Hey, remember when White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on her very first day on the job that she would never, ever lie to us? Well, obviously that was a big, fat lie. And now, her lying has gotten her temporarily banned from Twitter.
This week, McEnany accused the social media platform of holding a “gun to my head” after she posted a link to a bogus story about Joe Biden‘s son, Hunter.
Speaking to Fox News, McEnany, who recently tested positive for coronavirus, claimed she had been “permanently” banned from her personal account after sharing the wildly misleading tabloid article.
“It’s not a temporary blockage,” McEnany insisted. “When I log on to my Twitter account, it says I’m permanently banned!”
How about we take this to the next level?

Kayleigh McEnany has been banned from twitter for spreading misinformation. You can make this permanent by voting for Biden.

Except that McEnany wasn’t “permanently” banned. That was another lie.
The social media platform gave her the option of deleting the post and having access to her account restored.
“[They] essentially have me at gunpoint!” McEnany boasted to Fox News.
OK, let’s not be dramatic, Kayleigh.
As of late yesterday, McEnany’s personal Twitter page appears to be back up and running and she’s wasted no time declaring herself a victim of censorship and accusing Twitter, China, the media, big tech, the deep state, Hollywood elite, and “the swamp” of being against her.
TWITTER is against us.
THE MEDIA is against us.
BIG TECH is against us.
THE SWAMP is against us.
THE DEEP STATE is against us.
THE HOLLYWOOD ELITE is against us.
CHINA is against us.
But President Trump has the WORKING MAN AND WOMAN and NOTHING can beat that??

Kayleigh, honey? Sux2BU. Try telling the truth, maybe.

How do you know the story is bogus? Those were pictures of Hunter smoking crack. Supposedly the FBI has the original laptop, let’s see what becomes of finding that of verifying the authenticity. Newspapers run stories all the time that they have to correct because of errors.
She reposted a story in the New York Post and was given an ultimatum to take it down or not be able to use your account.
Twitter has since acknowledged that they made a mistake by banning the accounts reposting the story.
Social Media is not the arbitrator of truth, they are supposed to be a platform.
Do you want them to have control of your free speech? Unless the posting is a punishable crime like a threatening to kill someone, then it should be allowed.

Russian Troll. Give it up. Not only is the story untrue, but Giuliani may end up on trial for forging the emails.
But by all means, keep on wasting Putin’s money.

You actually believe that laptop was Hunter Biden’s and it took the genius investigative work of Rudy freaking Guliani to miraculously find it? Oh, with the help of some of HIS Russian cohorts. Coincidentally this happens scant weeks before an election. Have you seen Guliani lately? He is more unhinged than Dump. The man married a cousin for crying out loud. Doesn’t THAT tell you something about his thought processes?
The Republicans can justify any lie in their own small minds. They expect not only their ignorant, stupid sheep to buy their bull but everyone else too. they don’t even try to cover it a little When they get caught in a lie the excuses they give are 3rd-grade level logic or simply, well Hillary or Obama said or di this or that.
Sit down sometime and THINK. How would you or have you felt when someone lied to your face and you found out later? If you didn’t feel betrayed and humiliated someone would take advantage of you that way YOU aren’t fracking normal either.

@wancell If it’s Fake, if it’s Untrue, if it’s an Outright Lie, Yes, ban the idiots like her. Trump should’ve been banned from Every platform long ago for all his Lying. Every account pushing False Information as fact should be permanently banned. It’s not banning free speech, it’s banning Lies and Misinformation.

Another whiny THIN skinned Neo NAZI FASCIST republicon!! They can dish but can’t take it. What a bunch of spineless LOSERS !!

Wow, Kayleigh…so many against you.
Did you ever think to ask why?
Or even who? There’s no such thing as “deep state.” And YOU are the swamp

Not such a bogus story Queerty. Unfortunately it’s looking like the story is more true than false. Also Twitter and Facebook have apologized for the way they handled the suppression of the story. Dorsey even said it was unacceptable the way his company acted. Now the Repubs are going after them hard and they’ll soon be testifying before congress for what they did. Maybe somebody should look into them for election interference as well as Russia. All they did was help Trump and fire up his base. They are using what happened to distract from their man’s disastrous performance last night.
Cam
No, the story is bogus, and you are misrepresenting what Twitter said.
They still said the story was false, and that perhaps they should have labeled it that way instead of just blocking it.
The fact that you went out of your way to misrepresent this exposes your trolling.
jayceecook
Thanks for deleting/removing my reply to Cam Queerty. Took me a bit of time to type all that up. Bang up job there Q.
Cam
@jayceecook
Translation: You either lied or were harrassing because you couldn’t dispute facts and were trying to deflect from the fact that you were trying to amplify a pro-Trump false story.
You trolls are really REALLY bad at this.
Cam
She lied, got caught, and now is crying.

How in the world do they think going after Hunter Biden will negatively affect his father? In that respect people could have went after Trump’s brother who was an alcoholic and died from it. People are far more familiar with substance abuse in this country compared to 30 years ago. Everyone knows somebody whose life is/was affected by it and it is no longer looked as a moral issue. Trying to sway voters by showing pictures of Joe Biden’s son deep in his addiction would probably gain sympathy for Joe and show what strong man he is for enduring all the crap that he has been through and yet he still works to make the world a better place for ALL American’s.

A permanent ban would never be long enough.
