Karoline Leavitt sparks speculation that she has DITCHED her religious necklace after brutal Jon Stewart joke

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appears to have scaled back from wearing her religious cross necklace since she was skewered by Jon Stewart in a brutal late-night joke. 

Since the 27-year-old assumed her post at The White House, she has been known to wear various large cross necklaces during her press briefings, seemingly sending a clear message about her Christian faith.

She has also been known to pray with her team before beginning her briefings.   

But in an early June episode of Jon Stewart’s talk show, The Daily Show, he torched Leavitt and her necklace.

‘By the way, I think that the more she lies, the bigger her cross gets. Is that possible? It’s like some sort of weird Pinocchio cross,’ Stewart chided.

However, his jokes didn’t stop there.

He also posited that Leavitt is likely to be ‘the only one’ who will be able to leave Trump’s second term ‘unscathed.’ 

Stewart said that he ‘doesn’t think that she has any principles in there left to die.’ 

And since the jab, some have taken notice that Leavitt doesn’t seem to be wearing her cross necklace as often anymore. 

Earlier this week, Leavitt left her décolletage bare as she donned a black sleeveless dress while addressing press outside the White House on Wednesday.

And its prolonged absence has prompted many to wonder about the accessory.  

‘Why did Karoline Leavitt stop wearing her cross necklace????’ one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote on July 9.

‘Karoline Leavitt took her cross necklace off for this press conference,’ another observed of her July 7 briefing.

Someone else wrote on X on June 23, ‘Why did Karoline Leavitt stop wearing her necklace with the cross?’

‘Karoline Leavitt was seen without her cross necklace after being mocked by Daily Show host Jon Stewart. Do you think she should keep wearing it?’ another posited.

However, although the Press Secretary appears to have been wearing her necklace less, she hasn’t completely gotten rid of it from her wardrobe rotation.

She has been spotted on a handful of occasions since but eagle-eyed fans have identified that it is nowhere near as constant. 

In the past, Leavitt has spoken about how much her Christian faith means to her.

‘My faith is incredibly important to me, I would argue now more than ever,’ she told CBN News in a March interview.

‘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.’
