Ouch!

During Kayleigh McEnany’s short White House press briefing on Tuesday that took place the day after electors across the United States confirmed that Joe Biden is the President-elect, she lashed out at the press. McEnany does that frequently, of course, and she doesn’t seem to realize that her job description is right in her job title: White House press secretary. And she is also a Trump campaign adviser. Hence, it was odd when McEnany said, “I have to refer you to the campaign on anything regarding the election” regarding Biden’s electoral victory.

Donald Trump and his enablers love to call any media figures critical of the administration ‘fake news,’ and yet, the biggest purveyor of fake news is the president. McEnany, too, has lied on numerous occasions, and even though the taxpayers pay her, she appears to be working for an audience of one.

As she lashed out at the media once again with Trump’s time in office coming to a close in January, CNN’s Jim Acosta got the last word on Tuesday, saying, “Isn’t it hypocritical of you to accuse others of disinformation when you spread it everyday?”

Watch:

McEnany quickly left the room with her dignity, nowhere to be found.  And that’s cool because she’ll be gone next month, too, as the administration exits the White House with their toxic resumes in hand. The Trump administration treated the press poorly from the start, including blacking out windows while putting media members in his golf club’s basement. Trump called the press the ‘enemy of the people’ for daring to be critical of his presidency. So, for McEnany to call out the press is laughable at best. The party of victimization can crawl out of office the same way they slithered into office.

And right now, as Trump is tearing away at the very fabric of our democracy, McEnany aired her grievances about the press. She should go into another field. Maybe she could be a Walmart greeter; I don’t know.
