As White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany had the unenviable task of defending former President Donald Trump to the White House press corps.
With Trump lying to the public over 30 thousand times, it was inevitable that McEnany had to lie to defend him, despite her initial promise to "never lie" to the press.
McEnany recently appeared at Turning Point USA's Young Women's Leadership Summit, where she made another spurious claim.

'I never lied': Kayleigh McEnany credits her 'faith' for truthful White House press conferenceswww.youtube.com
McEnany said:
"As a woman of faith, as a mother of baby Blake, as a person who meticulously prepared at some of the world's hardest institutions, I never lied. I sourced my information, but that will never stop the press from calling you a liar."
This is...not true.
McEnany lied that the Mueller Report was a "complete and total exoneration" of Trump (it wasn't). She lied that Paw Patrol, a children's cartoon show about police dogs, had been canceled as part of growing national opposition to the police (it wasn't). She misleadingly said that Trump saved the country from a projected two million pandemic deaths (he didn't). Just to name a few.
But people hadn't forgotten some of McEnany's greatest hits.

They found the claim completely absurd.
She\u2019s even lying about this. What a pathetic empty soul hiding behind her religion. She lied with every breath and that is on top of her aggressive trampling of anyone who dared disagree with her. Pathetic.https://twitter.com/newsweek/status/1404172087137275906\u00a0\u2026— Fred Wellman (@Fred Wellman) 1623676805

All she did, and does, is lie.https://twitter.com/newsweek/status/1404172087137275906\u00a0\u2026— Anushay Hossain (@Anushay Hossain) 1623642372
