White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt found herself at the centre of an online backlash after sharing photos from her Mother's Day celebrations, with critics accusing the Trump administration figure of flaunting wealth at a time when many American families are struggling with rising costs.
Leavitt, who recently welcomed her daughter Viviana on 1 May, initially posted intimate family photographs on Instagram showing her spending Mother's Day with her children. One image showed the 27-year-old curled up in bed with her son Niko and newborn daughter. It was the sort of carefully curated family moment that usually passes without much scrutiny.
