White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany once weighed in on an American leader golfing while Americans are mourning: Its inappropriate.
But she wasnt talking about President Donald Trump golfing as the nation edges closer to a 100,000 death tally from COVID-19.
She was complaining in 2017 about former President Barack Obama golfing after the murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2002. Obama was a state senator in Illinois when Pearl was kidnapped and later beheaded by terrorists in Pakistan.
I think when were in a state of mourning, you should take time off from the golf course, McEnany said on CNN, where she was a commentator at the time and already a staunch Trump defender. She claimed Obama expressed how upset he was at Pearls killing, then rushed off to a golf game.

And, might I add, hell-of-a-job with the "vetting" of your new "press secretary!"
