White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has earned a new nickname from her fanbase after a heated exchange with Good Morning America host Michael Strahan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leavitt caught Strahan off guard during an interview on Wednesday as she defended President Donald Trump\u2018s efforts to force federal government workers back into their offices in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Is there any concern that we risk losing people with years of experience like doctors and let\u2019s say, scientists?\u2019 he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leavitt shot back: \u2018Well most doctors who work in actual hospitals and medical institutions have to show up in the office.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fans of Leavitt rallied to her support, describing her as the \u2018grim reaper\u2019 for newscasters like Strahan, a former NFL player for the New York Giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Karoline Leavitt just took another soul on live TV,\u2019 wrote one supporter on X, sharing video of the exchange. \u2018She\u2019s like the fake news\u2019 grim reaper.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Video of the exchange went viral on social media, earning more than three million views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Stone-cold killer. Will reach legend status,\u2019 wrote social media user JoeT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
