James S. Brady Press Briefing Room1:11 P.M. ESTMS. MCENANY: Hello, everyone. Good afternoon. Yesterday, the United States witnessed a medical miracle: The first doses of a COVID vaccine were administered to frontline workers across the country. The President promised a safe and effective vaccine in record time, and President Trump delivered.Earlier this year, we heard from several news outlets and so-called fact checks that President Trump would need, quote, “a ‘miracle’ to be right.” That was an NBC News article. We were told, according to Healthline, quote, a vaccine will “still take more than a year to develop.” USA Today...

President-elect Joe Biden proudly has announced that his White House senior communications team will be "filled entirely by women." As a woman, I like to see women break barriers and take a seat in what used to be men's clubs. But it's hard to get excited at the notion that Biden's upper-press operation will be Ladies Only. Men represent some 49 percent of the population, so you'd think there would be a place for at least one of them in the top seven plum spots. Mayhap Team Biden was finding it hard to come up with "firsts." Dee Dee Myers,...

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on lockdown hypocrisy from Democrat politicians

With images of "Democrat hypocrisy" playing on a loop behind her, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany addressed reporters from the James S. Brady Press briefing room on Wednesday. She listed a few of the more infamous incidents of liberals breaking their own COVID orders, including the footage of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi walking around a hair salon without a mask, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom dining both maskless and indoors at the fancy French Laundry restaurant, despite strict orders against indoor dining. "Rules for thee, but not for me," McEnany concluded. "They act in a way that their own...

Kayleigh McEnany told Mark Levin on Sunday that Democrat secretaries of state redesigned elections across the nation in an effort to prop up candidate Joe Biden. In an appearance on Life, Liberty, and Levin, McEnany said, “These Democrat secretaries of state, I can’t express enough, Mark, what they have done …. They were consistently misrepresenting their opinion, changing deadlines, designing a system to prop up Democrats and Joe Biden.” McEnany, the White House press secretary who also advises President Trump’s reelection campaign, said the allegations of election fraud deserve to be heard in the courts. She detailed allegations of software...

Tucker Carlson has taken a thinly-veiled swipe at fellow Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto after he cut away from White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany when she repeated Trump's claims of illegal voting. Carlson accused the media of censoring coverage they 'don't like' after several news stations refused to give air time to the president and his White House staff. During the opening monologue of his talk show on Monday night, the news anchor criticized the media for dismissing the concerns of 'tens of millions of Americans' who no longer 'believe that our democracy is real'.

Mark says Kayleigh will be on the program tonight at the bottom of the hour and, "no", he "will not cut her off."

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany predicted Wednesday that President Trump will defeat Joe Biden by roughly 40,000 votes in Pennsylvania as the campaign launched a legal battle challenging the handling of ballots in the hotly contested state. McEnany echoed Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who descended on Philadelphia alongside Trump's legal team earlier Wednesday citing claims of "massive cheating." "Philadelphia, in particular, has a history of very peculiar results," McEnany, who also serves as a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, told Fox News' Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. "You had 59 different precincts where Mitt Romney got precisely zero...

Aboard Air Force One En Route Joint Base Andrews  October 29, 2020 7:40 P.M. EDTMS. MCENANY:  So I just wanted to give you guys an explanation of where we were.  We were obviously outside of Fort Bragg.  So the President met with Army Special Operations Forces.  He gave the Presidential Unit Citation to our heroes who conducted the al-Baghdadi raid.  What was it — a year and three days ago today?  In Syria.  It was a really special moment.  It meant a lot to the President.  He was with our heroes for about an hour, just having casual conversation, taking...

Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, America has the most resilient economy in the world. This morning, we learned that the economy grew 33.1% on an annualized basis in a single quarter, by far the largest in recorded history. The United States has now regained the majority of its pandemic-related loss of output, and we are exceeding all of the experts’ expectations.This super V-shaped recovery is even stronger than the headline figures suggest. The economy is firing on all cylinders: consumption rose 41 percent last quarter, housing was up 59 percent, and private business investment soared 83 percent. If that was...

Today, the Trump Administration finalized the most far-reaching price transparency reform in the history of American healthcare – fulfilling a commitment President Donald J. Trump made to the American people. As a result of today’s action, health insurance companies will finally be required to disclose to the public the price they pay for covered services and prescription drugs. Further, insurance companies will be required to disclose the estimated cost a patient will have to pay, prior to that patient receiving care. In June of last year, President Trump signed the healthcare transparency Executive Order and promised the American people he...

The riots in Philadelphia are the most recent consequence of the Liberal Democrats’ war against the police.  Law enforcement is an incredibly dangerous occupation, and thousands of officers have given their lives in the line of duty.  All lethal force incidents must be fully investigated.  The facts must be followed wherever they lead to ensure fair and just results.  In America, we resolve conflicts through the courts and the justice system.  We can never allow mob rule.  The Trump Administration stands proudly with law enforcement, and stands ready, upon request, to deploy any and all Federal resources to end...

President Donald J. Trump has informed Congress of his intent to formally rescind Sudan’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism.  This follows on Sudan’s recent agreement to resolve certain claims of United States victims of terror and their families.  Yesterday, in fulfillment of that agreement, the transitional government of Sudan transferred $335 million into an escrow account for these victims and their families.By finally serving justice for the American people, President Trump was able to achieve what previous presidents could not – the resolution of longstanding claims of victims of the East Africa embassy bombings, the attack on...

This week, the White House released the first-ever comprehensive National Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking. The National Action Plan (NAP) represents the broad-based, multi-disciplinary, whole-of-government strategy of the United States to eradicate human trafficking. This plan is built around the three pillars laid out in the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000: Prevention, Protection, and Prosecution. The NAP’s fourth pillar recognizes the invaluable benefit of implementing collaborative and cooperative efforts that crosscut all three pillars and involve a multitude of stakeholders and professionals from various disciplines and sectors. Under the heading of each pillar, the NAP identifies foundational principles...

Today, President Trump released the “National Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technologies,” which outlines how the United States will promote and protect our competitive edge in fields such as artificial intelligence, energy, quantum information science, communication and networking technologies, semiconductors, military, and space technologies.As our competitors and adversaries mobilize vast resources in these fields, American dominance in science and technology is more important now than ever, and is vital to our long-term economic and national security.  The United States will not turn a blind eye to the tactics of countries like China and Russia, which steal technology, coerce companies...

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Wednesday was locked out of her personal Twitter account for sharing The Post’s bombshell cover story on Hunter Biden’s alleged hard drive and an email linking Joe Biden to his son’s job at a Ukrainian energy company. “Your account has been locked,” a message from the social media network informed McEnany, whose account has more than 1 million followers. “We have determined that this account violated the Twitter Rules,” the network said, highlighting her prior tweet with a link to The Post’s article. Without providing any evidence, Twitter said McEnany — who shared...

@JackPosobiec BREAKING: Twitter has locked the account of White House Press Secretary @KayleighMcEnany

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...
