Kayleigh McEnany’s Attack On President Biden Backfires On Her And Trump

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany probably thought she had the perfect way to attack President Joe Biden for his criticism of MAGA Republicans who are a threat to democracy in the United States, but her plan backfired badly and wound up reinforcing what Biden had said.

The president gave a speech addressing the attack on the American republic by those allied with ex-president Donald Trump who deny the results of elections, foment violence against anyone who disagrees with them, and defend even the most vile actions of their GOP colleagues.

Biden spoke from Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, warning:

“Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

The president added:

“MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies.”

That led McEnany to try and spin the current administration as the extremist element in the country, tweeting out:

Biden announces the official position of the White House: “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundation of our republic.”

As HuffPost notes, there’s a lot of evidence to support what Biden said:

Last year, for the first time, the U.S. was listed as a “backsliding democracy” in a report by a European think tank as a result of developments during Trump’s administration. The report said Trump’s lies about the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election were a turning point that undermined trust in the nation’s electoral process and ultimately led to the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol.

Since then, Trump and his allies have continued to undermine the voting process and elevate election-denying candidates, leading Biden and other Democrats to cast the 2022 midterm elections as a referendum on democracy itself.

It didn’t take long before McEnany got her comeuppance, with most respondents noting that what the president said was spot-on.

Kayleigh McEnany Deletes Tweet After Owning Herself And Donald Trump With Posting

If you’re in need of some humor, former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany provided plenty of laughter on Twitter with a post she made (and later deleted) about the murder rate under the Biden administration.

The problem: The chart she referenced to make her point actually measured a rising murder rate while failed, one-term former President Donald Trump was in office.

According to Mediate, here’s what happened:

Former Trump Press Secretary and current Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany deleted a tweet Wednesday night that slammed the sharp increase in the murder rate in 2020.

Her quote tweet of a New York Times article on crime rate trends included a predictably political missive: “The US Murder Rate under Joe Biden…”

However, as many on Twitter were quick to point out, the massive increase in the murder rate shown on the graph happened in 2020, when the president was Donald Trump, and McEnany worked at the White House. Oops.

And here’s McEnany’s tweet:

The report from the Times referenced by McEnany states:

The United States in 2020 experienced the biggest rise in murder since the start of national record-keeping in 1960, according to data gathered by the F.B.I. for its annual report on crime.

The Uniform Crime Report will stand as the official word on an unusually grim year, detailing a rise in murder of around 29 percent.

If Kayleigh had bothered to think for a moment, she would have realized that Biden didn’t take office until January 20, 2021, meaning a crime stat from 2020 would fall on her former boss.

And deleting the tweet only complicates the matter, because it draws attention to McEnany’s flub. Then again, the moment she hit the “Tweet” button, her self-own became a fait accompli. Oh, and she even managed to own Trump, too. That’s one hell of a twofer.

Reactions on social media to Kayleigh’s idiocy were piquant and hilarious:

Only the best people. Right, Kayleigh?

The Trump Adminstration WTF?!

Kayleigh McEnany Claims She ‘Never Lied’ As Press Secretary Because She’s A Christian

Former Trump administration White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said recently that she never once lied while in her position because she’s a Godly person.

Remarkably, a bolt of lightning did not descend from the sky and destroy McEnany. But that’s only because she was speaking indoors.

McEnany was speaking at Turning Point USA’s Young Women’s Leadership Summit, and she told the assembled group that shortly after she took the job as press secretary, she was asked if she would ever lie to the American people:

“And I said without hesitation, no. And I never did. As a woman of faith, as a mother of baby Blake, as a person who meticulously prepared at some of the world’s hardest institutions, I never lied. I sourced my information.”

McEnany also whined that the news media often attacked her and called her a “liar,” which she said was unfair:

“Our motto was this: offense only. Because I knew what we were up against. Republicans always get the bad headlines, always get the false stories, always get the lies — if I can use that word — told by the press. There is one standard for Democrats and another for Republicans. And we must be on offense.”

While she was at it, McEnany also claimed that some news reports about the Trump administration had been fabricated to damage the failed, one-term former president.

Kayleigh McEnany, just like the man she worked for, lied endlessly. She lied when the administration would have been far better served by simply telling the truth.

Also, if McEnany were really a Christian, as she claims, she would never have agreed to join forces with a man as deeply immoral and outright evil as Donald Trump.

So while Kaleigh continues to lie in order to protect her so-called “reputation,” her words are just empty as the promises she made to never mislead the public. And that makes her complicit in a laundry list of crimes committed by the administration she was a member of.

Nice try, Kayleigh, but we call bullshit.
