I have not seen this kind of redirect before; it prevents me from simply creating the page "Karoline Leavitt" (which is currently in my sandbox with a subst:submit message) Ssenier (talk) 02:36, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I created the page; apologies if you already had something. It is very short, but it no longer redirects. LydiasPost (talk) 18:46, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A BA in what? 107.191.169.104 (talk) 16:36, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please try reading the article before posting. See, 'Early life and education' section. Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 01:10, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that Leavitt went to St. Anselm's College on a softball scholarship. St. A's (as those in the know call it) is a D2 school with limited athletic scholarships. While it is possible she received some money, it would have likely been limited. In addition, reviewing the rosters on the college athletic website, one can see she was only on the team for two seasons playing quite a bit as a first year player and less in her second year. Presumably, if she quit the team, her scholarship was revoked. The footnote to the statement that she received an athletic scholarship is to a page which shows she was on the team, but does not show that she received a scholarship. https://saintanselmhawks.com/sports/softball/roster/karoline-leavitt/4412 71.88.60.176 (talk) 19:28, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have looked into this issue further. Here is a page from the 2015-2016 St. Anselm's catalog which states that the college only offered athletic scholarships for men's and women's basketball

https://catalog.anselm.edu/content.php?catoid=3&navoid=107

This would be right when she enrolled. This statement that she had a scholarship which seems to be repeated over and over again in news article seems dubious. 71.88.60.176 (talk) 15:34, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find any source contradicting the claim but, among others, the AP, The Times, The Washington Post (at least twice, beginning when she ran for Congress), and New Hampshire Public Radio (her local NPR station) have repeated the claim. Her page doesn't say she had a full scholarship, and I believe she only played two years. Although, according to the Financial Aid page you referenced, full scholarships are for basketball, it reads "Other designated recipients may receive partial scholarships depending on the sport...". I'm going to re+ "where she received a scholarship to play softball" w/ at least the AP & NPR refs. I believe we should otherwise await any change based on reliable sources and be wary of future WP:LIBEL and preserve WP:BLPBALANCE regarding this article. Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 05:43, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The addition of this information seems to be in dispute about whether it is notable:

During a press briefing on January 31, 2025 on the hiring polices at the Federal Aviation Administration, she faced criticism for her remarks on terminating DEI policies, specifically for her statement of "when you are flying on an airplane with your loved ones, which every one of us in this room has, do you pray that the plane lands safely at your destination? Or do you pray that the pilot has a certain skin color?".^[1]

Bringing this issue here to be discussed to avoid edit warring over the issue. Do people think this should be included or not mentioned. Remember (talk) 00:55, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• More prominent source needed. The Mary Sue is such a minor outlet that it does not even have its own article. Also, the criticism quoted in the source seems to be from 2 X users. That's not very important. starship.paint (talk / cont) 12:59, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  From PBS

  "Several news outlets say that, at the time of the crash, one of the controllers in the airport's tower was handling both planes and helicopters, tasks normally performed by two individuals. That practice is allowed, but typically later in the evening, when traffic is slower. At the White House, reporters asked whether the flying public should be concerned about FAA staffing levels. In response, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt doubled down on President Trump's controversial comments yesterday about diversity and inclusion. Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary: When you are flying on an airplane with your loved ones, which every one of us in this room has, do you pray that your plane lands safely and gets you to your destination or do you pray that the pilot has a certain skin color? I think we all know the answer to that question. And, as President Trump said yesterday, it's common sense." PBS.

  How about that? Remember (talk) 18:54, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Remember: - not really a fan of using transcripts that are by their own admission "machine and human generated and lightly edited for accuracy. They may contain errors." starship.paint (talk / cont) 02:48, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I see. So it seems that your issue is the fact that it is "machine and human generated" but every news outlet uses AI and human employees to peer-review articles before publication. PBS is a reliable source. They wouldn't jeopardize their reputation by posting something untrue.

  Daily Wire also posted the actual video of her speech. So you can see it's word for word verbatim in the PBS article.

  How do you feel about adding the FAA statement to the Wikipedia article now?

  Also the Daily Signal, a conservative news outlet that is reliable enough to have its own Wikipedia page reported the same exact quote. https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/01/31/trump-press-secretary-dei-plane-crash-unacceptable/ Summerfell1978 (talk) 07:34, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  This story is WP:FART and WP:NOTNEWS -- FMSky (talk) 07:38, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  You don't think it's notable though? It's quite relevant and racist. It's not a quote of her commenting about her opinion on if she likes strawberry or vanilla ice cream. It's a very inflammatory and unprofessional comment.

  Just trying to understand because you don't have a problem with the current information on the page: "During the press conference, Leavitt falsely stated that "there was about to be 50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza"." or "On February 25, 2025, Leavitt announced that in the future her team would "determine who gets to enjoy the very privileged and limited access in spaces such as Air Force One and the Oval Office". Summerfell1978 (talk) 07:59, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Wasn't it an anti-racist statment? She said its irrelevant what skin color the pilot has, only relevant that you're landing safely - FMSky (talk) 08:11, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The purpose of her statement is to defend Trump's anti-DEI actions. She is downplaying the prevalence of discrimination in hiring and is purporting the claim that people of color who are hired are not qualified to operate a plane. She's insinuating that the current situation is that pilots are being hired because of the color of their skin instead of based on merit. Summerfell1978 (talk) 08:21, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's not what the quote says though. What exactly do you even want to add to the article? --FMSky (talk) 08:25, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But can you answer this though, I'm curious what your reasoning is

"Just trying to understand because you don't have a problem with the current information on the page: "During the press conference, Leavitt falsely stated that "there was about to be 50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza"." or "On February 25, 2025, Leavitt announced that in the future her team would "determine who gets to enjoy the very privileged and limited access in spaces such as Air Force One and the Oval Office". Summerfell1978 (talk) 08:28, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I also wanted to remove this per the same reasoning (WP:NOTNEWS) earlier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Karoline_Leavitt#Removal_of_false_birth_control_statement but people seem to think it is relevant --FMSky (talk) 08:30, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But if people think the FAA statement is relevant why can't we have it up. Summerfell1978 (talk) 09:02, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok so if there's no opposition, I'll edit it. Thanks. Summerfell1978 (talk) 23:40, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What do you even want to add FMSky (talk) 23:41, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But there is opposition. This "material" is not notable in the least. --Malerooster (talk) 03:41, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It requires context and further analysis of the quote. It's not an innocent quote. It's often a talking point for right-wing individuals to say they support jobs based on merit as a reason to hide their racism towards DEI and minority hires. Summerfell1978 (talk) 08:29, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It seems you have a problem with Rule 9. Write neutrally and with due weight. Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 03:27, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The current phrasing of Karoline Leavitt’s engagement and marriage is misleading. Change the current description of Karoline Leavitt’s personal life to the corrected version, seen below.

Karoline Leavitt met her now husband, Nicholas Riccio, in 2022. There is a 32 year age between them. Leavitt and Riccio became engaged in December 2023. The couple welcomed son Nicholas Robert Riccio, nicknamed “Niko,” on July 10, 2024. Leavitt did not take maternity leave and instead chose to resume work for the Trump campaign immediately after his birth. On February 21, 2025, in an interview on The Megyn Kelly Show, Leavitt revealed she and Riccio had married in January 2025, days before President Donald Trump’s second inauguration. Leavitt posted photos of the nuptials on her Instagram account March 12, 2025. ^{[1] [2]} 2600:6C46:6B00:297:7D07:8B89:35A2:6324 (talk) 17:00, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
