News outlets report the president repeatedly contacted the White House press secretary asking when she would return to work.
We’re in the midst of a mass exodus of working mothers from the labor force. The latest is Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, who announced her departure Wednesday. And it might have been because President Donald Trump had been calling her repeatedly while she was away on maternity leave, reports suggest.
According to sources familiar with the matter who spoke to CNN, the president contacted her frequently, asking when she was going to return. Fast Company reached out to the White House for comment, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
In an X post, Leavitt wrote: “I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary.”

She is fucking lying as she always does. She is quitting because she found out that the Pedo in Chief used her as a decoy.

Too bad she can do both at the same time. Would make press conferences funnier too when she gasps like a hyena after every sentence.

Has that been verified yet?

From what I read US intelligence rated the threat as very low.
Feels more like scripted bullshit to help justify a "state of emergency" and canceling elections.

I feel more like they'd use the threat of "antifa" or BLM or just the very existence of so many Democratic voters as a "state of emergency"....for

If true (doubtful), she's a special breed of moron to think that trump would have any respect for a woman.
Also, you're not going to be the best mom to your children. You lack compassion and empathy. They'd be better off with you at work.

Fuck this Nazi, may she had postpartum depression for 10,000 days and bad luck on her family for 10 generations

Sociopaths don't often get depression, I think.
Feel bad for any kids that are raised by someone like this though.

Sociopathy and Depression can coexist.
Studies indicate a significant overlap between sociopathy and depressive symptoms

Yes because they lack empathy.

Yeah right. When the Pedo-in-Chief left her on the decoy plane she realized no matter how much she shoved her head up his ass, she'll always mean jack-diddly-squat to Dear Leader.

It’s not his fault! He just can’t remember she was out because of the dementia!

More propaganda for pushing women back into homemaking.
