- White House Communications Director Steven Cheung and Democratic Representative Rosa DeLauro engaged in a social media spat following a congressional hearing.
- Cheung initiated the exchange by posting a comment on X, criticising DeLauro's appearance and demeanour during the hearing.
- DeLauro directly responded to Cheung's post, remarking on his comment about her gesticulations.
- This online confrontation follows a previous incident in April where the official White House account also posted a personal insult about DeLauro's hair.
- The exchange occurred despite recent calls from the White House for political opponents and the media to reduce hostile rhetoric, and President Donald Trump's documented history of publicly criticising opponents with personal insults.
