Six Revealing Quotes from Karoline Leavitt’s Conversation with CBN

CBN’s David Brody sat down last week to talk with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
At 27 years of age, Leavitt is the youngest to serve in the role. During President Trump’s first term, she worked for then-press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
Leavitt graduated from Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, Massachusetts and attended Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire on a softball scholarship.
Looking back on her Catholic education, she told The Catholic Current podcast, “It taught me discipline, it brought me closer in my own relationship with God, and it also taught me the importance of public service and giving back to your community.”
Picking up on her faith and other areas of priority, here are six key and telling observations the married mother of an 8 month-old shared with David Brody:
- “My faith is incredibly important to me, I would argue, now more than ever, being in a role that is very demanding and at times controversial, and there’s a lot of public pressure and discussion online about who you are and your family. And you know, it could be difficult for someone who doesn’t have faith but with faith, all things are possible.”
- “I think [the] value of hard work and determination and drive was instilled in me in a very young age, just by watching my parents work so hard to earn a living.”
- “I certainly believe in spiritual warfare. And I think I saw it firsthand, especially throughout the campaign trail… I think there certainly were evil forces. And I think that the president was saved by the grace of God on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, and he’s in this moment for a reason.”
- “I think every working mother understands the demands. And no matter where you are, what you’re doing, there is a sense of guilt.”
- “I think that team prayer before is just a moment to be silent and still and ask God for confidence and the ability to articulate my words, knowledge, prayer, protection, and it is a nice moment to reset. It’s the last thing I do before I go out there, and then it just gives me the confidence to do a briefing.”
- “God has a plan for everyone. I believe that firmly … you just have to trust the process and trust that He’s working in your life, and stay grounded in your faith throughout the way.”
