Kayleigh McEnany vs. the Press Isn’t a Fair Fight
Although I write about the political media a lot, I don’t consume as much of it as most people might think. The political press in this country is full of tedious, irresponsible idiots, and who needs to subject themselves to that? White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany is changing my attitude on that a bit though.
McEnany so routinely chides the White House press corps that they’ll probably keep wearing masks long after the coronavirus pandemic is over just to hide their embarrassed faces.
Sarah Sanders was good at knocking the press pool around a little, but it’s McEnany’s style that I have fun watching. She effortlessly sneaks barbs in and she seems to really be enjoying herself.
Earlier in the month McEnany responded to a deliberately obtuse question from a reporter about Obamagate by noting that there had been a “lack of journalistic curiosity” in the press about the scandal.
Like her boss, McEnany is fond of reminding CNN what a bunch of hacks they are, which never, ever gets old.

ReplyDeleteKudos to McEnany for bringing a gun to this seemingly unending knife fight. She's loaded for bear, and that's a good thing.
I love this Lady!!!!😘👍MAGA2020
ReplyDeleteSHE'S THE BEST EVER IN THIS JOB!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd she does it with a smile!
ReplyDeleteYes she does. This young lady is a role model for young women of this country.
DeleteShe is making sure that Trump cannot be held accountable for anything, doesn't have to justify anything, and is gas lighting everything. She is helping forward pure propaganda.
ReplyDeleteInnocent people answer questions directly. Guilty people deflect, distort, and distract. Smoke and mirrors. Ask yourself, HONESTLY, what is going on here?
That is not good for the American people. No one wins here, neither party. The only losers here are the American people.
