Leavitt surprised Strahan during an interview when she defended President Donald Trump’s efforts to get federal workers back to work in Washington, DC.

Strahan said he was worried that government doctors and scientists would quit their jobs rather than go back to their offices five days a week.

Strahan asked: “But is there any concern we risk losing people with years of experience like doctors and — and let’s say scientists?”

Leavitt seized the moment and shot back: “Well, most doctors who work in actual hospitals and medical institutions have to show up to the office. We know that employees are more productive and more efficient when they are working in an in-office environment and that’s what this administration expects. And I think that’s what American taxpayers expect. Don’t forget it’s the American people funding this government. They deserve people who are actually showing up to work on their behalf.”
