Trump White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was the latest subject of a “Late Night with Seth Meyers” spoof briefing on Tuesday.

Clever editing from the comedian’s team appeared to show him grilling Leavitt, using footage from her first actual briefing last week.

Leavitt gave some refreshingly honest answers.

When Meyers asked who’d “be more qualified to run” the Department of Health and Human Services than Robert F. Kennedy Jr., she replied: “Anybody in this country, whether you are a TikTok content creator, a blogger, a podcaster.”

After Meyers requested President Donald Trump’s “least favorite place to operate,” she said it was “within the confines of the law.“

And on being grilled over Trump’s first lie of his second term, Leavitt said it was the oath of office.
