WH Press Sec. McEnany says that “the science should not stand in the way” of reopening schools, and asserts that “the science is on our side here.”

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said during a Thursday press briefing that"science should not stand in the way of" schools fully reopening for the upcoming academic year, later blasting coverage of her comments as a"case study in media bias."

"And I was just in the Oval talking to him about that," she said."When he says open, he means open in full, kids being able to attend each and every day in their school. The science should not stand in the way of this."

So global warming is over if we ignore the science? Phew!!!

She didn't pass science in high school....so she has no clue

CNN creating your own news. Listen to the tape before you quote source. Not what press sec said. But, I was teacher who knows, kids spread germs. DOE had months to come up w/better plan than to just reopen. Most schools are archaic.

CNN has already been busted for trying to mislead with a similar headline.

Idiot

POTUS this is something that only you may understand. Can you decrypt this dumb ass shit for us?

Hahaha. I cant even wrap my head around her comment.

McEnany is the only PERSON on earth who can eat her cake and have it at the same time. Sad!

Dumb and dumber!

WHAT SCIENCE HAVE YOU SUPPORTED?!TO STOP IT?! CORONA VIRUS IS COMING TO EVERYONE!

But apparently the blonde stands in the way of intelligence

She made herself look as ridiculous as her boss.

... these zealots are out of control. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

She misspoke. Unlike who fakes a guy with covid and interviewed him how many times?

Americans....😂🤣

Is this double speak supposed to achieve anything?

😂😂😂😂😂

She doesn’t believe in science or doctors or data well she needs to come over here to Corpus Christi, TEXAS where we had a baby who died from the virus and we have 85 babies under one year diagnosed with the virus. Oh, she doesn’t believe in SCIENCE.

teachers and children = canaries in the coal mine

“K-Lies McEnemy” is another of Trump’s Hos. She gets paid to lie. When she “finds something new” to do, would you hire this traitor?

Totally Insane 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍

My humble opinion. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Nope

What would she say if her daughter was school age, would she still be singing this song I doubt it!

How delusional can you get. November can’t come soon enough. Vote!!!

Science should not stand in the way of the Trump administration‘s desire to kill as many Americans as possible

Not a well thought out speech I might add.

I feel like whitehouse is giving the PEOPLE the middle finger for every point of view on Covid

She meant to say ‘science is on our sideline here’

McEnany must be another stable genius. My god, the WH is full of nuts.

Send your kids to school then we,ll send ours.

It would have been much more convincing if she had left off the first statement! Who writes this stuff for her? This virus is out of control in some areas of the US! One should not generalize for the whole nation. Use some common sense!

So dumb

She been around crazy trump to long he has her believing that science don’t work

Does she have kids shes’s willing to use as test subjects

(Needs CHEAT sheets to answer questions)

😂

killer

Marie Laveau couldn't have stated it better.

Listening to the nonsense that this administration spews on a daily bases stops when they decide that they are willing to put children’s, as wells as adults lives at risk for their misguided political gain.

That’s sounds foolish an that don’t have anything to do with politics

Wrong and wrong.

Pediatricians agree that kids should go back to school.

And the government shouldnt be telling parents what to do with their children. Especially during a pandemic. TrumpFailedAmerica and we ain't buying beans or any BS...all we're going to do is hit the ballots in November.

Could you cite the research that supports your conclusion?

This is majorly misquoted and even jaketapper called the media out on it

“The” science Gracie

Science and Politics

I’d love to hear a LOGICAL explanation for this from McENEMY of the People or Trump. Emphasis on the word logical. PressSec realDonaldTrump TrumpKillsChildren TrumpKillsUs TrumpKillsAmericans

This could only come from the Trump administration. Is this really the US

If only her brain would stand in the way of her opening her mouth.

Yes schools must reopen.

PressSec How can you look in the mirror? Resign. You are ridiculous.

Kayleigh is a super-spreader of Trump's dementia and lies.

I hate to say it but the US is a global laughing stock with these fools at the forefront. Science, safety and having a plan is just common sense except for in America. Sad

I wonder if anyone in the trump WH can even spell “science,” without asking for help.

... fake news...!

Good news kids! Science class is cancelled............ FOREVER! 🤙

Huh?

Fake headline. Fyi

Case Study in Media Bias: She said: “The science is very clear on this...the science is on our side here. We encourage our localities & states to just simply follow the science. Open our schools.”But leave it to the media to deceptively suggest she was making the opposite point!

What a joke. 'Science is on our side.' NO IT ISN'T. Something has to be done to stop this virus. Telling people to go about their business is not going to stop the virus. It's going to mutate and come back until more people die. Doing nothing is not common sense and stupid.

Another “spliced and chopped” quote to grab attention! Start watching the press briefings to get the real story, you won’t get it from . You will get their version.

Another quote out of context by the lame stream media. FakeNews

It is. You’re a clown network.

More bullshit from a media bullshitter not courageous enough to address this quote in context. Another reason to completely ignore these disingenuous buffoons

Science how about sense let’s test the children for Covid 19 before we put them back into the classrooms

The science indicates kids are more likely to die from a lightning strike than coronavirus

Science takes sides now? Like their god is better than others?

Ww2 and spwinish flu ,polio didn't stand in the way of school opening.

she is right. Look what Jim Acosta tweeted. You people have no shame

How can she say such stupidities ?!

What an idiot! This whole administration is a joke!

Science is trying to save our children's lives. Trump might as well hang it up and leave the WH. He's going to make it worst for him self the longer he resist the fact that he's a failure. The people have had a enough of his lies and racist ideology.

shut up

She's correct.

when McEnany says 'science'... she means voodoo.

PressSec you are disgrace and disappointment to all women who will follow your lead

This headline is misleading. FakeNews

The Trump science is on your side. Yeah right. We all know about that.

Well apparently she doesn't know how to read statistics either

Be honest. If you voted for Trump in 2016, did you ever foresee this kind of nonsense?

debunked

This airhead woman said “the science should not stand in the way” of reopening schools, and asserts that “the science is on our side here.”..what is this!!! Ass trump is a dictator, this is all about the money and not about the safety and the health of many Americans

Why does he always get boney blonde dummies to be White House press secretaries

You know it never goes well when you quote acosta

Is this gal any relation to Trump?

Science should not stand in the way of you jumping out of an aeroplane without a parachute.

What a foolish statement. schoolsreopening VoteGOPout in 2020 for sacrificing AmericanLives. Resist Resistance TheResistance SignOfResistance indivisible indivisibleteam 🌊

The mortality rate among COVID patients is 4 out of 100. While children are rarely susceptible what about our staff? Teachers? Parents? It’s unbelievably cruel to make educators choose between their job and their life.

So I can just go to the bottom of the ocean right and not die ? Science has nothing to do with it right ?

In Europe we can go by the graveyards and see the graves by the people dead by the plague in 1500-1600’s. It is real for us. For the Americans COVID does not exist until you hit the hospital and see the graves?

She's just a reader. Reads what's written in her binder.

Does she know what science is? I’m going to go with a no on that.

They aren’t even trying to hide the fact that they want to kill teachers and kids. Odd election strategy. Troops, grandma, grandpa, kids, teachers, all expendable to this azhole. NotMyChild

Cést lunatique!

Science discovers that it feels better when attractive people lie to you

Trump should stop standing in the way of America's health

guilty girl

That’s a contradictory statement. Then again, Trumps is an AdministrationOfContradictions

The chemicals inside the hair bleach or the glue of her fake lashes is affecting her neurons. Science should “stand in the way” of finding a cure for everyone who is affected by the excesive use of these dangerous products.

Trump would be better served by Miss Cleo. She would be able to anticipate the questions in advance and then have the people that know what they are talking about answer them for her.

Science? So safety of children should not get in the way of getting kids back to school?

stupid

Common sense should stand in the way of her reopening her mouth and willful ignorance and stupidity are on her side

It is. That is an undeniable fact. The data is no longer theory, it is recorded and it backs that up. And many scientific studies show that not only are they at less risk than common flu but children are very low emitters of COVID-19 relative to adults

This government is hilarious, indeed。

BS ... science matters ...

A peaceful protester in Portland was shot in the head by one of Donald Trump’s secret police. Now Trump and Chad Wolf are weaponizing the DHS as their own occupying army to provoke violence on the streets of my hometown because they think it plays well with right-wing media.

Fake manipulated science

I'd give ten to one odds she can't even spell science.

Same scientists that brought to you the advice of the WHO so far......thanks but ill get a second opinion.

Everyone is saying tacking the virus is like a war, so does that mean when Trump is out of office in November he is going to go on trail for war crimes.

She can't have it both ways and stop blaming media for it.

If the Press Secretary was like Pinocchio how long would her nose be?

Proof Media LiES!

That’s NOT what she said! Omg. FakeNews

Common sense isn’t though is it...

Man Alive! If Science is standing in the way, the something is wrong and needs to be addressed.

So many lies by this Tokyo Rose already...

what science? The science of beein dumb?

Who would you believe...

How

Idiot

There’s significant learning loss if students aren’t in person and the risks to the average child are very very small. There’s a compelling case to be made for sending students back

Everything you say is entirely subjective so it carries no weight

This is a manipulative half quote...lying MSM are getting desperate

👆🤦‍♂️

I actually watched the news conference and that is not what she said.

No she said the science is there which it is

But but science! Scientists are wrong SOMETIMES. Like when they all KNEW the earth was the center of the universe!? Not all scientists think like faucci you know. Many say kids are safe, and the virus can’t be stopped by masks anyway. What about those scientists? Kelly owns!

It's 'alternative' science. omg

I heard it. That's not what she said.

When she says “science is on our side” is she talking as a Press Secretary or A Mother?

Nuclear missile crisis. Pandemic. Nuff said.

Does she understand what science is? I’m going on record saying the only way she got this job was boinking 45. 😟

Science not seance!

Excuse me, what?

It is science I trust

Laurie_Garrett Famous last words

What are they smoking in WhiteHouse these days?

What kills more kids annually? Seasonal flu or Covid? Do we shut the schools down annually for the flu?

Reopen schools!!!!!!

Are you talking about Goya Science ?.

For school openings, IT IS. Morons.

Let’s do an scientific experiment let’s put this Administration in classrooms for a month from little children all the way up to high school students no teachers and see what happens Test only if you start to get symptoms of COVID19 have to wait 8 to 11 days to see if you got it

Laurie_Garrett Dead from the neck up.

Let me get this straight. 'The science is on THEIR side,' but it 'shouldn't stand in the way if opening schools.' Fit. Somebody make it make sense. I never learned to logic trumpaneze.

Does she have children? I hope not. Not because I fear they may have face the danger of school as much as just the fact that she would be their parent.

How the fuck can the science be on their side if they're saying it shouldn't stand in their way? That's the thing about lying; it gets hard to keep the story straight

shomaristone Barbie, hush, imo.

That is not what she said, get the facts straigjt!!

Only a drunk would say what she said

Is he just being friendly or what?

What a nut.

Ughhh🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I bet she couldn’t spell s-c-i-e-n-c-e it she didn’t have that damn binder.

How about we hear from Fauci instead of a press secretary?

wtf?

She was obviously dropped as a baby, probably numerous times given the crap that flies out of the hole in her face

People are going to risk their Children well being, wihout a clear plan to protect them.

shomaristone

BackToSchool and BackToWork. If you're waiting for guarantees, who might I ask are you waiting on?

Harvard Law School must be cringing.

There is no “side” to science. It’s what it is. Listen to it and stop making politics out of this, damn idiots.

.?

She is giving blondes a bad name

Polling shows 72% of parents won't send their kids back until schools are proven safe. Trump is incapable of understanding that parents value their kids lives far more than increasing their 401Ks. If Trump goes on forcing the issue, he'll lose even the base he has.

Stupid!!!

She is as smart as her boss 🤦‍♂️

The friggin idiot makes no sense, how about taking the politics out of the science! BlondBrainlessTwit

😅😅😅

Obviously did not study in scientific field this one.

Bet she wishes she hadn’t said that! The Trump administration has a bad case of running their mouths.

Only science she knows is which shade of blonde to color her hair

Hope media is getting lot of comedy from this lady for entertaining people. It’s prudent not to take her nonsense statements at least in this pandemic. Seems she have more comedy than covid uncle.

PressSec

That sentence makes zero sense.

Its really heartbreaking to see a great nation like America being governed by a bunch of people whose ideas defy sound knowledge and wisdom from science. The nation's need for good leadership has never been so dire.

shomaristone Ex-Obama Education Sec. Torches Trump's Push to Open Schools: 'No BodyCount High Enough' for Him to PayAttention to Science

shomaristone It's cherry picking. Kids may not become as ill, (lots do though) but they can bring it home to relatives, or to babysitters, or to childcare facilities. What do we do then? They just aren't thinking this through.

She must be using “Christian Science”!

Laurie_Garrett “Our”...One nation, under G_d with liberty and justice for all?

wenyunchao This is totally incredible that some are still living in the stone age

So what school of medicine did this airhead attend?

McEnany has been self-bias talking to herself than to blame it on media and Twitter. Most suicidal rate happened at school than at home.

You didn’t watch it, did you?

Contradictive .. but how many sick children you had in hospital compared to adults ..,Or were in the eu ? Some factual science if you have none else .. Massive testing of children how infectious they are ? Else why not ?

This administration is 100% ready to kill you and your family to win.

Mcenany is a joke. We never believe what she says, it's like Collins saying she's concerned, or worried.

Laurie_Garrett Black is white, up is down. Looney Tunes.

The derelict press secretary of the trump administration.

Laurie_Garrett 'the science should not stand in the way'

5 Pediatricians. On MSNBC. All agree.

Jesus. Talk about taking her statements out of context. Then you wonder why you are called Fake News. Shameful. Shameless. Nauseating.

🤔

Maybe it's just me, but I find that a person who resembles a child, speaking on behalf of the President...who has a troublesome history of being attracted to underage girls, troubling.

🤯

Kayleigh McCunty

Democrats hate truth

What science we have science.. Science is a fiction

Rip! Spreading the virus knowingly should be a felon

There is no science. Wear a mask , don’t wear a mask. 25 people per restaurant.. 26 will spread corona

WHAT A POS.

I’d be outraged if I didn’t know that she was likely to say something even more ignorant tomorrow.

Science is on your side. Good God, shame on you.

That is not what she said

Dangerous! Spreading the virus knowingly should be a felon

The dumb keep getting dumber.

Delusional! That is why more than 30 large school district leadership teams are ignoring yawl's manipulation.

What part of social distancing is this shit for brains not understanding? Fuck her, Trump, and his entire admin for trying to force schools to reopen at 100% despite the certainty that students and staff will die from such a decision!

This week a 29 yo died from Covid here in S Fl. My friend described her trauma level 1 health system as a “war zone.” Perhaps PressSec would like to remove her silly Barbie doll dresses, put on a pair of scrubs, and lend the healthcare providers a hand? Do something useful?
