President Donald Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, is reportedly out of a job. Fox News’s Aishah Hasnie reported, “A senior White House official tells @pdoocy Katie ZACHARIA is “transitioning out” of the press secretary position.”
This is a breaking story and will be updated.

Probably… because taking the bar exam and passing it sure aren’t a criteria for being a press secretary.
what???
Yeh- i would take him in a heartbeat...he would b!tchslap the liberal media and have their heads spinning...
Of course the media could be wrong, but she said she was an attorney. WAS she fired or did she step down?
Maybe Susan Wiley picked her.
ok but those bikini shots are not gonna be the same.
Good. She wasn’t ready for prime time. Whatever process is in place is way too lax.
reading news and answering hostile questions are two very different things ...
That's not what Trump has in mind for this role, and I think we should trust his judgment. There are plenty of talented women with the right look who can do the job. Zacharia was ideal, but the Bar exam thing would have been a distraction.
I don’t disagree. I’m not defending her performance. I’m pointing out the double standard.
Wow, that was quick. I’ve bought Submarine Sandwiches that lasted longer. If too many insiders were not comfortable with her, better now, than to drag it out. I hope she finds something else that allows her to shine.
What happened. Trump said Hannity was rough on her.
I searched and (ok, fine) asked AI - I could find plenty of places OTHERS called her an attorney - including Trump at one point - but could find zero evidence she ever called herself anything other than LAWYER - she DOES hold a law degree.
Hmmmm I wonder who we are aware of in that position? Probably never got licensed because he might have to save an infidel.
More importantly, does this mean she will re-post her bikini pics ???
Maybe he should hire strictly on merit?
This is a picture of another presidency on the ropes. Sure hate to see it this way.
What media? Can you give me a link?
LOL!
Unfortunately true...
just bookmark the thread at FR....
