After White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt held a press conference on Sunday, June 22 to address the United States' military strikes against Iran, comedian Lisandra Vázquez wasted no time posting a parody video lampooning her.
Vázquez has mocked others in the Trump Administration, including National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard. But it is Vázquez's impressions of Leavitt that are going viral on YouTube, TikTok and X, formerly Twitter. And in the June 22 video, Vázquez humorously ridiculed Leavitt's hostile interactions with the mainstream media.
When asked "What happened to the two weeks of diplomacy that President Trump wanted to have with Iran?," Vázquez angrily replied, "Two weeks is a concept. Do you think we were stupid? Do you think we were being literal by telling you the exact timeline? What kind of dummies are you?"

Vázquez's latest Leavitt parody is drawing a lot of responses on X.
Arizona-based journalist Jim Cross tweeted, "She really captures how vapid Leavitt is."
X user Melissa Clark said of Vázquez's Leavitt impression, "Yikes is Leavitt having breathing problems? I have not looked at an actual presser in awhile. These are way better."
Another X user, Mary Kanatzar, posted, "She even has the bump on her forehead."

Reportedly, Leavitt is not happy about Vázquez's impressions of her.
In April, X user September Rayne tweeted one of Vázquez's videos and wrote, "Lisandra Vazquez is definitely getting underneath Karoline Leavitt's skin with her continuous skits of Leavitt going viral."
In that video, Vázquez mocked Leavitt's rhetoric with lines like, "I am also a working mother and a Christ follower."
