Title: White House Has a New Press Secretary

And she blasts the media.

The best part is the whiny reporter at the end saying "you were prepared for that!"

Yes, she was. Because (1) it's her job and (2) you stupid liberals are so UTTERLY predictable.

You don't want her coming back with 5 examples of your specific malfeasance? Don't play obvious gotcha games.

But you've proven you're too stupid to turn away from pain, like every other lower level organism knows to do, so we'll be enjoying this until her tenure is up.

I remember Kayleigh from when she used to be a Red Eye panelist. If this is a taste of how she'll handle all press conferences, I look forward to journalist tears.  :laugh:

Yeah, and I thought the "You were prepared for that!" "accusation" was pretty inane.

Of course she was, diphead.  But you loaded the round, closed the breech, locked it, and handed her the lanyard.

Man, she has been on a nonstop roll ever since taking the position.

She also did a good job extricating Trump from his "super duper missile" comment. Though I'm still not sure if he let something slip there or if it was already covered in one of the many military tech websites out there that seem to have leads for sensitive stuff.

I was disappointed to see Sarah Sanders step down but it looks like this fiery young woman is doing a damn good job.

I've liked all the press secs except the last one. They need to do some WWE style presser where some idjit lobs in another gotcha question and Sanders and Spicer pop out of the curtain to get it.

For better or worse white house press briefings are pretty adversarial. The fawning approval of the Obama years was a bit much, but I honestly feel like what we have now is too focused on scoring points, and we the people aren't getting info that is probably useful.

That said, it IS going to be a fight in there, and I can't blame the administration for wanting to win that fight.  The new secretary seems both willing and capable of delivering verbal beatings as often as needed.

Since she seems smart, capable,  and good at her job, I suspect she won't last all that long.  Those traits seem to lead one afoul of the CinC's temper sooner rather than later.

“You had Chris Cuomo saying, ‘the president knows that hydroxychloroquine is not supported by science. He knows it has been flagged by his own people and he’s using it,'” McEnany said during the press briefing on Wednesday as she highlighted attacks from the media on Trump taking the drug that he got from his doctor.

“Well, Cuomo mocked the president for this and interestingly, I found this out just before coming here, hydroxychloroquine, of course, is an FDA approved medication with a long proven track record for safety,” McEnany continued. “And it turns out that Chris Cuomo took a less safe version of it called quinine, which the FDA removed from the market in 2006 because of its serious side effects, including death. So really interesting to have that criticism of the president.”

And if you haven't read that laughably prolix post from Chris Cuomo's wife, on all the non-FDA-approved ways she is treating herself and her husband for Covid, you really are missing out. Links below to a collection of low-lights and to the full retard version.

Not that the MSM will ever take her suggestions to heart though.

I wish the press secretary didn't have to treat the media like the enemy. Sadly, it's the only approach that makes sense.

I made the mistake of browsing some comments on a yahoo news article and a few people were bashing her and Trump for being combative with the press.  I fail to see what they are complaining about.  The press has been combative with Republican Presidents for decades.  They ramped it up excessively in the last few years.  I wonder what they think when the press practically insults foreign dignitaries by commenting/asking about domestic issues when Trump is doing a joint press conference. 

I think this is it.

Man, she has got to be one of the most prepared Press Secretaries ever. Looks like she was going straight to her references as soon as this joker started speaking, and well done on calling out the double standard.

I am always heartened to see the liberal women attacking other woman for dressing or looking "slutty" when they don't like their politics.  I save them to throw back at my inlaws when I want out of a holiday visit.  I notice like the second comment in that is some liberal female talking about her "pink cocktail dress".  Stop slut shaming Karen.

Imagine some wrongthinker picking on the appearance of a liberal woman who had been through some pretty serious surgery that was likely to impact their self-image.

In more twitter fun:

1 Hour ago she started trending for "dancing around" a question by Fox's John Robert's regarding [yet another] denunciation of white supremacy.

https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1311689723438563329

45 min ago she tweeted @johnrobertsFox to check his WIFE'S story from yesterday:

This whole asking Trump about white supremacy thing is akin to "so when did you stop beating your wife?".

Which would be hilarious, because the people infected would be the ones screaming about not wearing masks (while the cameras are rolling), social distancing, or sanitizing hands, etc. If they were all practicing what they nag about, how could they have caught the virus?

Exactimundo.  I've lost track of the number of post-press conference camera feeds that were left live for a bit as the press got up and left the room.  Darn near every one of them were shucking their masks as soon as they stood up.
