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then lied about sexual assault allegations against Trump, saying that the accusations of those nearly 30 women were outdated and answered by voters in the 2016 election four years ago.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

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

MAGA Politicians Called Out After Falling For AI-Generated Photo Of U.S. Airmen Rescue In Iran

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
