CNN Reporter Perfectly Calls Out Kayleigh McEnany to Her Face for Spreading Disinformation 'Every Day'

On her first day as White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany vowed to the White House press corps that she would never lie to them.

She failed to keep that promise not only in that very first briefing, but for virtually every briefing after.


McEnany falsely defended the President's bogus claim that the virus, which has killed over 300 thousand Americans, "affects virtually nobody." She falsely claimed the Mueller report—which investigated Russian meddling in the 2016 election and the Trump campaign's ties to it—resulted in a complete and total exoneration of the President. McEnany also absurdly said that the President never publicly downplayed the virus.

Even now, McEnany continues to repeat the President's lies about widespread voter fraud coordinated by Democrats tipping the 2020 election to President-elect Joe Biden.

All the while, McEnany echoes the President's smears of reporters and the "fake news media" to whom McEnany answers. She's called reporters "activists" and accused them of wanting to shut down religious services.

So at a Tuesday press briefing, when McEnany accused reporters of amplifying disinformation, CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta shouted a pointed question as the press secretary left the briefing room.

Watch below.

Acosta said:

"Kayleigh, isn't it hypocritical for you to accuse others of disinformation when you spread it every day?"

McEnany didn't answer his question, but Twitter users still applauded Acosta for asking it.





As of Tuesday, McEnany has only 36 days left as White House press secretary, but the criticisms of her job performance aren't subsiding.



Just before the briefing's conclusion, McEnany falsely said there's a chance of a "continuation of power"—or a second Trump term.

Trump Roasted After Sharing Quote Praising Him For Winning 'His First Nobel Prize'—And Yeah, Nope

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he published a Truth Social post in which he quoted Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who claimed this year's Nobel Prize in physics is by an extension a win for the Trump administration.

The Nobel Foundation awarded this year's physics prize to John Clarke (UC Berkeley), Michel H. Devoret (Yale and UC Santa Barbara), and John M. Martinis (UC Santa Barbara and Qolab) for “the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit."

CEO predicts society accepts robot death

In 2009, Waymo introduced its first fleet of driverless cars, sleek pods equipped with sensors, AI, and a “Sense, Solve, Go” system designed to navigate roads autonomously without human input. According to the company, its robotaxis now experience 91 percent fewer crashes and 91 percent fewer serious injuries than human drivers over the same distances.

But even as Waymo brags about its spotless stats, co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana is already bracing for the inevitable: the first fatality caused by one of its cars, and she thinks society will accept it.

Prince Harry Had The Perfect Response When Asked If He Can Do An American Accent—And It Was Actually Pretty Good

Americans are fascinated by hearing people from other countries "drop" their accents and emulate an American one.

For example, it's always interesting to see a British or Australian actor in a movie where they're portraying an American character, but while they might veil their natural accent, they sometimes emulate an American accent from a different part of the country than what would make sense for their character.

Democratic Senate Candidate Blasts Trump Administration With Reality Check Over Their Withholding Of SNAP Funding

If you ask pretty much any conservative, they will tell you that the government shutdown and all its blowback is entirely the Democrats' fault.

This includes the cancellation of SNAP benefits, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program previously known as "food stamps," beginning in November, which will cut off access to food to millions of people.
