‘By the way, I think that the more she lies, the bigger her cross gets,’ Daily Show host says of White House spokeswoman
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was seen without her cross necklace following the mockery of Daily Show host Jon Stewart.
Leavitt appeared for her briefing on Tuesday in a navy blazer, but she had chosen to forego her signature jewelry.
On Monday night, Stewart skewered Leavitt, saying, “By the way, I think that the more she lies, the bigger her cross gets. Is that possible? It’s like some sort of weird Pinocchio cross.”
The host also noted that Leavitt is likely to be “the only one” who will be able to leave the administration “unscathed … Because I don’t think that she has any principles in there left to die.”
So when it came down to a choice between her faith and Trump, she ditched her faith. Yeah, that checks.
I grew up with people like this. The cross is purely for virtue signalling. It has no real value to them other than being like a Costco membership card to get access to manipulate people who are easily manipulated by such things.
Near where I live a church put up one of those 50 foot tall aluminum-siding crosses.

There are still hungry and homeless people, but that’s how you choose to spend your money?

If you have to put up a giant symbol to show you’re a church, you’re probably not a very good church. After all, as some guy who I’m totally blanking on his name once said, you will know a tree by the fruits it bears.

Grifters like Trump are her faith. Now she’s just being honest.
I’m sure she was a model Christian before Trump got to her.
/s ?
Yes.
Here is an easy way to tell: If someone wears a cross, that isn’t a strong indication of faith. If a cross wears them, that’s a pretty strong indication of faith.
Why would she have to give up her faith to be duplicitous and deliberately cruel?
I want the unimaginable amount of harm Bimbo-Goebbeles is doing to be called out. She’s not just lying, she’s actively normalized institutional gaslighting, basically setting up the premise necessary for the public to have just enough doubt about the veracity of the horrific stuff they’ll hear about that it empowers the fascists to move on to more and more horrible deeds… Holy smokes this bunch is dangerous
This is what Trump’s first term was like too. All of those press secretaries were lying their asses off in every briefing.
Everything about this term is the same except for Project 2025 and DOGE. Granted, those are pretty huge, but nothing else surprises me.
There was a Heritage Foundation document for 2016 as well. There has been one for every president since Regan.
Yeah, I dunno why people act like project 25 is some crazy new scheme they cooked up. This is part of their standard play book.
Except Stephanie Grisham. Bet you forgot about her, and that’s because she didn’t hold any press conferences at all.
Hiding in bushes…
Jon Stewart and getting fascists to change their neckwear. Is there a more iconic duo?
Given Tukkker’s career arc post-Crossfire, this might actually be good for Leavitt.
She’ll end up podcasting from her basement and irradiating her testicles with manosphere-branded red lights?
It’s fucked up on another level, too. She knows she’s lying her ass off. Why would she remove the cross otherwise?
As being a narcissistic sociopath is basically a prerequisite for working in this administration, she likely doesn’t handle ridicule well, and thus no cross.
Lordy, this is good:
On Monday night, Stewart skewered Leavitt, saying, “By the way, I think that the more she lies, the bigger her cross gets. Is that possible? It’s like some sort of weird Pinocchio cross.”
But this requires a desperate call to the local burn unit:
The host also noted that Leavitt is likely to be “the only one” who will be able to leave the administration “unscathed … Because I don’t think that she has any principles in there left to die.”
I don’t know much about this person, but my attention has been drawn. And I shamefully admit, I’ll be looking to hear of the size of a crucifix she might choose to wear on any given day.
Choose one too small, and one might question her lack of faith. If missing altogether, it could be interpreted as blasphemy.
BRUTAL
That’s a ‘T for Trump’ cross isn’t it?
Man don’t give them any ideas.
That’s disgusting blasphemy and I’m not even religious. I get it though, he’s their god.
The World State is built upon the principles of Henry Ford’s assembly line: mass production, homogeneity, predictability, and consumption of disposable consumer goods. While the World State lacks any supernatural-based religions, Ford himself is revered as the creator of their society but not as a deity, and characters celebrate Ford Day and swear oaths by his name (e.g., “By Ford!”). In this sense, some fragments of traditional religion are present, such as Christian crosses, which had their tops cut off to be changed to a “T”, representing the Ford Model T.

Sorry there Baghdad Barbie II: Fascist Boogaloo, you already broke that whole thou shall not bear false witness multiple times, you’re still going to hell and removing your fake symbol isn’t going to help that.
You are talking about, TACO Belle.
Here’s a necklace idea for TACO Belle:
Hopefully Kristi Noem Is triggered and pulls out her SOP for bad puppies.
Religious people are fucked in the head
Especially those precious ones who are fooled by people like KKKaroline.
That was her takeaway? “Maybe I shouldn’t be lying so much with this thing on.”
But it’s still ok to lie. Without the cross.
I’m shocked she didn’t change it up to a cross with Trump on it. Shit, I better not give them ideas
The burning sensation became too intense.
God is not with the fucked up MAGAts.
There’s only one kind of acceptable neckwear for a fascist
