Unfortunately, because Donald Trump is president until noon on January 20, 2021, we’re still going to have to deal with being gaslit by White House officials for a little while longer.
Soon-to-be-ex-White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany went on Fox and Friends this morning to talk about Trump’s epic loss, which she says is actually an epic win.
“We expect to continue on as the Trump administration,” she said, adding that “all laws are being followed.”
But that’s not even the weird part.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Asked whether Trump would allow President-elect Joe Biden to receive daily intelligence briefings as he prepares to take over the job in January, McEnany declined to answer the question, instead kicking it back to the White House.
“I haven’t spoken to the president about that,” she said, adding, “That would be a question more for the White House.”
Of course, the person at the White House who would answer that question… is Kayleigh McEnany. So she essentially told Fox & Friends that she couldn’t answer the question and that they would need to ask her instead.
Confused?
This might help explain things…
For the past few weeks, McEnany has been appearing on Fox News as a “private citizen” and Trump campaign adviser, not as the White House press secretary–two jobs she has been holding simultaneously despite ethics complaints.
Whether or not this is even legal is up for debate. The Hatch Act prohibits government employees from engaging in campaign activity in their official roles. But it’s not like that has ever stopped the Trump klan before.
69 days until Inauguration Day, folx!

Kayleigh is probably worried most of all that she might receive an indictment for transgressions of the said Hatch Act. I don’t think anyone amongst the White House staff wants to make things worse for themselves than they are already, in a legal sense rather than in terms of public opprobrium. Several of the family could fact long rap sheets. They have all long since sacrificed any personal credibility they may have had but they don’t want further legal jeopardy if they can avoid it.

Dump plans on running for president again in 4 years.
Can that be done from a prison cell?

I think it’s pretty obvious Trump has brainwashed his entire staff. Unbelievable, sad and disgusting.

I hope CNN don’t make the mistake of hiring her again when she loses her job Jan 20. It will be so nice never to hear from this whack job ever again.

I wish the media would ignore this entire useless, lying, lame-duck “administration.” They offer nothing of substance.

She simply makes her possible employability after Jan 20 even more improbable. What reputable individual or company would want to employ someone who is so clearly deceptive and self-serving? Working for Trump should be the end of employment for any career politician. Those people have enabled the worst ever ‘president’ to practically create another civil war by his attacks on democratic institutions, not to mention his racism, homophobia, corruption and general incompetence. This ‘lady’ is his very public enabler. I would love to see her trying to live off social security.

“That would be a question more for the White House.”
The actual building would probably give better answers to questions than she can. “If these walls could talk” and so on.
