In a surprising turn of events, Karoline Leavitt, the Press Secretary for Donald Trump, sparked controversy by suggesting a peculiar theory regarding the tragic death of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk. Leavitt took to her Instagram story to connect Kirk’s demise to an earthquake, hinting that it might have been a divine retribution due to God’s supposed anger over the assassination.
The message also delved into esoteric ‘numerology’ interpretations related to the incident, pointing out eerie coincidences like the timing of a 4.1 magnitude earthquake in Utah on the night of Kirk’s shooting. Quoting biblical references, Leavitt implied a symbolic correlation between the earthquake, the number 41, and the concept of divine justice.
Leavitt’s post on her personal Instagram account ended with a simple yet impactful expression – “wow.” This incident sheds light on her open embrace of blending her Catholic beliefs with her professional duties, including leading prayer sessions for the White House communication team.
While the White House is mandated to maintain a separation between religion and governance, Trump’s administration has often blurred these lines. Trump’s establishment of the “White House Faith Office” under the controversial televangelist Paula White aims to combat perceived religious bias and promote faith in American governance, a move that has faced criticism from mainstream Christian leaders branding White as a “heretic.”
