White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is no stranger to criticism, with opponents accusing her of spreading propaganda for President Donald Trump. But on Wednesday, social media users claimed she went a step further; this time with her wardrobe.
During a White House press briefing, some observers noted that Leavitt’s outfit bore a striking resemblance to the iconic clothing of Ri Chun-hee, the long-time North Korean state TV anchor. Ri is famous for her dramatic, highly theatrical broadcasts defending dictator Kim Jong Un, and clips of her passionate delivery have become viral hits online over the years.
