White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has seemingly ditched one of her signature accessories after being branded a ‘fake Christian’ by critics

Leavitt wore a chunky gold and diamond cross hanging around her neck

Karoline Leavitt appeared today in her role as White House Press Secretary where she answered questions about Trump, including former DOGE head Elon Musk’s trashing of the President’s “Big Beautiful Bill”.

But while Leavitt batted away questions from the press, one item that was front and center was Leavitt’s favorite accessory – and she seems to have supersized it.

Leavitt – who has been accused of multiple plastic surgeries – wore a chunky gold and diamond cross hanging around her neck. She’s far from the only member of the MAGA mob to wear this symbol, broadly associated with many denominations of Christianity.

Pam Bondi also proudly flaunts a diamond cross around her neck, a stylish nod to the gruesome method of execution endured by Jesus Christ, according to Christians.

Leavitt seems to have upgraded her formerly dainty diamond cross for a much larger piece, similar to Bondi’s. She’s now wearing a much larger, heavier, and presumably more expensive piece.

But previously Leavitt raised eyebrows when she appeared without her signature accessory at a recent press event.

Patriot Takes on Bluesky brought attention to this on social media by posting a photo showing Leavitt in a soft blue blazer, her neckline noticeably bare.

The query they posed was: “Did Karoline Leavitt ditch her cross necklace? Maybe all that lying finally got to her,” according to the Irish Star.

At the age of 27, Leavitt is no stranger to clashing with journalists, defending herself against claims of deception while charging the press with spreading untruths, which the White House says it will actively refute, reports the Mirror US.

From day one, Leavitt had set the tone at the podium, proclaiming, “I was very up-front in my briefing on Day One that, if we feel that there are lies being pushed by outlets in this room, we are going to hold those lies accountable.”

Democratic Rep. Dave Min has previously leveled accusations at self-proclaimed Christian Karoline Leavitt, branding her a ‘fake Christian’. This came on the heels of her comments regarding an executive order that temporarily put a stop to federal grants and loans.

Despite a federal judge putting the kibosh on the guidance on January 28, Leavitt underscored that policies zeroing in on funding for progressive causes, including LGBTQ+ organizations, were still in play.

In a stinging comeback, Min challenged Leavitt’s faith, dubbing her display of a cross as “hypocritical.”
