She stated that the freeze remained in place and that the administration had rescinded an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memo to clarify a court’s injunction.

Min, however, accused Leavitt of being dishonest and referenced the Bible in his criticism.

“Thou shalt not bear false witness,” Min wrote on X. “Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is a fake Christian, like so many in the Golden Calf Administration.”

"This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze.

It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo.

Why? To end any confusion created by the court's injunction.

The President's EO's on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented." - Karoline Leavitt

Speaking to the New York Post, Leavitt dismissed Min’s statement.

“I think it’s pitiful for an elected member of Congress to say that about a woman who he’s never even met,” she said.

Leavitt also spoke about her faith, making it clear that it is central to her life. “My Christian faith is a huge part of my life,” she said. “My faith, my marriage, my family life — it’s everything to me.”

The exchange highlights the ongoing tensions between Democrats and the Trump administration and its critics, particularly on issues related to faith and political discourse.

While Leavitt addressed the remarks directly, she did not engage further with Min’s accusations.

Min, who represents California’s 47th Congressional District, has not issued any further statements in response to Leavitt’s comments.

Leavitt, 26, is the first millennial to serve as White House press secretary.

She previously worked as the spokesperson for President Trump’s campaign before taking on her current role.

The White House has not commented on Min’s remarks, and Leavitt continues to serve as the administration’s primary media liaison.
