White House Press Secretary Publishes ‘Your Mom’ Text and Insults Reporter Over Budapest Question

The dispute highlights sensitivities around Budapest’s association with Ukraine security assurances under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum.

Overview

  • Karoline Leavitt on Monday posted a screenshot showing she replied "Your mom did" to HuffPost reporter S. V. Dáte and labeled him a "left-wing hack."
  • She shared the exchange on X after coverage of the quip but did not answer the substantive question of who proposed Budapest for a TrumpPutin meeting.
  • Dáte publicly replied to Leavitt’s post asking her to provide an actual answer to his original inquiry.
  • White House communications director Steven Cheung also responded "Your mom," according to the messages reported by multiple outlets.
  • Details of a potential TrumpPutin meeting in Budapest remain unconfirmed, with outlets reporting no set date and some describing the effort as uncertain or on hold.
