After damning excerpts from legendary journalist Bob Woodward’s book ‘Rage’ was released, and also audio of Donald Trump admitting that he downplayed the coronavirus pandemic that has now killed over one hundred and ninety thousand Americans, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s press conference has been delayed. We’re sure that’s a coincidence. McEnany will be brutalized by reporters considering there are literally audio tapes of what almost appears to be inadvertent confessions from the president.
McEnany just came out to the podium after being an hour late. She has some serious damage control to do less than two months ahead of the November election.

I am just going to pray the only thing we hear from them is that Donald J Trump is resigning.

Hit her hard! don’t allow to obfuscate. He stood there in the same room in March and “Lied”. @svdate

McEnany finally took to the podium to feign that Trump was just trying to prevent panic from the public. Still, he literally lied to the American people, knowing weeks before the first confirmed US coronavirus death hit that the disease was dangerous and “more deadly than even your strenuous flu.” Trump downplayed the virus last night while in North Carolina at his rally and even mocked social distancing guidelines. And why not — this guy actually altered a weather map once.
The president has repeatedly played the coronavirus pandemic down publicly, so how this woman can defend him when it’s all on tape is beyond me. Every single person in this administration that allowed this to go on should be held accountable. Oh, and the Senate, too.
