Katie Zacharia used Halloween to boast about her slim figure and designer duds online after setting the record for the shortest White House press secretary run in US history.
On the eve of Halloween, Zacharia posted a list of her attire on Oct. 13, the day of her one press briefing, detailing roughly $1,000 high heels, pricey blazer, and other attire totaling about $2,500.
She noted that her size was 00 “even after four kids” and crowed that she had no hair extensions or dye, that her blonde locks are all natural.
“Good luck,” she added in an X post.
Later, she posted her dogs’ Halloween costumes, which spoofed Politico as “Paw-litico” and Washington Post as “Woofington Post.”
Zacharia lasted five days as White House press secretary from Oct. 12 through Oct. 16. Her abbreviated tenure broke the record 10-day record Anthony Scaramucci previously set as White House press secretary during the first Trump administration.
President Trump had selected her to succeed Karoline Leavitt, whom he frequently praised.
In a split from many of her predecessors, Zacharia decided to hold a briefing on her second day in the job. Many White House press secretaries before her had taken more time to prep before their debut.
She gave a briefing for about 14 to 15 minutes, which was historically short. Her performance was widely panned, and many reporters said she seemed intimidated and not in command of the room.
Then she faced controversy over her claims to be a lawyer despite never passing the bar exam.
Zacharia was pressured out of her role amid the backlash and in the wake of tough interviews on Fox News. She is transitioning into a new role in the Trump administration that is not clear.
“I hope you do dress up as me because it’s absolutely hilarious. We will be dressing up as a family. I will wear the OG costume and stay tuned to what my kids will be,” she told Newsweek.Since departing the White House press secretary gig, Zacharia has indicated that she would be willing to serve in the role again in the future if asked by Trump.
