Kayleigh McEnany Ends Briefing By Raging at Reporters For Grilling Her on Confederate Flags
mediaite ^ | July 6, 2020 | Rudy Takala

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany ended Monday’s press briefing by slamming reporters for repeatedly asking about President Donald Trump’s position on the Confederate Flag while failing to ask about violence in New York City.

After responding to an unrelated question about the coronavirus at the end of the briefing, McEnany told reporters:

McEnany was referencing a number of questions reporters had asked about a Monday tweet from the president claiming that NASCAR’s decision to ban the Confederate Flag at its events partially accounted for the sport’s “lowest ratings EVER!”

Dorn, a retired police captain in St. Louis, was killed in June while responding to an alarm at a pawn shop in the city.

Her ending was picture perfect beautiful.

Yeah, she was "raging"; and, POTUS's speech at Mt. Rushmore was "dark and divisive".

These people are political operatives of the Democrat party. PERIOD.

“The press is insane...there is no other word for it.”

Big Media is fueled by hatred for all our country stands for, not insanity.

The Fraud is a really poor reader, but is NOT incompetent.

“I’m perfectly fine with rage.”

Rage = unstable. Whether it be for clicks, or to cast someone else in the Trump team as unstable, I don’t like it.

Well, good for her! I would disagree with POTUS, though, and think that NASCAR’s ratings are more tied to having been humiliated by that Bubba Wallace noose hoax, or whatever. The fact that NASCAR came out immediately, so sure that there was some hate crime going down.... That kind of stuff insults the intelligence of the average patriotic and non-racist sports fan.

I love how some measured comments are “raging”. Reporters are snowflakes.

They’re not “reporters”, They’re marxist democrat propagandists and that’s about all.

I disagree—rage is not linked to stability.

In my opimnion, press briefings are following a poor format.

They should NOT be in the WH
They should accept written questions from the Internet.
Normalize the questions so that slight veriations of the same basic question are accommodated.
Select the top 20 questions.
Read the question to the press, then provide an answer
After all 20 questions are answered, direct the follow on questions to the web page.
End the briefing

Conveniently leaving out the fact the alarm occurred during the Antifa riots.

Ah, the alternative universe where calmly discussing something is "raging" while rioting and looting are "peaceful protests". Journalism today is a pathetic joke.

Quite obviously, severely mentally ill people “write” this pathetic bilge. If they had any appreciation of their many problems, they would end it all.

I see you found TikTok operations in China.

I think they actually let the monkeys wear clothes, though.

Agreed. As soon as I saw the “and the flag” part of the tweet, I knew what the controversy of the day would be. He played right into the hands of his enemies-—again.

Why is the media allowed to behave like that?

Why aren’t those who are clearly mocking our President banned and shown the door in the most humiliating way possible?

The ftag is part of the south’s heritage WHY should it be taken away after 150 years because some snowflakes get triggered by it!! This BS has to stop this cancel culture has to stop!! If you look at things today there is FAR MORE racism against whites than blacks and that is a fact!!
