‘s efforts to force federal government workers back into their offices in Washington, DC.

Strahan expressed concerns that government doctors and scientists would leave their jobs in the federal government rather than return to work five days a week in their offices.

‘Is there any concern that we risk losing people with years of experience like doctors and let’s say, scientists?’ he asked.

Leavitt shot back: ‘Well most doctors who work in actual hospitals and medical institutions have to show up in the office.’

Video of the exchange went viral on social media, earning more than three million views.

‘Stone-cold killer. Will reach legend status,’ wrote social media user JoeT.

Good Morning America host Michael Strahan grilled W̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶H̶o̶u̶s̶e̶ press secretary Karoline Leavitt about D̶o̶n̶a̶l̶d̶ ̶T̶r̶u̶m̶p̶’s move to force federal workers back into the office

Others shared a gif of a black cloaked figure with a scythe, marking her victory.

‘Karoline sacked Strahan…,’ wrote fan David Belman on X, referring to the morning show’s previous role as a football player.

Leavitt, 27, has quickly earned support from the president and his supporters, as the youngest press secretary in the history of the job.

She made her debut in the W̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶H̶o̶u̶s̶e̶ press briefing room on Tuesday, announcing she was shaking up the seating slots by offering seats to new media outlets and influencers.

‘Whether you are a TikTok content creator, a blogger, a podcaster, if you are producing legitimate news content, no matter the medium, you will be allowed to apply for press credentials in this W̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶H̶o̶u̶s̶e̶,’ she announced.

Within hours, 7,400 people already signed up for a seat.

When she’s not in-person at her office at the W̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶H̶o̶u̶s̶e̶, Leavitt is at home with her husband Nicholas Riccio and her baby son Niko.

She was grateful after Tr̶u̶m̶p̶ campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita offered her a job, even though she was expecting a child in the middle of the campaign.

She gave birth in July.

‘It’s true when they say there’s nothing comparable to the love you feel for your child. My heart has grown bigger than I ever imagined possible,’ she wrote on Instagram celebrating the birth of her son.

Leavitt even stepped into work three days later, after Tr̶u̶m̶p̶ was shot by a gunman during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

‘The president literally put his life on the line to win this election. The least I could do is get back to work quickly,’ she said to The Conservator in an interview in October.

She was appointed by Tr̶u̶m̶p̶ to serve as press secretary in the W̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶H̶o̶u̶s̶e̶, taking her place with other professionals in the W̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶H̶o̶u̶s̶e̶.

‘He doesn’t care if you’re a man or a woman, with kids or no kids,’ Leavitt explained about the president. ‘He just wants the hardest worker and the best person for the job. And that’s what makes him a great boss.’

She said on social media it was a difficult sacrifice to work at the W̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶H̶o̶u̶s̶e̶, but an honor.

‘I remind myself this job is temporary, it’s the opportunity of a lifetime, and I know one day he will be proud of his mama,’ she told supporters.

Leavitt went viral in June after she voiced concerns on CNN about ‘biased’ debate moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.

CNN Anchor Kasie Hunt cut off Leavitt’s microphone and ended the interview, declaring that she would not stand for attacks on her colleagues and their journalistic integrity.

One fan noted that it was easier for a communications professional to be combative during a presidential campaign, but the tone had to shift after the president took office.

‘It gets tougher when you need to be gracious to those the wish the worst for you. But she does it well,’ wrote Jesse Bronx on X. ‘We love Karoline Leavitt.’

Leavitt went on to defend Tr̶u̶m̶p̶’s order for federal workers to return to the office.

‘We know that employees are more productive and more efficient when they are working in an in-office environment,’ she added.

Tr̶u̶m̶p̶ signed an executive order demanding that federal agencies come up with a return to work plan to get workers back in the office.

‘Don’t forget it’s the American people that are funding this government and they deserve people that are actually showing up to work on their behalf,’ she said.

On Wednesday, Leavitt noted that just six percent of federal workers in Washington, DC were working full time in their offices.

‘This government has been wasting millions of dollars on empty office space that is beautiful, I mean look at the beautiful buildings in this city. They’re gorgeous, they’ve been here for decades,’ she said.

Earlier in the week, Tr̶u̶m̶p̶ issued an option for federal workers to take a buyout, to get full pay and benefits until September if they chose to resign their positions.

They have to resign by February 6th to take advantage of the proposal.
