the mainstream media’s narrative control, and their desperate attempts to hold on to their relevance in an increasingly changing media landscape. Here’s a breakdown of what went down and why it has everyone talking.
The Backlash Begins: Levitt Challenges Media’s Narrative Control
It all started when Levitt was invited onto The View, where she faced harsh criticism from the panel of hosts. However, what was supposed to be a typical media ambush quickly turned into a disaster for the show’s hosts. As soon as Levitt started challenging the left-wing narratives pushed by the mainstream media, including The View, the hosts found themselves scrambling to defend their positions.
Levitt’s fiery rhetoric took aim at the media’s attacks on her. She pointed out how the Democrats and media elites, including the hosts of The View, have been relentlessly criticizing her since she took on the role of press secretary. Levitt made it clear that these attacks, which were initially rooted in jealousy, had backfired spectacularly. Instead of silencing her, they only made her a more formidable force in the political and media landscape.
One of the most stunning moments of the exchange occurred when Joy Behar, a self-proclaimed feminist, made a sexist remark about Levitt. Instead of recognizing Levitt’s accomplishments, Behar reduced her success to nothing more than her looks. This statement led to an eruption of backlash, as Levitt pointed out the glaring hypocrisy of a feminist who undermines a successful woman for her appearance.
Behar’s remark was seen as a massive blow to the feminist ideals she often claims to champion. Levitt didn’t hold back, calling out Behar and other media personalities for tearing down women who do not fit their political or ideological views.
Whoopi Goldberg also came under fire during the exchange. When Levitt criticized the concept of “wokeness” and the Democratic media’s obsession with identity politics, Goldberg attempted to deflect by equating the term with civil rights. Levitt wasn’t fooled, and she quickly called out Goldberg’s flawed logic.
Goldberg tried to spin the conversation by bringing up the historical struggles of women and people of color, but Levitt made it clear that the issue of “wokeness” isn’t about civil rights—it’s about pushing policies based on identity rather than merit. This sharp distinction exposed the real agenda behind much of the mainstream media’s rhetoric, leaving Goldberg looking both confused and defensive.
One of the most significant developments from this encounter came after Levitt announced a game-changing shift in the White House press pool. In a bold move, Levitt introduced a new media section that would provide space for New Media voices to challenge the mainstream media’s narratives. This meant that reporters from outside the traditional outlets would now have a seat at the table, with the goal of holding legacy media accountable for their biased reporting.
For decades, the White House Correspondents Association and mainstream media outlets controlled the narrative, dictating who got to ask questions and what stories were pushed. Levitt’s changes, which included granting press passes to 440 journalists wrongfully revoked under the Biden administration, marked a decisive break from that old system. And needless to say, The View panel was not happy.
The The View hosts were quick to voice their disapproval of Levitt’s media reforms. Sunny Hostin scoffed at the idea of New Media reporters being qualified to attend White House briefings, suggesting that only legacy media outlets deserved a seat at the table. Whoopi Goldberg, as usual, had her own condescending remarks, warning that under Levitt’s leadership, people would just “spout stuff.” The irony of this statement wasn’t lost on anyone, as mainstream media, including The View, has been notorious for pushing half-truths and spinning narratives for years.
Levitt’s bold stance not only challenged the mainstream media’s monopoly on information but also exposed the hypocrisy and double standards that have allowed shows like The View to dominate the conversation without any real accountability.
Another key moment in the exchange was when the The View panel tried to corner Levitt with a question about illegal immigration. They were hoping to trap her into admitting that Trump’s immigration policies were unfair, but Levitt wasn’t having it. She expertly flipped the script, pointing out that Trump’s administ
