Kayleigh McEnany Compares Trump’s Church Photo Op to Bush at Ground Zero After 9/11
Everyone should have the opportunity to watch the horror of a Kayleigh McEnany press conference. She must have studied the dark arts in how to avoid a question while sliding a knife between someone’s ribs.
Kayleigh insists that our eyes deceived us with respect to the police attack in Lafayette Park. Tear gas was not used, even though it was apparent on the video that some sort of gas was used. She also said that rubber bullets were not used, despite the fact that we have seen the bruising on various people from rubber bullets. We saw a peaceful protest dispersed by officers attacking, punching, hitting – all the stuff we’ve seen on video. But the video must be wrong according to Kayleigh.
Kayleigh said that officers had a “right” to do what they did. It’s like she invented the term gaslighting, or the term shameless.
.@presssec "It didn't happen" in a timely way she says…when pressed on why if order to move perimeter and protesters was given in the morning that it did not take place until minutes before the president's movement Tuesday evening.

Moving the perimeter back came about due to Barr ordering it on the spot, so she gave two conflicting answers. Officers defending themselves, versus moving the perimeter back.
"They acted with the appropriate level of force," the White House says of the largely peaceful protesters who were aggressively cleared from the park using smoke canisters and pepper balls. The admin continues to dispute it was tear gas, though even the CDC considers it so.

She listed every single officer hurt or killed across the country, without noting the hundreds of civilians beaten senseless by officers.
Additionally, and she simply cannot emphasize this enough, we citizens appear incapable of appreciating Trump’s greatness. He is that great. We don’t see it. Kayleigh begs us to appreciate Trump’s perfection, both in his actions and his decisions. Trump is extremely strong and he hasn’t done one thing wrong. He is perfect, if only we could see it.
McEnany says Trump's visit to St. John's Monday is on par with Churchill visiting war bunkers and W throwing out the first pitch during the World Series after 9/11.

See? Like Churchill in World War II and Bush rallying the country after 9-11. Trump is like that! The greatness just has to hit you between the eyes. Get it g-damnit!
There is one difference between Churchill and Trump:

Trump is about to dump the FBI director (again) and the Secretary of Defense Esper, again:
The White House will not say if President Trump has confidence in his defense secretary or FBI director………
— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) June 3, 2020
She implies that we cannot appreciate the travesty of “spying upon the Trump campaign,” even though the FBI was spying on Russians and the Trump people were lying about it. If you’re not outraged then something’s wrong with you. Trump has all the power in the world to do whatever he wants, but whatever Obama did is an outrage. This, of course, is according to Kayleigh.
But this is what is amazing, Kayleigh actually compared Trump’s pathetic photo op, holding a bible to former President George W. Bush going to Ground Zero after 9/11. Not even close, sis.
Here’s Kayleigh McEnany comparing Trump’s photo-op, which occurred after peaceful protesters were violently cleared out, to Winston Churchill surveying bombing damage and George W. Bush visiting Ground Zero after 9/11. pic.twitter.com/Fj0In7mNrb

Then Kayleigh had the nerve to say that Martin Luther King Jr. would’ve approved of Trump’s photo op:
Jim Acosta says “[Dr. King] likely would not have approved of what took place Monday evening across from the White House…” when Trump visited the church.@PressSec isn’t having any of it, says there was no tear gas or rubber bullets and protesters were asked to move 3 times. pic.twitter.com/LggNwwx8qS
