Colbert Mocks White House Over Unflattering Karoline Leavitt Photo
2 Apr
Summary
- Stephen Colbert mocked the White House over a removed photo of Karoline Leavitt.
- The photo was reportedly removed from Getty Images due to an unflattering angle.
- Colbert projected the image onto his theater's dome for April Fools' Day.
Stephen Colbert dedicated a segment of "The Late Show" monologue to satirize the White House's reaction to a controversial photograph. The image in question featured Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt alongside a pardoned turkey during a Thanksgiving event.
Colbert highlighted that a wire service, Getty Images, removed the photo, citing concerns that the White House did not approve of it, despite claims of no direct orders. He humorously suggested the administration acted passively to have the image taken down.
As an April Fools' Day prank, Colbert projected the deemed unflattering photo of Leavitt onto the dome of the Ed Sullivan Theater for his audience to see, ironically telling them not to look.
