Kayleigh McEnany Launches Disgusting Attack on CNN’s Brianna Keilar and Then Storms Off From Briefing

K-Mac is going to mac, every day, that’s what she does. But today Kayleigh went waaay too far.

We have often noted that Kayleigh is confused about the White House press secretary’s job description. Kayleigh believes that her job involves spending the last five minutes of every press conference lambasting the media, lecturing them like a second-grade teacher about how they continually fail her, insulting the media by instructing them on how to do their jobs and what to report, and then – like the coward she is – picking up her notebook in the “Kayleigh Huff” and marching out.

It was “old” the first time she did it and it only gets worse.

But today she essentially blamed Brianna Keilar for the two policemen shot last night in Louisville. Keilar’s “crime” according to Kayleigh is that Keilar said on air that she questioned the Kentucky Attorney General’s statement that “mob justice is not justice.” Kayleigh went on to say that it shouldn’t surprise anyone – given Keilar’s statement – that two officers were shot last night. Kayleigh then read through a list of officers who have been injured on the job in the last few months.

We have not seen Keilar’s statement. But just judging by Kayleigh’s characterization, it sounds far more like a comment on a mob’s reaction to clear “injustice.” When people cannot count upon “justice” from the authorities, there is nothing but injustice, and that can often provoke crowds to react as mobs. But even a “mob reaction” doesn’t entail attacking police. Nowhere did Kayleigh even accuse Keilar of saying actually attacking police was acceptable or even to be expected.

And again – rather than stand there and face the questions that the press would naturally have about such a loaded accusation, she marches out like she’s the big badass that just “won” in her battle over the press. It is disgusting and getting increasingly tired. She is reckless and a necessary component to the Trumpification of this country.

Kayleigh says that Keilar doesn’t respect “life,” which is just too rich coming from an administration that has overseen the deaths of 203,000 – “it is what it is” – and hasn’t respected the lives taken by Kyle Rittenhouse, to say nothing of Breanna’s life, which apparently meant nothing to the city of Louisville.

Kayleigh the lil’ birther is right at home in the Trump administration.

Americans were pissed:

****

Peace, y’all
