It’s certainly no secret that Donald Trump has worked his way through his fair share of press secretaries in the 3 years and some change since he took office.
However, in my personal opinion, none of them have been quite as arrogant and insufferable as Kayleigh McEnany.
Frankly, Kayleigh possesses an air of haughtiness and pomposity that she wields along with her surprisingly thorough education that’s sure to make Sarah Huckabee Sanders shudder in jealousy every night.
It’s truly a disgusting thing to watch. And I am far from the only one who feels this way.

In an all-encompassing profile published by The Atlantic today, Emma Green takes a long, hard look at the newest press secretary’s rise to the White House, her antagonistic relationship with the media in this country, and even touched on the press secretary’s history as a Conservative Christian.
The Atlantic’s Emma Green writes:
McEnany began her life as an evangelist among the masses. ‘KMac,’ as she was called, stood out as a Protestant at the Academy of the Holy Names, a Catholic girls’ school in Tampa, Florida, choosing to write about Jesus, whom she called ‘my hero,’ for a sixth-grade poetry assignment: ‘I shout his name,’ McEnany wrote, ‘for he is king.’ She grew up in a conservative Republican household in nearby Plant City, and her father operates a roofing business.”
Kayleigh’s behavior, actions, and, rhetoric in her newest role in the Trump White House has now clearly left many of her former Christian mentors rather disturbed.
“McEnany’s role in the Trump administration played differently on the Facebook page of her alma mater, the Academy of the Holy Names,” Green continues in her profile. “When the school announced her promotion to press secretary, a debate broke out in the comments over whether the academy should be congratulating her at all. Some classmates expressed confusion about how their Christian education aligns with the vision of politics she promotes.”
Some of Kayleigh’s former classmates jumped to defend her new role in the Trump White House. However, one former teacher of McEnany’s spoke to Green and expressed their dismay and disappointment in the changes they’ve seen in their former student.
“We taught that truth was not expediency but was the touchstone of relationships,” the teacher explained to Green. “Much of the rhetoric I have read and interviews I have seen when she was a commentator on television show how far from [the academy’s] values she now espouses. This saddens me.”
