McEnany: Capitol insurrection spoiled plans for a farewell press conference

Former press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Tuesday that the Trump White House scuttled plans for a farewell press conference in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.

McEnany, in one of her first extended public interviews since former President Donald Trump left office, told Fox News that she intended to have a final briefing as a farewell of sorts at the end of her tenure. She said the riot fomented by a throng of Trump supporters made that impossible.

“I wanted to do a press briefing on the way out about all the great achievements of this administration and all the good that I felt that the president had done,” McEnany said. “We didn't get the opportunity to do that because obviously Jan. 6th, it just was something that was not tenable.”

McEnany addressed reporters briefly on Jan. 7 but opted to read off a roughly two-minutelong prepared statement and exited without taking questions.

“I knew I needed to go to the podium,” McEnany said Tuesday. “I knew that's what Christ would want me to do. I knew it's what, as a woman of faith, I needed to do."

It would have been a very short press conference anyway there, honey...

so he wouldn't mess up her press conference.

Oh, and also, so he wouldn't destroy the country.

Oh sure, you got killed, or injured, or had an eye gouged out, but have any of you for even one second thought about Kayleigh McEnany, and how she got done out of a final rip-roaring press briefing where she insulted the reporters, lied through her teeth, and otherwise defiled the Press Briefing Room one last time?

And now she's been cancel cultured with nothing but a sinecure at Fox to sustain her. It is to weep.
