There’s really not a lot of commentary to add to this one. At the closing of her White House press briefing on Friday, the increasingly-great Kayleigh McEnany spent the final two minutes lecturing the worthless, 100% incurious White House press corps like my Cost Accounting professor used to lecture his hungover students on Monday mornings.
It was truly glorious.
Here is a clip of those final two minutes, followed by a transcript lovingly prepared by yours truly:
Transcript:
[There are a] series of good questions that any good journalist would want an answer about why people were unmasked. All sorts of questions. And I just wanted to follow up with you guys on that – did anyone take it upon themselves to pose any questions about Michael Flynn and unmasking to President Obama’s spokesperson? [waits] Oh, not a single journalist has posed that question. Ok.
So, I would like to lay out a series of questions, and perhaps if I write them out in a slide format – maybe we’re all visual learners and you guys will follow up with journalistic curiosity.
Number One: Why did the Obama Administration use opposition research, funded by a political organization and filled with foreign dirt, to surveil members of the Trump Campaign?
Number Two: Why was Lt. General Michael Flynn unmasked, not by the intel community entirely, but by Obama’s Chief of Staff, by the former vice president, Joe Biden, by Susan Rice, by the Treasury Secretary..I mean, this is extraordinary, and if it were political appointees in the Trump Administration, I can guarantee you I would have questions in my in-box right now. But apparently, Obama’s spokesperson does not.
Why was Flynn’s identity leaked in a criminal act – it is a criminal act to leak the identity of Michael Flynn to the press, but it happened. Where are the questions to Obama’s spokesperson? Because my team would be running around this building should this have happened under the Trump Administration.
Why did the DOJ – Sally Yates – learn about this unmasking from President Obama? So much for going “by the book,” as Susan Rice said, three times. Thou doest protest too much, Susan Rice.
And then finally, question number five, why did James Clapper, John Brennan, Samantha Power and Susan Rice privately admit under oath that they had no evidence of collusion while saying the opposite publicly?
It’s a long weekend, you guys have three days to follow up on those questions, and I certainly hope the next time I ask, some hands go up, because Obama’s spokesperson should be asked those questions. Because President Trump’s spokespeople certainly would be.
[End]
Wow. That was a pounding.
POLITICAL POSTERS (21 MAY) | Whistleblower Newswire
It is a sad fact of our society that, over the last half-century, the most lacking-in-curiosity-and-personal-integrity in our population have chosen to major in journalism. Even worse, that same individuals with no personal ethics or sense of curiosity have now become the professors at the nation’s journalism schools, and spend their days pounding any innate curiosity or ethical sense their young charges might have obtained from their parents out of them.
The result is today’s White House press corps. While it is easy to understand Ms. McEnany’s well-grounded frustrations, no one should expect this dynamic to change.
Real journalism is dead – with rare and notable exceptions – in our country, and has been for several decades now.
That is all.
“Wow. That was a pounding.”
Bravo.
Of course, the press will go on behaving as if she never said any of that, but she is surely opening some non-Trump voter’s eyes.
Zinnnnnng!
I thought it was teaching.
Pow.
Right in the kisser...
Mostly a wast of time, press is so anti-US Constitution
it only promotes Democrats and their narratives.
As President Trump told the Reporter, ‘your not listening’.
One day, many of these “journalists” will be alone in their assisted living homes, looking back at the Obama and Trump days and wonder why they squandered away all of their finest career opportunities. Look at old Bernstein. He dines on Watergate every chance he gets. Today’s press pool will dine only on cream corn.
The worthless press getting Kayleigh’d.
“So, I would like to lay out a series of questions, and perhaps if I write them out in a slide format – maybe we’re all visual learners and you guys will follow up with journalistic curiosity.”
I would love to see the faces of the journalists when she dropped that on them.
That was great fun to watch after suffering through a half hour of Dr. Birx referencing slides which the White House camera didn’t bother to show us.
She is great! Worth watching her every day!
Of course the media isn’t going to change anything it does. It will go right on lying and cheating.
“ I would love to see the faces of the journalists when she dropped that on them.“
I hated they were wearing masks. I wanted to watch their jaws drop.
What commercial broadcaster were you watching? Next time watch the official White House live stream on you tube. No one else shows the slides. I think the rest of them are worse than my junior high school AV club.
It’s fun to watch them get abused, but it doesn’t do anything to change the game. The press is not going to carry any narrative that helps President Trump or Republicans in general. They have to take their message as directly to the American people as they can, and any fallout for political enemies will have to be from prosecutions and not scandals.
At least she fights. I hope she keeps making them look stupid.
CNN had to fire her since she did to them in their 5 on 1 roundtables what she is doing to the media.
Watch these things on RSBN, they’re much better at showing slides, reporters, and just generally panning the camera around.
The DNC already looked into it and declared nothing there. That is good enough for ABDNC.
I hope she asks those d***heads those same questions next week and demand some answers. And keep asking until she gets an answer.
And she is a babe too!
