Friday morning White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany baffled people on social media with her ability to clutch so tightly to the misinformation from the Trump administration.
The tweet was in response to an investigative Vanity Fair article published on Thursday that boldly criticized President Trump's disastrous response to the pandemic since the start of 2020. The virus has since devastated the country landing the United States with the highest infection rate worldwide.

In the tweet about the hard-hitting article McEnany stated:
"President Trump has consistently put the health of all Americans first."
This Vanity Fair story is another inaccurate and disgusting partisan hit job. President Trump has consistently put the health of all Americans first.

Twitter users called out the Press Secretary for her statement citing the raising death toll that has claimed 200,000 American lives.
200,000 dead.

You misspelled health. It should be death. https://t.co/a9wXMXztrG

According to Trump, the last administration's handling of the H1N1 virus (12,469 deaths) was “a disaster." His handling of the coronavirus (197,472 deaths and counting) has been an “incredible job
Deaths:
202,213

He knew in January covid was airborne and deadly He never warned or prepared the nation. 200,000 are dead, over 6 million sick and suffering. He STILL has no national strategy.

Many people voiced their outrage at Trump's continued attempt to get rid of the Affordable Care Act with no alternative in place which would leave tens of millions of Americans without access to healthcare during a pandemic.
Then why is he trying to strike down Obamacare in the Supreme Court even though he has no replacement plan?

Ah, yes. Nothing says putting the health of all Americans first like lying about a deadly disease while also trying to take away healthcare.
He's a real Mother Teresa.
— The Hoarse Whisperer (@TheRealHoarse) September 18, 2020
Is that why he lied about Covid and went to SCOTUS to fight against Obamacare and introduced no new plan about health care? Because he was putting the health of all Americans first? Just stop Kayleigh. https://t.co/oOJvXa5s6q

Doesn't sound like putting American health first.
In a February interview with journalist Bob Woodward, Trump admitted he knew how dangerous and easily communicable the virus is while still denying it publicly.
Twitter users reminded McEnany how Trump willingly and consistently lied to the public about the virus when he knew these deadly risks.
In a recorded conversation with Woodward on February 7, Trump said the coronavirus was "more deadly than even your strenuous flus" and that people could contract the virus just by breathing in air.

Lordy, there's tapes
— Patrick Lewis (@plewis1956) September 18, 2020
“Herd Immunity" His words. Trump is willing to sacrifice a million people because he couldn't control this virus. It didn't just “disappear" with the heat so now he is willing to let it kill a million. Not a hit job, his own words.
— Mother of Doodle (@CanadianDoodle) September 18, 2020
#KayLiar, we heard the tapes. We know what he said. We have listened to him downplaying the virus for SIX MONTHS. We heard him floating the insane herd immunity idea the other night which would kill and maim millions. Stop lying, #KayLiar. Just STOP LYING!

One truth in all this is that the American people are done with all the lies.
Amazing.....so EVERYONE in the world is lying, and Trump, fox entertainment are the only ones telling the truth. Doubtful.

How can you say that with a straight face? In 'Rage' he told us he downplayed so not to panic, straight after that quote, he was playing golf, held a rally and basically had a holiday. He was more interested in the Stock market than USA lives. Have a nice weekend.

My Uncle died this week of COVID-19. He wasn't social distancing, he wasn't wearing a mask. He trusted the president - he listened to him when the president said it was a hoax.
The suffering caused by this administration isn't just in blue states.

I really hope for your sake you never wake up and realize the scale and scope of the harm you're now perpetuating because if you do and you have a soul and a conscience, the shame and guilt will destroy you.

During this public health crisis it is important to fact check your information. We are all in this together.
Stopping the spread of misinformation will help us better understand how to keep each other safe. Stay safe, wash your hands, and vote in November.
