There is no defense for Trump's attack on Kayleigh ‘Milktoast' McEnany
Hot Air ^ | May 31, 2023 | Karen Townsend

Posted on 05/31/2023 11:29:34 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

Kayleigh McEnany came under attack by her former boss on Truth Social last night. His very thin skin was pierced by the former White House press secretary, now a Fox News host and contributor. Kayleigh quoted a poll number Trump disagreed with and he went full force against her on his social media platform.

(snip)

Kayleigh was hired by Trump to replace Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I really liked Sarah in the job, too. Both women had the ability to stand firm against the daily attacks by the press corps and defend Trump. They didn’t back down when the dialogue heated up, which it frequently did. Kayleigh was poised and very matter-of-fact in her answers, as a Harvard law school graduate, her training showed. She was a regular on CNN, the epicenter of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and would defend Trump as she sat for panel discussions. The panel was always Democrat-heavy because it was CNN, after all. She was a champ.

So, Kayleigh landed at Fox after her time at the White House came to an end. There is no doubt in my mind that Trump would have kept her as his press secretary if he served a second term. He praised her and her tenacity in defending her. Now that she sometimes speaks favorably of Ron DeSantis – she is a Florida resident and he is her governor – she is on Trump’s disloyal list. Loyalty goes only one way for Trump.

(snip)

No one worked harder for Trump than Kayleigh. Trump’s reaction to her appearance on the Watters show is indefensible. He is an old and bitter man, obsessed with avenging his election loss in 2020. He acts as though he will remain 30 or more points ahead in the polls. That isn’t realistic.

No problem old friend, I am only after the truth at all times as well.

Have a good rest of your evening.

Yes, she has made it clear that she is biased against Trump. And yet people act like Trump can’t call it out. His entire career is built on calling out media bias!

One of the cult jerks is Peter Navarro. On Bannon’s program, he spent a half hour attacking DeSantis. He referred to Casey DeSantis as DeSantis’s “shrewish wife.”

Now, Trump is calling McEnany a milktoast. Both of these women are breast cancer survivors and had to undergo chemo, surgery, radiation, and the rest. These so-called men who are attacking them are disgusting. They don’t have half the courage of these women.

If Trump and his entourage keep using these kinds of personal attacks, they will alienate every female voter. Keep it up, Trump et al. You’re beginning to sound scared and desperate. Pathetic.

She was VERY good, but he can’t afford to have someone with her credibility validating MSM fake numbers. She’s not supposed to work validating fake news.
While the fake numbers show him winning, they cheat so much he needs the numbers to be accurate and show that he’s leading by far more. Low-balling his numbers sets up cheating in 2024. If they pose the race as closer than it really is, its CHEAT2024.

I addressed your reply, of which in part is your “signature”

I get it, pile on trump in hopes of boosting desantis. I don’t think he is a viable alternative and a majority of the grass roots agree so far.

After selling out to fox of all people she should expect some shade thrown her way. She’s an adult.

I would prefer a return to the rough and tumble politics of our fore fathers. I am sick of this fake magnanimous crap. Oh so we can feel so civilized as barrel towards ww3. And it’s coming - if Brandon doesn’t start it soon himself it will get here eventually when our finances collapse the global economy.

He just keeps getting worse and worse.

Oh, and the word is spelled "milquetoast", Mr. President.

Honestly, it’s a bad look to tag somebody with an insulting name that you don’t know how to spell.

Yes, LOL.

Insult your enemies if they wrong you. If you feel wronged by ally, give them a call to discuss. Basic adulting.

Well said.

Of course not. Again, it’s a metaphor.

I once had a guy tell me that he liked to kick cats and I nearly punched him in the face. Of course I held back, and based on the silent hesitation, I suspect he was correctly interpreting the look on my face.

Let’s try a different metaphor;

Like others here (but not suburban moms apparently) I appreciate that Trump hits back and defends himself, which is a breath of fresh air compared to how all previous republicans have been trained to be sissy boys by the media. Trump refuses to be trained. But it starts to get tedious and look silly when he is playing WHACK-A-TROLL every time a head pops up.
