Karoline Leavitt got a bit feisty after appearing offended by a student's question during a Turning Point USA event.
Joining TPUSA's new CEO, Erika Kirk, at the conservative nonprofit organization's recent tour stop at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, April 3, Donald Trump's White House press secretary became defensive of her boss' Save America Act.
Leavitt snapped at the unidentified college kid, deeming the question "frankly insulting" as it was met with a mixed reaction of boos and cheers.
The White House press secretary snapped back with a question of her own.
While shouting the question, the student had claimed voter fraud was "incredibly rare" and asked whether the Save America Act would be beneficial to "prevent a few hundred cases of voter fraud."
"No need to boo. It’s an honest question," Leavitt initially said, though her tone quickly turned hostile.
Doubting Heritage Foundation data cited by the student, the 28-year-old White House spokesperson declared, "There is certainly much more, I believe, voter fraud in this country, and I’m sure those statistics back it up, than what you cited with one survey."

Karoline Leavitt said the Save America Act is a 'common-sense piece of legislation.'
"Why are you okay with any voter fraud in the United States of America?" she countered before lashing out, calling it "absolutely absurd" that the United States doesn't require voter ID for national elections.
"This idea that the Save America Act would disenfranchise anyone is frankly insulting,” Leavitt snubbed.

'It’s a Common-Sense Piece of Legislation'
Karoline Leavitt fiercely defended Donald Trump's Save America Act.
She ranted, "It’s a common-sense piece of legislation, and Democrats would be wise to get on board with this, because the only people in the world, except for maybe this gentleman who asked the question, seem to be politicians in this city who don’t want voter ID and proof of citizenship in American elections."
The Save America Act has been at a standstill in Senate amid pushback from Democrats — despite being passed in February by the House of Representatives.
Donald Trump recently suggested Karoline Leavitt is doing a 'poor job' as his press secretary.
Trump has made the bill one of his top priorities while publicly accusing Democrats of opposing the legislation because they "want to cheat."
"Their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat, and we're going to stop it," the president claimed during his State of the Union address in February.
