Karoline Leavitt, at 27 the youngest press secretary ever for the White House, made headlines in her debut briefing by asserting that $50 million was allocated for a condom distribution program in Gaza. This assertion, however, was quickly labelled as unsubstantiated and met with skepticism. Reports from USAID revealed no direct funding toward such a program in Gaza, with most contraceptive funds directed to Africa. Former Biden officials dismissed the claims as baseless, showcasing a significant backlash against her initial statements.
Leavitt claimed during her first briefing that $50 million was earmarked for condoms in Gaza, sparking controversy and criticism over the unsubstantiated nature of the claim.
Reports indicate no evidence for the $50 million claim, with only $45,680 reported for Jordan, diminishing the credibility of Leavitt’s assertions.
