White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany tested positive for COVID-19, she said Monday, making her the latest person in President Trump's orbit to contract the virus.

“After testing negative consistently, including every day since Thursday, I tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday morning while experiencing no symptoms. No reporters, producers or members of the press are listed as close contacts by the White House Medical Unit,” she said in a statement.

“As an essential worker, I have worked diligently to provide needed information to the American people at this time,” she continued. “With my recent positive test, I will begin the quarantine process and will continue working on behalf of the American people remotely.”

In 2013 she said this about President Obama, "He is still in that hut in Kenya."

[Miguelito Loveless]

3. Liars

Now "essential workers".

[AZ8theist]

56. Yeah, right? Since when is pathological lying an "essential" occupation?

[babylonsister]

4. Just about every time I have seen her lately, she's

been maskless. Great job.

[Javaman]

5. I don't think anyone could have predicted this!

the poor reporters.

[Botany]

8. Pence & Barr were @ the Judge Coney Island Super Spreader Swaray too.

Any other GOP senators @ that shindig?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Perhaps the "soire'e"

Out of an abundance of caution, DU doesn't allow accented characters in Reply titles.


soirée

[Botany]

21. LOL that is how I spelled soiree

How stupid people spell soiree.
You are not invited to the soiree because you are a moron for spelling it swaray.

from urban dictionary

[Escurumbele]

6. Ms McEnany, YOU ARE NOT AN ESSENTIAL WORKER, as a matter of fact you are just like

the other liars who occupied that same spot, any person with no principles can do what you do, you are not essential, and yes you have worked diligently to lie and misinform, so please, take your quarantine and meditate about your role in this administration, how much hate you have allowed to come from your mouth by repeating the lies of the man you work for.

Meditate hard about what you have become, a tool for a corrupt administration, and a sad case. Think about the work you put throughout your life to become a lawyer to now be reduced to a simple lying tool, please understand the shame of it all and hopefully you will come out of this a better person. I wish you well, physically and spiritually. Life and the universe understand very well you need spiritual cleansing.

[iluvtennis]

15. +1000 on her not being an essential worker! What a POS to even claim that. nt

[Baclava]

7. Put a big plastic tent over the WH and fumigate it with bleach, for a month

[iluvtennis]

18. + agree. nt

[Yeehah]

9. Find a blonde mannequin and a tape recorder to recite the imbecilic talking points

and nobody will notice she's gone.

[durablend]

13. This.

[Midnight Writer]

63. I know where they can find a mannequin that looks just like her-the ad says "gently used".

[still_one]

10. I am beginning to think that we are dealing with something very contagious

[machoneman]

11. Couldn't happen to a more deserving winger bitch! LOL

[lagomorph777]

12. Yaayyy, MAGAninny! Now you can brag about your personal experience...

...with being a fucking idiot.

[Karma13612]

14. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Ha ha. Ha.

I don’t normally celebrate another’s ill fate, but she is just plain bad.
Lies have consequences.
Bad choices have consequences.

Will be interesting to see what Karma thinks about all this.

[sarge43]

16. It is what it is, Puddin' n/t

[geomon666]

20. Uh oh

[skypilot]

22. You are so NOT an essential worker!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

39. If you can be replaced by a memo with no loss of effectiveness...

[ananda]

23. And she's been recklessly spreading it, going maskless.

Sheesh!!!

[hamsterjill]

47. She has a daughter who is less than a year old.

Between ACB and KMcN, they sure are putting a lot of children at risk.

ACB had her children at the super spreader event last Saturday.

Kellyanne Conway’s daughter tweeted that she (the daughter) is positive.

I want the children to be healthy. This is ridiculous neglect on the part of the parents.

[Miigwech]

53. Thinking the same.

[samsingh]

24. very few people are more deserving

[Chakaconcarne]

25. How convenient this is for her.....she gets to avoid questions about the fiasco over the weekend.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

26. This makes me worry.

If she can take this long to finally test positive, is there a chance Biden and his entourage still might get a positive result?

[skypilot]

30. Anthing is possible but...

...Biden and his entourage don't go around without masks all the time, so there's that.

[LisaL]

36. You don't need to go around without masks all the time to get infected.

Biden didn't have a mask on during a debate.

[skypilot]

40. I said anything is possible.

For the most part Biden is doing what most responsible folks are doing and wearing his mask.

[wnylib]

69. Less likely for Biden to be positive

Compared to Trump's inner circl.e who have multiple close up exposures with each other, always without protection. It's possible that Biden was exposed at the debate, but they were 12 feet apart in a large room.

Regarding Biden, I worry more about exposure through other people, e.g. Dem Senators on committees with Republicans. Kamala Harris, for example, is on the Senate Judiciary Committee where two R members are positive after the WH superspreader event. I am hoping she is staying away.

[LisaL]

37. Yes.

Those exposed are recommended to wait 5-7 days to even take the covid test, because covid might not show up on the test before. It hasn't yet been seven days since the debate.
And the incubation period for covid is up to 14 days.

[FarPoint]

27. Then this tells me....

Maybe Biden is not yet " clear" with covid-19 negative results...If he was infected by the Trumpsters on Tuesdays Debate set...then, I want negatives up thru Friday...

[hamsterjill]

29. Where's Rudy?

I’ve not seen nor heard anything from or about him since Trump was found to be positive. Have I missed something?

[nitpicker]

33. He just told Politico there was no reason to delay a second debate

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/05/giuliani-trump-biden-debate-426418

[BumRushDaShow]

45. Oh no! You were the 3rd person to say his name

and nitpicker captured the moment!!

Now he is out and about.

[hamsterjill]

48. LOL

If I were Rudy and Bill Barr, I’d be worried! LOL

[BumRushDaShow]

54. Well at least Barr finally reluctantly claimed that he was going to "self quarantine"

The Ghoul on the other hand, well, looks like he plans to run amuck.

(his girlfriend better look out but it may be too late!)

[world wide wally]

31. Does anyone still wonder why we lead the world in cases and in deaths?

[llashram]

32. the karma is beginning

to show its strength in this WH. Good things come to those who wait.

[ResistantAmerican17]

34. So compulsively parroting lies for the shitgibbon does not convey antibodies.

Womp womp!

[rickford66]

35. Thoughts and hey, it's garbage day.

[BlueStater]

38. She'll be fine, probably.

She‘s only 32, so her survival chances are pretty good.

Of course, had she just worn a piece of cloth over her fucking face and kept her distance a bit, she could have avoided that small chance of death entirely. Hope it was worth it.

[Larissa]

41. The virus decides

Do the folks in the White House not realize that testing doesn't prevent infection?

In May of this year, Dr. Fauci made an observation about Covid-19. The ongoing firestorm of contagion in the White House brought it to mind:

"The novel coronavirus has a *phenomenal* ability to spread like wildfire. One thing this virus has that's really different from so many other viruses . . . its ability and efficiency in spreading from person to person. This is a virus that spreads as easily as any virus that I've ever known apart from, maybe, measles."

[BumRushDaShow]

46. That is the latest GOP talking point when pushed

They belive that they can "test themselves out of the virus".

I.e., if they test "negative", then they are free and clear to continue to offer themselves up as viral hosts by not doing a damn thing to mitigate it.

[SKKY]

42. Don't say the quiet stuff out loud folks. Schadenfreude is never a good look.

I know. I get it. But let's take the high road here.

[lastlib]

43. more accurate headline: "Coronavirus tests positive for MAGA-ninny"

That poor virus--it's catching all kinds of republikans. It just MIGHT be dead by November.

[Major Nikon]

44. It turns out their strategy of staying positive is working incredibly well

[gab13by13]

49. The White House is the hive

and Trump is the Queen Virus. Where's Ridley?

[bronxiteforever]

50. Per Forrest Gump

[onetexan]

51. So that makes how many infected in that Orbit of Untruth speakers now - 13?

[hermetic]

52. Say, Kayleigh

How's about you work remotely........from Siberia?

[BlueStater]

55. Wow, I just found out she had breast cancer.

And she STILL chose not to take this seriously? What the fuck is wrong with these people?

[sandensea]

57. Considering she has the same ACTUAL job that Hope Hicks does, it's no surprise

i.e. that of giving presidential lip service.

[Make7]

58. "We will not see diseases like the Coronavirus come here."

"This President will always put America first. He will always protect American citizens. We will not see diseases like the Coronavirus come here."

[SunSeeker]

59. Is Bill Barr next? nt

[wnylib]

70. Barr and McConnell. Once they both

have it, I will feel a sense of contentment, rightly or wrongly.

[SunSeeker]

71. And I will forever believe there is a God. nt

[NRaleighLiberal]

60. ...and negative for brain activity

[bucolic_frolic]

61. May humility emerge where there is none /nt

[mahina]

62. Thank you.

[Hekate]

64. No, really? I'm shocked, shocked than in the middle of the Black Plague a rat's flea bit you

[OverBurn]

66. Is "Lying Barbie" now "Covid Barbie"?

[aggiesal]

67. "As an essential worker, ...", I have only 1 thing to say about that ...

[moriah]

68. While neither I nor SNL are God, given that KAC and now KM have this...

.... this SNL clip might be appropriate.

Wishing both ladies nothing worse than the worst flu of their lives, and that they learn some empathy and compassion.

[roamer65]

72. It is what it is.

Who cares? I don’t.
