1/ Dear America, please meet your new press secretary Kayleigh McEnany! Many Americans still don't know her, but I've been following McEnany for some time. Here are some things McEnany, the new White House arbiter of truth, has said:
2/ McEnany once claimed Obama “rushed off to a golf game” after American journalist Daniel Pearl was beheaded. Pearl was beheaded in 2002 when Obama was a little-known Illinois senator. She later apologized. https://www.thewrap.com/cnn-kayleigh-mcenany-apologizes-for-daniel-pearle-obama-mistake/
3/ On CNN, once claimed that Trump doesn’t lie. “I don’t think this president has lied,” she said on Chris Cuomo, claiming Trump never misleads Americans. https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1166893567664459776?
4/ During the 2016 election, McEnany expressed concern that “there's New Black Panthers outside with guns, essentially like intimidating people from coming into the polls. He [Trump] wants people to be on the lookout." https://www.salon.com/2016/10/21/bullshter-of-the-day-kayleigh-mcenany-for-taking-racist-election-panic-to-the-next-level/
5/ McEnany once defended Trump for defending Rob Porter (who had been accused of domestic abuse by both of his ex-wives) by saying the Trump White House “stands with women, unmistakably.” An hour later Trump tweeted this: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/962348831789797381?
6/ In another CNN whopper, McEnany once claimed Trump was the “foregone nominee” from the start and
“never did anyone go up against President Trump. We loved our nominee." Trump lost Iowa to Ted Cruz, who famously avoided endorsing him. https://www.mediaite.com/tv/trump-campaign-spokesperson-claims-trump-who-lost-2016-iowa-caucus-was-foregone-nominee-from-the-beginning/
7/ One time — and hold your breath for this one! — McEnany chastised CNN for “spending no time covering Hillary Clinton’s emails.” https://www.mediaite.com/tv/trump-campaign-spokesperson-claims-trump-who-lost-2016-iowa-caucus-was-foregone-nominee-from-the-beginning/
8/ After Trump was rightfully ridiculed for his comments about grabbing women by their genitals, McEnany defended him by noting that Jay-Z once performed for Hillary Clinton and has said worse things about women https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/greatest-hits-new-rnc-rep-kayleigh-mcenany-article-1.3391566
9/ McEnany also repeatedly claimed there was "no proof" that Trump fired James Comey over Russia in the wake of Trump telling Lester Holt that he was thinking about how "this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story" when he fired Comey https://crooksandliars.com/2017/05/cnn-host-calls-out-kayleigh-mcenany
10/ Oh, also, as recently as March 12th McEnany was defending the Trump campaign's decision to continue holding rallies despite the coronavirus outbreak https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-campaigns-kayleigh-mcenany-grilled-by-foxs-stuart-varney-on-refusal-to-cancel-rallies-over-coronavirus
11/ She also claimed, just a few short weeks ago, that "we will not see disease like the coronavirus" come to America, contrasting that to the "awful presidency of President Obama." https://twitter.com/KFILE/status/1246454626905468931
END/ I know press people are gonna press. But if you thought Sean Spicer or Sarah Huckabee Sanders or no-presser Grisham were willing to bend reality to their whim, all I gotta say is: buckle up.
BTW, I should add that McEnany isn't some rube. She is a Harvard Law graduate. She went to Georgetown's foreign service school. So keep in mind when you watch these things that she a) doesn't believe most of what she says and b) is very, very smart. She knows what she's doing.
Ah, yes. Forgot about this tweet that is yet to be deleted: https://twitter.com/kayleighmcenany/status/240993516443037698
