Old Series of Tweets Shows Trump's New Press Secretary Absolutely Skewering Trump During 2016 Primary Debate

Old Series of Tweets Shows Trump's New Press Secretary Absolutely Skewering Trump During 2016 Primary Debate

Picture the time, during the 2016 election, when over a dozen Republicans were vying for the Republican Presidential nomination.

Many of those Republicans—like Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Ted Cruz (R-TX)—saw Trump as a bigoted, temperamental lowlife who wasn't fit to be President.


Flash forward to 2017, where Graham, Cruz, and a slew of others who initially denounced him became Trump's most loyal supporters once he moved into the White House.

You can now add Trump's latest Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany to that list.

The American people know McEnany as one of Trump's most devout defenders during the 2016 and beyond, but newly resurfaced tweets reveal her allegiance to Trump wasn't always so unyielding.

During one of the Republican primary debates, McEnany skewered Trump's lack of preparation, while praising his enemies.


McEnany's criticisms may not have been as biting as other Trump critics-turned-allies, but it does show just how unyielding her devotion to Trump—or to the position of Press Secretary has become.

The woman once capable of pointing out valid critiques of the President now makes the exasperating claim that he's never once told a lie.

How far they've fallen.





This isn't the first time McEnany's past tweets have gotten her in trouble.

During former President Barack Obama's second term, she made a racist crack about his brother living in a hut in Kenya.

It's a quip that people haven't let her forget and for which she has yet to apologize.



It's good to know that Kayleigh's principles are as fallible as those of her boss.

Lisa Kudrow Just Sounded Off On The Gross Behind-The-Scenes Treatment Her Female 'Friends' Costars Were Subjected To

Two decades after Friends defined a generation of sitcom television, Lisa Kudrow is pulling back the curtain on what she describes as a “mean” and at times inappropriate behind-the-scenes culture that didn’t treat its female stars equally.

While the NBC hit sold audiences on the easy chemistry of six tight-knit friends, Kudrow talked about a writers’ room dominated by men and shaped by behavior that often crossed the line. In a recent interview with the Times, Kudrow pointed to an overwhelmingly male writers’ room of 12–15 people as a key force shaping that dynamic.

The White House Just Tried To Rebrand ICE Agents As 'NICE Agents' With Hilariously Propagandistic Graphic

The White House was criticized for sharing an image to rebrand ICE agents as "NICE" agents, including a poster of an agent kneeling next to a child that has been condemned as blatant propaganda.

The decision came after President Donald Trump shared a post from a supporter urging him to change the name of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to National Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which would change the acronym from ICE to NICE.
