In the past two weeks, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has made more public appearances on behalf of President Donald Trump's campaign she has for the Trump administration, in yet another violation of the Hatch Act from the Trump White House.

On Friday, McEnany held her first White House press briefing since October 1, where she attempted to justify Trump's refusal to accept defeat in the 2020 election by lying that Trump wasn't extended a peaceful transition of power after his win in 2016.


McEnany went on to take only five questions, including one from Chanel Rion of the far-right One America News Network, before beginning to exit.

CNN White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins attempted to ask McEnany a question, but the White House Press Secretary responded:

"I don't call on activists."

McEnany's attack on Collins' integrity prompted her to issue a stern rebuke as McEnany left the room.

"I'm not an activist and you haven't taken questions since October 1st. And you just took about five, Kayleigh. That's not doing your job. Your taxpayer-funded job."

Watch the tense exchange below.

Collins, however, got the last laugh.

In addition to the rebuke she issued to McEnany in the room, Collins called the press secretary out on Twitter for not doing her job.

Collins' colleague at CNN, Jake Tapper, defended her.

And people applauded her clapback.





And they took her side in admonishing McEnany.




Beginning January 20th, Kayleigh McEnany will no longer be White House press secretary.

Mike Johnson Slammed For Downplaying GOP Rep's Racist Tweet About Haitians: 'He Prayed About It'

Speaker Mike Johnson was criticized after downplaying a now-deleted racist tweet about Haitian migrants by Louisiana's Republican Representative Clay Higgins.

In response to the news that a nonprofit leader representing the Haitian community filed charges against former President Donald Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance, on Tuesday—citing the chaos and threats Springfield has faced since Trump first promoted the conspiracy theory that immigrants are eating people's pets—Higgins posted the following racist remarks from his official X account:

Trump Was Asked If He'll 'Pull' Mark Robinson Endorsement After Scandal—And His Response Is Peak Trump

Former President Donald Trump was criticized for playing dumb when asked if he'll "pull" his endorsement of North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson in the wake of revelations about Robinson's racial and sexual comments.

Robinson—who polls show trails behind Democratic nominee Josh Stein, the current Attorney General—pledged last week to stay in the governor's race despite a CNN report alleging he made explicit racial and sexual comments on an online message board, stating he won’t be pushed out by "salacious tabloid lies."

Texas Democrat Lays Out How Trump & Vance Would React If They 'Met Jesus Today'—And Yep, That Tracks

Texas State Democratic Representative James Talarico laid out in a powerful speech how former President Donald Trump, his running mate J.D. Vance, and Christian nationalists are the antithesis of Jesus Christ—and pointed out how they'd likely react if they were to meet him today.

Despite his adultery, dishonesty, criminal behavior, and other personal shortcomings, Trump claims to be a Christian and has actively sought the support of the evangelical community. He has delivered on his pledges to appoint conservative Christian judges to senior positions, a move that has been instrumental in restricting women’s reproductive rights and solidifying his base.
