Trump's Press Secretary Told Reporters 'I Will Never Lie to You' and Then Lied to Their Faces Minutes Later

Former Trump campaign press secretary Kayleigh McEnany was recently appointed President Donald Trump's White House press secretary.

She's the fourth person to occupy the position and, like all of Trump's previous press secretaries, is an expert at spinning the President's most atrocious scandals into acts of benevolence to his supporters.


On Friday, McEnany held the first "daily" White House Press Briefing in over a year, and she made a surprising pledge.

Watch below.

One of the White House correspondents asked McEnany to pledge not to lie to any reporters going forward—a pledge none of her predecessors kept.

McEnany responded:

"I will never lie to you. You have my word on that."

McEnany then proceeded to lie to them multiple times as Vox's Aaron Rupar pointed out.

She said the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh were "verifiably false."

This is far from the truth. Though Republican Senators may have voted to confirm Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, no exculpatory evidence was offered and his primary accuser, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, never withdrew her claims.

She then lied about sexual assault allegations against Trump, saying that the accusations of those nearly 30 women were outdated and answered by voters in the 2016 election four years ago.

In reality, E. Jean Carroll came out about her alleged assault by Trump in a dressing room in the 1990s. She's seeking the President's DNA to match it with a stain from the outfit she was wearing that day. Carroll's accusation came just last year.

McEnany later lied about recent revelations from handwritten FBI notes regarding the questioning of Trump's former Chief of Staff, Michael Flynn.

McEnany said there was a handwritten FBI note that said "we need to get Flynn to lie and get him fired."

In reality, the note said:

"What is our goal? Truth/admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?"

Flynn did lie to the FBI. He pleaded guilty for it.

Sadly, people weren't surprised that it took Kayleigh all of 15 minutes to break her vow.






Then again, in the Trump administration, lying to glorify the President is the primary job requirement.




Different face, same schtick.

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
