Karoline Leavitt Criticizes Gen Z, Suggests They Be Sent to Cuba or Iran
- White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized young adults on Fox News Thursday, claiming they have been "raised with just silver spoons in their mouths" and lack work ethic.
- Host Jesse Watters prompted the exchange while discussing the sweep of young Democratic leftist candidates in recent primary elections, suggesting liberal professors and "laziness" explained generational work ethic gaps.
- Critics challenged the remarks, citing a Realtor.com report showing 25.2 million adults under 35 lived with parents in 2025, with 70 percent of those aged 25-34 employed despite high living costs.

- As young adults reach 1/6 of eligible voters in 2028, the political fallout may impact Democratic Party messaging strategies and broader campaign approaches heading into the midterms.
