Karoline Leavitt responds to backlash after calling some of Gen Z lazy during interview

“This interview was about the rise of communism on the Left, and I was asked by Jesse Watters why so many young people are buying the false promise of “free stuff” being sold by communist politicians,” she wrote in a lengthy post on X Sunday. “My answer: a combination of laziness, yes, and the liberal indoctrination that has been taking place in our education system for far too long. There are far-left educators pumping students’ heads with garbage, convincing them that hard work and sacrifice won’t pay off down the road because they want them totally reliant on the government instead.”

During her interview with Watters, she said that Gen. Z was raised with “silver spoons in their mouths.”
