Kayleigh McEnany seems to be adapting well to her job as White House Press Secretary. She has perfected the art of lying with a straight face. Now, she’s working on her spin.
Speaking to reporters yesterday, McEnany pushed back against claims that Trump was “hiding” from responsibility Friday evening when all the lights were turned off at the White House and he was locked in an underground bunker as protestors gathered outside.
“He was literally put in a bunker Friday night by the Secret Service,” a reporter said. “Would you agree that he is hiding out on this issue and is that a good posture to be in?”

“I would not agree with that at all,” McEnany replied without denying that Trump did, indeed, spend part of his weekend in a bunker that was designed for things like terrorists attacks and nuclear bombs.
She went on to say that she talked with Trump on the phone “at least half a dozen times” on Sunday, then she praised all the “action” he’s taken against protestors.
“Where the governors have failed, he’s stepped in,” she claimed.
“Make no mistake, this president has not been silent,” McEnany insisted, “and at this moment he is acting to protect this country from the lawlessness we saw just out here in Lafayette Park last night.”

At another point during the press conference, McEnany noted Donald Trump’s “long history” of condemning white supremacy.

I don’t see at all how this is “queer news” although Kayleigh might look a bit like a drag queen.

Sometimes queerty also posts about stories that are too big to ignore regardless of how queer.

Articles don’t have to actually use the word ‘Queer’ to be significant regarding Queer issues. “Black Lives Matter”, and the negative response from any governmental entity has vital implications for our LGBTQ community, too.

When the dust settles and the books are written, history will realize that Trump escalated the violence by tweeting useless strongman nonsense and emboldening the worst among us to incite a Civil War.

Maybe just maybe hi thinks, in his twisted brain, that making the headlines with escalating the violence is at least better as being responsible for the dead of tens of thousands people.

McEnany is yet another talking-head puppet for the “president’s” pie-hole. Remember, it’s in her job description to be her pastagrabber (a selfish, inconsiderate, knuckledragger with the IQ of a rotting cabbage) boss’s: liar, diverter, attacker, defender, illusionist, spinner, suckerupper — with an inexpressive face. Nice job, Kayleigh.

The one requirement for a Press Secretary, Spicer, Huckabee, now McEnany, is to be comfortable with lying.

I miss Spicer. He was easy to piss off and it was always funny. :>

Such a great idea to hire a human blow-up doll as a spokesperson.

Press Secretary Barbie lies as well as & as much as her Grand Dragon boss does.
