Watch as Jim Acosta Nails a Fleeing Kayleigh McEnany With the Truth, ‘Isn’t it Hypocritical of You to Accuse Others of Disinformation…’

By

Oh boy.

It appears that there is going to be a serious war between the press and Kayleigh McEnany between now and Biden’s inauguration day. Given that the Electoral College has voted and Trump is officially (at least under the constitution) on his way out the door, the press has less and less use for Kayleigh’s piousness, self-righteousness, and downright mean, antics from the press briefing room.

The members of the White House Correspondent’s Association are quite used to Kayleigh bashing the press, her arrogance, and her condescension, but they have never gotten used to her lies and the lectures she loves to give the reporters before she slams her notebook and huffs off like some damned hero.

Many of these reporters, including Acosta, have decades of experience covering the White House and they don’t like being lied to, nor lectured by, some early 30-something, arrogant and unserious Trumper.

She tried it again today. As always, she saved her sharpest knife to shiv the press at the end of the briefing. This time, she said it was nice to see some reporters (OANN, Newsmax) actually covering the “right part” of a story instead of the “disinformation” put out by the mainstream media. She slammed the book and headed to the door.

It was at that point Acosta had apparently had too much and loudly asked – as she walked out – if it wasn’t hypocritical to accuse others of passing along disinformation when she herself did so every day. Kayleigh pretended not to notice, and yet she had to have heard the question. The microphones picked it up perfectly.

Wow. But congratulations to Jim Acosta because it needed to be said. Congratulations on waiting until she was walking out the door because some protocol must still be followed. She left it to the very last sentence so that no one could ask about it and then lept to get out. She didn’t.

We suspect we’ll be seeing a lot more of these types of interactions as the White House gets more and more desperate while the days count down, and the reporters lose the will to even feign respect for this person.

Peace, y’all
