Kayleigh McEnany Flails In Defense Of Trump Lie That COVID-19 'Affects Virtually Nobody'

The day the number of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. officially surpassed 200,000, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany tried and failed to defend President Donald Trump’s latest lie about the pandemic.

In response to Trump’s blatantly false claims that “nobody young” and “virtually nobody” had been affected by the virus, McEnany first claimed on Tuesday that he was “telling the truth.” She then said reporters were “taking the president out of context.”

“You are taking it out of context because you are making an assertion that he is saying he is not giving critical information when, in fact, he is,” McEnany told CNN’s Jim Acosta.

After Acosta pointed out that Trump was “glossing over” and “diminishing the fact” that young people can still become infected and then infect older people, McEnany said: “It is not a disease that affects young people in the same way as older people, which is the exact point the president was making last night.”

I don't know what's more infuriating, that the admin is claiming this or that the cult will accept it.

I just want this fucking nightmare to end.
