    But The Post tried to smear her faith, personality and confidence from the start of the article: “Trump’s newest press secretary is radiant, blond and apple-cheeked ‒ as if one of Leonardo da Vinci’s Madonnas had been styled for a Fox News hit. Her delivery is righteous, if a bit smug. God gives everyone gifts, Leavitt believes; hers is public speaking. And for roughly a half hour, once or twice a week, she delivers Trump’s word to a room filled with professional skeptics.”

    If the trivializing of an accomplished woman wasn’t so disgusting, I’d laugh. Can you imagine The Post smugly diminishing a progressive woman (or man) as “radiant, blond and apple-cheeked”?

    What has Levitt accomplished?
