White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt Subject of Online Foot Fetishism
A ranking of White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt’s feet has sparked a peculiar online conversation, drawing attention from a comedian and generating a surge of praise within a specific online community. The unusual interest began after an Instagram user publicly rated Leavitt’s feet, prompting a wave of similar comments and even a sold-out cardboard cutout featuring the spokesperson.The attention, while unconventional, highlights the increasingly scrutinized public image of political figures and the unexpected corners of the internet where that scrutiny manifests. While seemingly frivolous, the incident underscores the pervasive nature of online commentary and the potential for even minor details about public figures to become subjects of intense, and sometimes bizarre, fascination.
Comedian and military veteran Jason Vest, known as Poopytudsmcgee on Instagram, was among the first to comment on the ranking. Vest clarified the post was not politically motivated, framing it instead as “foot therapy” and offering his own assessment: a perfect “ten out of ten.”
Vest’s post ignited a flurry of positive responses focused on Leavitt’s feet. He further shared a link to a cardboard cutout of Leavitt seated and barefoot, available on Amazon. The item is currently sold out, and unavailable for shipping to Norway, according to an eBay listing.
Leavitt frequently appears near President Biden during press conferences, as captured in a recent photo by Jim Watson / AFP. The image accompanied a caption stating, “MEETING THE PRESS: Leavitt is frequently enough close to the president when talking to the press.”
