Gee..another racist in the WH who would of thought?

You mean completely false and utterly contemptible...oh, that’s right down potus’s alley!!! WeLikeLiarsAroundHere WelcomeToTheCircus

She looks like she’s full of fake facts

Did she brought her knee pads with her? she will be using those a lot!!!

What a circus show 😂

is this the best you can report?

Was Barbie not available?

Another swamp thing

She is self serving, and intolerant to differing ideas. Whenever she's on, the station changes to something more reliable and thought provoking, like reruns of Jersey Shore 👍👍👍

WOW REALLY ? How did you people not think, there would be a problem with Mr DT appointing someone to a position ? Haven't they all ? Wake Up America....

Lol, If u were Trump, That makes she fit for the job.

The realDonaldTrump AntiObama policy continues...... But the history books will always show that this nation twice elected an American born AfricanAmerican named BarakObama before DonaldTrump.

This woman lies more than Donnie Exotic!!

Part 3....and if your still alive after you've buried your parents and grandparents you can take your rightful place as blond side ho 4872

Part 2. If in 14 days you get sick or your family you can bet you will get fast testing and treatment of unproved medications by Dr Trump

Let's test her convictions based on her irresponsible, unethical, uneducated comments on COVID19. Go grab mom & dad & grandparents and make it a family night in the local ER observing real heros for 12 hrs. Next go directly to Trump, up close and personal to report your findings

You mean! Like the liberal dislike of rape accusations?

Well she’s and idiot, so there’s that.

Nice looking.

Bimbo 4 press secretary 😂

She looks like half the women at Fox News...😆

Shocking

trump is a madman .

Someone in the trump cabinet has a terrible past? Who would've guessed.

ONLY PAULA WHITE HIS SPIRITUAL ADVISER WOULD BE BETTER

It’s funny how people are commenting that people make mistakes, but if someone else says something against their agenda then they say they should be fired 😂 Hypocrites much?

Just another imbecile

No way! Who would have thought!

She’s a birther.

Find something else to do

Which is why she's perfect for the job. She's incompetent, disrespectful and loyal to Trump. Why would Trump want anyone else?

Love the media didn’t waste any time on this one

Picking on her already....

Call someone a racist and everyone is supposed to shut up and toe the line. No, her comments were inappropriate, but a reference Obama would not prove his birthplace and the speculation was it was in Africa. Not a Trump supporter but can see the true intention of both sides.

She is human garbage.

So what who hasn't said something they regretted afterwards

Great selection jlawrence

You couldn't expect anything else from a Trump appointee.Obama is a N- word born in Africa and his brother lives in a hut there. And the Democrats were praying for the Covid-19 virus to spread as it has done.

But once upon a time after her comments, she was a CNN contributor.

What Republicans are not under fire? Dems and press are ate up with hate. They will go after Rep's unborn children if they get a chance.

Tell me ONE well-known public figure who doesn’t have a controversial past comment. A person who has never said made controversial statement is either a coward or liar.

you know you are worthy of the position when the entire MSM combs through every moment of your life and demands you resign before you start. welcome aboard kayleighmcenany, you will be great!

Who did you expect this WH to pick? Of course they picked her.

This will be another shit show from hell.

How is it surprising that any of Trump's friends are blatant Racist Asshats? This is not news.

Oops!

Dems were going to attack her no matter what.

Gasp. A woman who can think for herself and who dares to challenge the liberal intelligencia.

But she's not a libocrite.
