Just as happened with Sean Spicer at the beginning of Trump’s first presidency, the White House press secretary is posting embarrassing details about the president’s sparse crowds.

According to the Daily Beast, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who recently returned from maternity leave, posted a photo of herself with her son standing at the Great American State Fair this weekend. And in the photo, just about no one else was present.

“In the photo, Leavitt holds her nearly two-year-old son Niko in front of the plywood replica of Trump’s proposed ‘Triumphal Arch’ on the National Mall, but the scene behind her doesn’t appear to show a particularly bustling event,” the Beast says. Leavitt was also interviewed by Fox News’ Peter Doocy, during which “the crowd behind Leavitt during the interview was also notably sparse.”

Social media users had quite a few comments about the moment:

Meanwhile, on Friday night, the Vanilla Ice Freedom 250 concert, the one that wasn’t canceled along with all of the other ones, was scrapped due to inclement weather.
