‘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.”

      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.

    I’m shocked she didn’t change it up to a cross with Trump on it. Shit, I better not give them ideas

    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

    Here’s a necklace idea for TACO Belle:

    Hopefully Kristi Noem Is triggered and pulls out her SOP for bad puppies.

        She’ll end up podcasting from her basement and irradiating her testicles with manosphere-branded red lights?

          Quite literally the only reason I’d watch her.

      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.

      I’m never sure if people like this are so deep in their cult that they honestly believe they are doing just things or if they know there is no god.

    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.
