Jake Tapper Had the Most Brutally Accurate Explanation for Why He Won't Book Kayleigh McEnany on His Show

On her first day as White House Press Secretary earlier this year, Kayleigh McEnany vowed to White House correspondents that she would "never lie" to them.

She proceeded to break that promise only minutes later, and—like the Trump administration's three press secretaries before her—McEnany continued to lie daily in an effort to defend the administration.


McEnany absurdly claimed that Trump never downplayed the virus that's killed over 300 thousand Americans. She lied that President-elect Joe Biden admitted to facilitating nonexistent widespread voter fraud. She lied that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) pursuing Trump's impeachment through a process laid out in the Constitution was "undoing the Constitution." McEnany continues to peddle the outgoing President's lies that President-elect Biden's win is somehow unconfirmed or illegitimate.

In a recent interview with CNN's Brian Stelter, CNN anchor Jake Tapper noted that he would never book McEnany for an interview because of the effortlessness with which she lies.

Watch below.

When asked about the White House's obfuscation of the truth, Tapper said:

"There are some people that are so mendacious, I just wouldn't put them on air. Kayleigh McEnany, I never booked her. ... These are just people who tell lies the way that most people breathe. There was no value in that."

McEnany was none too pleased to see Tapper's answer, and lied about not lying in response.

People largely agreed with Tapper's assessment.






Tapper went on to contrast McEnany's statements with those of former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway's, whom Tapper said focused more on subject changes and evasion than outright lying.

This was the main point of contention among Twitter users regarding his statement.



McEnany's last day as press secretary is January 20th, when the Biden administration begins governing.

Coca-Cola Blasted After Honoring Trump With Personalized Diet Coke Bottle For His Inauguration

The Coca-Cola company was widely criticized after James Quincey, its Chairman and CEO, presented President-elect Donald Trump with a Diet Coke bottle commemorating his upcoming inauguration.

The label on the bottle displayed Trump’s name, the date of his anticipated second inauguration, and an image of the White House. Trump is known to be a big fan of Diet Coke—he reportedly drinks 12 bottles per day—and he had an Oval Office button that aided in the delivery of the soda during his first presidency.

Failed 2024 GOP hopeful Nikki Haley's endorsement of President-elect Donald Trump came back to haunt her after Trump posted on Truth Social that he no longer wants recommendations of people who worked for his enemies, including "Birdbrain" Nikki Haley, who previously served as the United Nations Ambassador during the first Trump administration.

Haley, once Trump's primary rival on the campaign trail, gave him her "strong endorsement" during a speech at the Republican National Convention over the summer, ending months of speculation about whether she would support her former opponent.
