CNN’s Jake Tapper explained on Sunday that he never interviews White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany because she “lies the way that most people breathe,” and he’s not wrong. “There are some people that are so mendacious, I just wouldn’t put them on air,” Tapper told Brian Selter on ‘Reliable Sources.’ “Kayleigh McEnany, I never booked her. Jason Miller from the Trump campaign, I would never book him. These are just people who tell lies the way that most people breathe. There was no value in that.”
Tapper went on to say that he has interviewed former White House counsel Kellyanne Conway because she’s “more of a filibusterer and a subject changer,” and that’s different from McEnany, who “tells lies all the time” and “can’t acknowledge reality.”
Watch:
.@jaketapper tells @brianstelter he won’t have @kayleighmcenany on his show because she “lies the way that, you know, most people breathe. There was no value in that…She can’t acknowledge reality. So I am just not going to put somebody like that on air.” pic.twitter.com/rHnvIhcZ1V

McEnany didn’t appreciate the criticism, so she took to Twitter to lash out at CNN, calling it a “personal attack.”
This is a therapy session for a broken network, and @jaketapper is lazy enough to participate by lobbing baseless personal attacks, with ZERO evidence.
Jake’s real problem:
I do not leak.
I do not lie.
But I DO call out the lies of the media (i.e. CNN Russia collusion hoax!) https://t.co/Gz0RWbwhJZ

Sorry I know it hurts but you lie at an incredible rate and here is just one example. “The president never downplayed the virus” even after the tape came out. Funny thing about audio/video is you can play it back!

You lied your first day when you said you would never lie

Now Kayleigh, I know you did not just break the 9th commandment and lie about not lying….

Lying about lying. We have reached the 4th Dimension.

You just told yet another lie.
And defrauded the U.S. government… pic.twitter.com/5q2AZiM4fa— Hugh G Merriman MD (@merriman_md) December 27, 2020
Think about this Kayleigh. You have participated in the most corrupt administration in American history that chose to attack others and sow division. A lot of the people that were attacked work in the restaurant industry & will be serving you food that might have extra flavor. 😉

Everyone in Trump’s administration seems to have the same characteristic of not taking responsibility for their own actions. And the worst part is that they shamelessly lied to the American people about the coronavirus.
