Kayleigh McEnany's Friday briefing was the first formal White House briefing with the press secretary in more than a year.

Kayleigh McEnany gave the first formal White House daily press briefing in more than a year, and it was much more conventional than the ones held by her predecessors.McEnany maintained a calm and friendly tone, but misleads on questions about Michael Flynn.

McEnany declined to answer a question about Trump's campaign travel plans. White House officials are prohibited by law from using their official platform to engage in political campaigning. Yet there were definite moments when her most recent position, as a Trump campaign spokeswoman, shone through. On Friday, McEnany said the administration planned to do more daily briefings. "I will announce timing of that forthcoming," she said, "but we do plan to continue these."

By contrast, Friday's briefing with McEnany felt more like a press briefing from the pre-Trump era, before the president of the United States had ever labeled the press the "enemy of the people." Asked about the victorious tone adopted by some administration officials this week regarding the coronavirus pandemic, which continues to kill more than 1,000 Americans every day, McEnany said the tone was entirely appropriate.

Flynn was fired in early 2017 after lying to the vice president and the FBI about his contacts with foreign ambassadors. He later pleaded to guilty to lying to the FBI. Newly released FBI documents reveal an internal discussion in early 2017 about how to interview Flynn.

Think Trump has banged any of these chicks?

Mislead on Flynn question, RUFK? The question by Roberts had no answer because it was hypothetical and she responded appropriately by asking why isn’t the media outraged by the FBI tactics. The media balked.

Breaking: For some reason, RAPEY JOE plans to attend all White House Press Conferences. Wants to interview the the press secretary alone.

Ofc it’s a “good looking “ puppet

Yes, Trump was elected to be a traditional President. The corporate media still does not get it.

Of course. She is another woman being used by Trump as 'eye candy' to make himself feel better and his cronies (aka maga base) drool in envy of him🤬 Misogyny at its finest!

Yes, but she stuck with Trump Tradition and lied her way through it. WhiteHousePressBriefing

Is she a presidential press person or a very fast and cagey running back ? This has nothing to do with efficient conservative government. Entertainment A quick mouth no answer no depth performance. With NOT one real answer. Just trying to control the narrative with fast talking.

The Coronavirus bank robber, give me your money or I will take off my mask

Her job is to lie. That is the primary reason why Mrs. McEanany was hired: to lie tot he American public. Her boss Donald Trump lies. He lies on all issue large and trivial. His lying is clinically pathological. So, yes, lies will continue flowing from this White House

She has smart and hot privilege

White House aims for coronavirus vacccine by end-year under new project: reportThe White House is pulling out the stops to get a coronavirus vaccine to the public by the end of the year, and has set up a project that will combine military, government agencies and drug companies to make that happen, Bloomberg reported, citing sources. "Operation Warp Speed" is aimed at slashing development time for a vaccine to an unprecedented eight months, with 300 million doses ready by January. The project aims to cut development time by fast testing promising experimental vaccines in animals, then switch to coordinated human clinical trials to narrow possible candidates. The White House was due to hold a meeting on the project Wednesday, the report said. Markets have been pinning hopes on Gilead's experimental drug remdesivir, with reports of some success in trials rallying Wall Street stocks Wednesday. A measured non-rushed approach is best most ppl will not even consider a vaccine created without the proper testing. This is simply market manipulation and these statements should be considered as such only... Riiiiiiight
