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.

For the record, the word “attorney” doesn’t even appear in this article.
Hannity was tougher on her than he is on a democrat guest. It was designed to get her out of there faster.
Yes, she can put J.D. after her name. But she isn't a lawyer.
I once worked for a company whose chief legal counsel had a different business card for each state where she was licensed. And she never handed ANY business card if she was traveling to an office in a state where she was not licensed.
I don’t think that was the only reason.
Didn't you watch the movie "Charlie Wilson's War"?
"You can teach them how to type. You can't teach them how to grow *****"
Like that guy in Michigan?
That attorney thing is kind of a big deal.
Do you think?
This is turning into a circus.
After getting shot in the head, standing up and yelling “fight, fight”, after mounting the greatest political comeback of all time, after winning the popular vote as a Republican for the first time this century, after securing a Republican House, Senate and Supreme Court, after gaining the support of the tech bros, after vanquishing the dinosaur media....he was poised to be the most powerful and successful leader in history.
He could potentially have named himself emperor, fixed the country and ruled for a decade.
I guess fighting wars for other countries and covering up for Mossad agents was more important.
“”That’s stupid. If this is all because of the attorney thing I’m really disappointed in Trump here.””

Disappointed in Trump for what reason? Trump just went ON RECORD on Newsmax saying that he just wanted her to be happy. He felt bad that she was getting a raw deal from the usual suspects in the media. He did not ask her to resign or anything. So how the hell is this “Trump’s fault” in your world?
“ reading news and answering hostile questions are two very different things ...”
100% true
Living in California with four young children while working at the White House does not seem like a good plan. If she really did come out with a long statement on her excuses for why she did so poorly at her first appearance, that is not a good prognosis. Maybe when her children are finished college, she could do a great job.
She seemed very nervous on her first briefing. She might have gotten over the nervousness after a few briefings.
The worst part was the misogyny campaign against her, mostly from the Left, but some from the Right piled on.
“”I guess fighting wars for other countries and covering up for Mossad agents was more important.””

Another asinine comment from an apparently asinine commenter. Ho hum....
That attorney/lawyer distinction does not make sense to me. I always refer to myself as a lawyer and never as an attorney. I am a real lawyer, and am admitted to two bars.
El-Sayed’s Position: He and his campaign point to the American Medical Association (AMA) definition, which classifies anyone with an M.D. or equivalent medical degree as a physician, and he has often used the title in his public biographies and campaign messaging.
Clearly, the legal profession has different definitions for it.
“ More importantly, does this mean she will re-post her bikini pics ???”
Tge other reason she’s out.
I always thought Tammy Bruce would have been a great Press Secretary
I don’t think that was the only reason.
