Leavitt caught Strahan during an interview on Wednesday when she defended Trump's efforts to force employees of the federal government back in their offices in Washington, DC.
Strahan expressed his concern that doctors and scientists from the government would leave their jobs in the federal government instead of going back to work five days a week in their offices.
“Is there any concern that we run the risk of losing people with years of experience such as doctors and say, scientists?” he asked.
“Well, most doctors who work in actual hospitals and medical institutions must appear in the office,” Leavitt replied.
Fans of Leavitt came to her support and describe her as the 'Grim Reaper' for news readers such as Strahan, a former NFL player for the New York Giants.
“Karoline Leavitt just took another soul on live TV,” wrote a supporter on X and shared video of the exchange. “She is like fake news' Grim Reaper. '
Video of the exchange went viral on social media and earned more than three million views.
'Stone-cold murderer. Will reach the status of the legend, “wrote Social Media User Jet.

She was grateful after Trump campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris Lacivita offered her a job, although she expected a child in the middle of the campaign.
She gave birth in July.
'It is true when they say that there is nothing similar to the love you feel for your child. My heart has become bigger than I ever suggested, “she wrote on Instagram to celebrate the birth of her son.
Leavitt even got to work three days later, after Trump was shot by a shooter during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“The president literally put his life at stake to win this election. The least I could do is quickly back to work, “she told the curator in an interview in October.
She was appointed by Trump to serve as a press secretary in the White House and took her place with other professionals in the White House.
“He doesn't care if you are a man or a woman, with children or no children,” Leavitt explained about the president. “He just wants the most difficult worker and the best person for the job. And that is what makes him a great boss. '
She said on social media that it was a difficult sacrifice to work in the White House, but an honor.
“I remind myself that this job is temporary, it is the chance of your life, and I know that one day he will be proud of his mom,” she told supporters.
Leavitt was viral in June after she expressed concern about CNN about 'biased' debate moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.
CNN -anchor Kasie Hunt cut off the microphone of Leavitt and ended the interview and stated that she would not stand for attacks on her colleagues and their journalistic integrity.
A fan noted that it was easier for a communication professional to be combative during a presidential campaign, but had to shift the tone after the president took office.

'It will be harder if you have to be merciful to those who wish the worst for your wishes. But she's doing well, “wrote Jesse Bronx on X.” We love Karoline Leavitt. '
Leavitt defended Trump's order for federal employees to return to the office.
“We know that employees are more productive and efficient when they work in an environment in the office,” she added.
Trump signed an executive order in which it was asked that federal agencies come up with a return to work plan to get employees back to the office.
“Don't forget that it is the American people that finance this government and they deserve people who actually come to work,” she said.
On Wednesday, Leavitt noted that only six percent of the federal employees in Washington, DC worked full -time in their offices.
“This government has wasted millions of dollars on empty office space that is beautiful, I mean, look at the beautiful buildings in this city. They are beautiful, they have been here for decades, “she said.
Earlier in the week, Trump gave an option for federal employees to take a buy -out, to get full wage and benefits until September if they chose to lay their positions.
They must resign before 6 February to take advantage of the proposal.
