WOW: Kayleigh McEnany Refuses to Say Whether Trump Is Happy About the Outcome of the Civil War

The racist in the White House is having a harder and harder time avoiding having to answer for that racism. On the one hand, he definitely wants to retain his appeal to that base that loves him precisely because he winks at racists as his type (very fine people on both sides), and on the other hand – he looks like a white hooded racist while doing it.

Reporters are circling like sharks, asking a variety of questions pertaining to Trump’s beliefs on race. At today’s White House briefing, reporters noted that Trump seems to care deeply about the feelings of southerners who don’t want their “heritage” looked down upon (which includes slavery and cheering on sedition) and thus it is natural to ask the president of the United States if he is happy that the United States won the Civil War.

Kayleigh – as Kayleigh normally does – acted insulted by the question, she’s often insulted by anyone who dares to question Trump and gave a nondescript answer which didn’t include affirming that Trump is happy that the south was defeated in the Civil War.

Kayleigh was asked: (From Rawstory)

“The president has repeatedly inserted himself into this debate. And I think a lot of people are trying to understand what his view of memorializing the Confederacy is.”

“Does President Trump believe that it was a good thing that the South lost the Civil War?” the reporter asked. “And is he interested in following NASCAR’s example and banning the Confederate flag at his own events?”

Closely note Kayleigh’s answer:

“Well, your first question is absolutely absurd,” McEnany replied without providing a direct answer. “He’s proud of the United States of America.”

Except that’s not what was asked, Kayleigh, and you know it. Kayleigh then moved on to firmer ground, lashing out at those people tearing the statues down:

“Those tearing down statues will be punished to the fullest extent of the law,” McEnany added. “He will not stand for lawlessness and chaos. He stands with the 71 percent of Americans who say there is no place for tearing down statues as these anarchists are doing across the nation.”

Yes, “LAW AND ORDER” we’ve heard it all before. How about those individuals across the United States who expect the president to do something when another country puts a price on the head of U.S. soldiers. One of the themes coming out of the weekend is that people believe that Trump cares more about bronze replicas of traitorous soldiers who have been long dead than flesh and blood loyal soldiers alive in Afghanistan but being hunted down for bounties.

Yet Kayleigh is so very offended by “absurd questions.” How dare anyone question the integrity of the man who tweets “White Power” videos.
