A self-proclaimed liberal “mean girl,” Suzanne Lambert, has ignited controversy with her ruthless trolling of Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and her older husband, Nicholas Riccio, over their 32-year age gap. Lambert, who boldly likes her political style to Regina George from the cult classic film “Mean Girls,” has already taken aim at Leavitt’s makeup and fashion choices, while also targeting the appearance of Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina).

Recently, Lambert escalated her attacks in a provocative TikTok video, insinuating that Leavitt harbors a desire to cut Medicaid for the elderly. With a smirk, she pointed out that 59-year-old Riccio will soon be eligible for the program designed for low-income seniors, suggesting that Leavitt’s motives might not be as altruistic as they seem. The implication was clear: Lambert is not just criticizing policies but is also questioning Leavitt’s personal life in a way that many found distasteful.

In response to Lambert’s biting commentary, Karoline Leavitt declared she would not let the matter go unchallenged. With a fierce determination, she vowed to address the personal attacks head-on, stating that such cruelty would not deter her from her duties. Leavitt’s reaction has only fueled the flames of this escalating feud, drawing attention to the often brutal landscape of political discourse, where personal lives become fodder for public ridicule.

‘Seeing as she’s literally the White House‘s most vocal supporter of stripping Medicaid rights from senior citizens and her husband is almost a senior citizen himself, it’s really clear what she’s trying to do and I admire her transparency,’ Lambert said in a video.

Leavitt married her husband, real estate developer Nicholas Riccio, in December 2023.

They welcomed their first baby in July, and she famously returned to work for President Trump days later.

She has said of her husband in the past: ‘He doesn’t have social media and he’s an introvert (complete opposite of me).

‘I respect his privacy on here—but he’s my number one fan, the best dad, and just the best man I’ve ever met.’

The pair are understood to have been introduced through friends.

Lambert, who is based in Arlington, Virginia, catapulted herself into social media infamy with a video on November 11, days after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

She called on liberals and Democrats to get meaner in the second era of Trump, suggesting that the ‘when they go low, we go high’ attitude of people like Michelle Obama hasn’t been effective in beating back the rising tide of conservatism.

‘Do you know how many reformed mean girls have been waiting for this exact moment in time? I’m an ex-SEC sorority girl, okay? I have three brothers and an Irish catholic mother. I know mean,’ she said, while dressed in a fur shawl.
