Fact check: Did Carolyn Levitt tell Jasmine Crockett to sit down?

Checked on June 16, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, Carolyn Levitt did not tell Jasmine Crockett to sit down. The sources consistently show that the person involved in confrontations with Jasmine Crockett is Karoline Leavitt, not Carolyn Levitt [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].

One source specifically indicates that Karoline Leavitt told Jasmine Crockett to "Sit down, girl" during a live congressional hearing [2]. Multiple sources document ongoing tensions between these two political figures, including:

  • Live television confrontations where Karoline Leavitt "storms off in rage" [1]
  • A significant defamation lawsuit filed by Jasmine Crockett against Karoline Leavitt for amounts ranging from $80-100 million [3] [4]
  • Condescending remarks made by Karoline Leavitt toward Jasmine Crockett on live TV [6]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question contains a critical name error that obscures the actual political conflict occurring between Karoline Leavitt and Jasmine Crockett. The missing context includes:

  • Karoline Leavitt's role as a political figure who has been involved in multiple public confrontations with Crockett [1] [6]
  • The escalation of their conflict into legal action, with Crockett pursuing substantial financial damages [3] [4]
  • The broader political implications, including Crockett's stated intentions to pursue impeachment proceedings against President Trump if she gains committee leadership [7]
  • Media coverage patterns showing this conflict has generated significant attention across multiple platforms and dates from June 9-14, 2025

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains factual inaccuracy through name confusion. By asking about "Carolyn Levitt" instead of "Karoline Leavitt," the question either:

  • Demonstrates poor fact-checking or reliance on inaccurate sources
  • Potentially deflects attention from the actual political confrontation between Karoline Leavitt and Jasmine Crockett
  • May spread confusion about the identities of the political figures involved in this high-profile conflict

The misspelling could benefit those who prefer to minimize scrutiny of the actual confrontation and legal proceedings between Karoline Leavitt and Jasmine Crockett, as documented across multiple sources spanning recent weeks [1] [2] [3] [4] [6].
