While President Biden's face plant at the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony garnered the most attention, a pair of unforced errors committed by Donald Trump raised some questions about his electability in the 2024 election. Determined to damage his closest competitor for the Republican nomination, Trump assailed Gov. Ron DeSantis for his performance during the covid pandemic while simultaneously praising the performance of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The facts do not support Trump's claims. Accounting for age, the death rate from covid in New York was more than 300 per 100,000 inhabitants. In Florida, it was 245 per...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis responded to Donald Trump's recent attack on former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, saying that it was "really, really bad." "Donald Trump, even his greatest supporters have acknowledged, had a tough time picking good people. He had a lot of terrible personnel decisions, people like Jerome Adams, his Surgeon General...so we know there was a tough record, but Kayleigh was one of the greatest selections. She did a fantastic job," DeSantis, who is also a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, said while appearing on the NH Journal podcast on Friday. DeSantis added: "She's a Harvard-trained lawyer,...

One of the great secrets of successful institutions is that people are loyal to institutions that are loyal to them. If that pact gets broken at one end then it gets broken at both... This brings me to Donald J Trump. Earlier this week the 45th President sent out one of his trademark insults on his “Truth Social” platform. The target of his ire was not any Democrat or American-hater. It was Kayleigh McEnany, his former White House press secretary. “Kayleigh ‘Milktoast’ McEnany just gave out the wrong poll numbers on FoxNews,” said Trump. “I am 34 points up on...

Former President Donald Trump has lost a 2024 endorsement to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over his attack on Kayleigh McEnany. Trump lashed out at McEnany, his administration's White House press secretary, in a Truth Social post on Tuesday. The former president called McEnany "milktoast"—an apparent misspelling of "milquetoast," an insult for a timid or bland person—and insulted her current job as a Fox News host after she suggested during a broadcast earlier in the day that DeSantis could be "closing the gap" in Iowa's GOP primary race. On Thursday, James Spillane, a New Hampshire Republican state representative, told NHJournal that...

Kayleigh McEnany was a Never Trumper and open borders supporter during her time working for CNN.Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany backed open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens on CNN in 2015, telling Don Lemon that illegals are “here to stay” and that deportation is “not the American way” as she bashed the border hawk policies of then-candidate Donald Trump.Kayleigh McEnany served as a token Republican on CNN before her time with the Trump White House and took up the mantle of Never Trumpism and Koch Brothers-style open borders during her time on air. Now, a video compilation...

Kayleigh McEnany came under attack by her former boss on Truth Social last night. His very thin skin was pierced by the former White House press secretary, now a Fox News host and contributor. Kayleigh quoted a poll number Trump disagreed with and he went full force against her on his social media platform. (snip) Kayleigh was hired by Trump to replace Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I really liked Sarah in the job, too. Both women had the ability to stand firm against the daily attacks by the press corps and defend Trump. They didn’t back down when the dialogue heated...

She’s his new Mc-Enemy. Former President Donald Trump has turned on his one-time White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany — accusing her of inflating poll numbers for his key Republican rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. “Kayleigh ‘Milktoast’ McEnany just gave out the wrong poll numbers on FoxNews,” Trump fumed on Truth Social late Tuesday, just after his longtime supporter appeared on Jesse Watters’ Fox News show. Milktoast appeared to be a misspelling of “milquetoast,” a term for a timid or meek person. “I am 34 points up on DeSanctimonious, not 25 up,” he said, using his nickname for the Florida...

Fox News anchor Kayleigh McEnany is set to host the 8 p.m. time slot for the week of May 8 to May 12 after Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson parted the network.

The Twitter Files show how the FBI deputized Twitter to conduct illegal censorship of American citizens and undermine the First Amendment. ... Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter last October and the subsequent reporting on the “Twitter Files” by journalists Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss, and a handful of others beginning in early December is one of the most important news stories of our time. The “Twitter Files” story encompasses, and to a large extent connects, every major political scandal of the Trump-Biden era. Put simply, the “Twitter Files” reveal an unholy alliance between Big Tech and the deep state designed to...

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany sat down Wednesday with investigators from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, a source familiar confirmed to The Hill. McEnany, who was subpoenaed in November, appeared before the committee virtually. CBS News was the first to report her meeting with the panel. McEnany was subpoenaed alongside former Trump aide Stephen Miller and other White House employees, with her summons largely focused on false statements she made promoting baseless claims of voter fraud.

One-time White House national security advisor Michael Flynn, former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany and former President Trump’s personal assistant Nicholas Luna have been granted a delay in their depositions with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. A committee aide confirmed to The Hill that all three have been granted short postponements as they continue to “engage” with the committee. McEnany was scheduled to appear before the committee last Friday. Her subpoenas focused on false statements she made promoting baseless claims of voter fraud.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Sunday on “Reliable Sources” that he will not book White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on his shows because she tells lies the way most people breathe. Tapper said, “There are some people that are just so mendacious, I just wouldn’t put them on air. Kayleigh McEnany, I never booked her. Jason Miller from the Trump campaign, I would never book him. I mean, these are people who just — they just tell lies the way that, you know, most people breathe. There was no value in that.”

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany sparked anger and backlash on Twitter Monday after she ranted about what she described as President-elect Joe Biden’s “DIVISIVE” speech.Biden called out President Donald Trump’s futile efforts to overturn the 2020 election result in a fiery address after the Electoral College confirmed he would become the next president.“We all wish that our fellow Americans in these positions will always show such courage and commitment to free and fair elections, but it is my sincere hope we never again see anyone subjected to the kind of threats and abuse we saw from the selection,” said...

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has called on the world to join her in a live prayer group on Thursday. In a tweet sent out the day before, McEnany wrote: “Who would want to join a LIVE prayer group tomorrow?” This tweet appears to be a follow-up to a previous tweet on election day where she wrote in all caps: “GOD IS IN CONTROL!!” The statement seems to be a reference to the frustration felt by many Trump supporters after allegations of nation-wide voter fraud began to surface across the United States. This was just the latest from a...

Twitter restricted a recent New York Post story about Joe Biden and his son and then cracked down on accounts that shared the report. How we got here: Facebook said it will slow down the spread of the story until its fact-checkers confirm its authenticity and Twitter cited its policy against sharing hacked materials. “While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners,” Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone tweeted Wednesday. “In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our...

From the failed Chris Wallace-Biden tag-team attempt against Trump, to biased moderator Susan Page’s shrill interruptions of Vice President Pence, to the Presidential Debate Commission’s ridiculous and politically motivated effort to force a “virtual debate” on Biden’s behalf, patriotic Americans have caught on to the fact that there is something deeply unfair about the presidential debates. This clear bias has justifiably led many observers to wonder what is wrong with the Presidential Debate Commission. Just yesterday, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany called out the Commission directly: Kayleigh’s characterization of the Commission is of course correct. However, its corruption and...

Kayleigh McEnany tested positive today. She's asymptomatic.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany defended President Trump on Thursday over the fallout from comments he made during this week's debate about the "Proud Boys" and said he has “denounced white supremacy” repeatedly, calling his record on the issue “unmistakable.” McEnany, during a heated White House press briefing on Thursday, called the news coverage of the president's comments “shameful” and claimed the media “refuses” to cover his response. “The president has denounced white supremacy, the KKK, hate groups of all forms, he signed a resolution—just last week, he expressed his desire to see the KKK prosecuted as domestic terrorists,”...

CNN political analyst and former Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart had some extreme criticism of two of President Trump's most prominent spokespeople: White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and Trump campaign director of communications Tim Murtaugh. Lockhart, who has a history of firing from the hip on Twitter, suggested on Tuesday that if he were to have conducted himself the way McEnany and Murtaugh have while serving the 42nd president, he would have hoped to face consequences. "I worked as Press Secretary to a President. If I ever acted like @PressSec I'd hope someone fired me," Lockhart said about McEnany....
