Kayleigh McEnany Again Treating Reporters With Condescension and Disdain — Now Slamming Jim Acosta on Twitter
Okay, someone has to get through to the racist, inexperienced, and shameless White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany. Someone needs to tell her that she is no longer the campaign spokesperson and to start treating some adults with the proper respect they deserve, rather than dripping condescension and spite. She has already chastised one experienced White House correspondent for not using Trump’s title as “President” in a tweet, Katherine Faulders, and now she is calling out CNN reporter Jim Acosta for reporting what his sources had relayed to him. First, Acosta’s two tweets:
At a meeting just prior to Wednesday’s briefing, task force members were discussing likelihood that some doctors on the panel would be asked by reporters about Kemp’s controversial move to open up many businesses in Georgia, like nail salons and bowling alleys, source added.

And now Kayleigh’s response to Acosta:
This is false, Jim.
No one “changed” President Trump’s view. I was with him all throughout the day. His mind was made up. His priority has always been to reopen the country SAFELY.
Next time consider checking with the White House Press Office before “reporting” inaccurate info. https://t.co/RznAaLqb3q

I would pay to see Jim Acosta tweet back in response: “I often check with the Press office, but because the former campaign spokesperson is now the press secretary, I do not find the press secretary’s word to be credible and will continue publishing what our sources tell us.”
It would likely be entirely true and entirely fair. I am not sure why any reporter would take Kayleigh’s word about anything. She is an unabashed racist, birther, and Trump supporter, who will do and say whatever is needed to promote Trump. She isn’t the least bit bothered by the “facts” when promoting her star. Kayleigh has no more credibility than Kellyanne and her “Bowling Green massacre” bullshit.
As Nicole Wallace has said many times – having worked as a spokesperson in the White House – every administration tries to bend the facts toward its view, but it’s only this administration that believes it can outright lie to your face.
Trump has published books noting that if one tells a lie long enough people adopt it as the truth. Now Kayleigh wants us to believe that Trump has always been against Georgia’s actions. This is absurd. The previous day – Tuesday – Dr. Birx stated that she wouldn’t “pre-judge” any state’s actions – obviously pushing Trump’s message to get the United States “open again.” On Wednesday Trump said he didn’t support Georgia’s actions.
Kayleigh is a liar, and her word on any of this shouldn’t be given any credence.

Peace, y’all
