Mark Meadows considers new White House press secretary

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has privately discussed bringing on Pentagon spokesperson Alyssa Farah or Trump campaign spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany as a new White House press secretary, two sources familiar with the talks tell Axios.

Why it matters: Meadows' start on Tuesday as Trump's new chief presents a chance to overhaul a press shop that's kept a low profile since President Trump ended the tradition of daily press secretary briefings.

Stephanie Grisham, who's held the post of White House press secretary and communications director since last July, has never held a formal daily briefing — a regular practice that ended under her predecessor Sarah Sanders.

It's not clear whether Meadows intends to replace Grisham or to bring in a press secretary to supplement her communications director role — and whether he intends to resume regular briefings on topics beyond the coronavirus.

1. Kayleigh McEnany? Of course, why not? Kelly Ann clone and serial obnoxious liar and gaslighter

perfect fit.

2. None of the OANN reporters are available?

or are they just going to keep crashing the press rallies?

6. I could see SNL now, the OANN reporter asks a question from the press area then runs up and answers

the question from the podium.

4. I only hope

She can do as good at not holding press briefings as the current secretary what’s-her-name.

13. There ya go.

I was searching the best response to this latest shake up.

5. Because the federal government is not yet

completely broken, so Meadows wants to take his swings at it?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. Why mount a sustained medical campaign when you can do Public Relations instead?

9. Who cares which liar has the title?

10. It does not matter who is in that role as they will spout lies, half truths, distortions anyway

[Miguelito Loveless]

11. Why? It's not like she does anything now

It's not like you appoint someone who isn't as insane as all the other members of the Trump Death Cult.

12. Here's my favorite for a gnu Whitehous Press Secretary.

The gnu, also known as a wildebeest, has excellent communication skills and is extremely photogenic,
unlike many previous holders of the office under discussion. Photos at link.
