Trump Press Secretary's Old Tweet Disrespecting Obama Re-Emerges After She Insists a Reporter Call Trump 'President'

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham left her post at the White House earlier this month, after which she was replaced by President Donald Trump's 2020 campaign press secretary Kayleigh McEnany—a devout spokeswoman for Trump since his 2016 campaign.

Like most of Trump's press secretaries, Kayleigh McEnany is gifted at spinning even the most damning developments in the Trump-osphere into what his supporters will believe is a win. Her willingness to lie helps in this regard.


McEnany's eagerness to heap praise upon the President is undoubtedly a good quality to have in the Trump White House, and it's a quality she she put on full display in a recent tweet to ABC reporter Katherine Faulders.

Faulders reported on an inconsistency regarding Trump's assertion that Maryland's Republican Governor Larry Hogan didn't mention a need for supplies to combat the virus before going through South Korean channels to receive medical equipment.

To McEnany, it wasn't the inconsistency that needed to be addressed, but that Faulders referred to the President as "Trump."

McEnany's respect for the office rang hollow, however, when her own tweet referring to President Barack Obama as simply "Obama" resurfaced.

What's more, it's perfectly acceptable to refer to a President by his or her last name. This is done by entities everywhere from newspapers to presidential campaigns themselves.

McEnany should probably be more concerned with her racist tweet about the former President, which she hasn't deleted and for which she hasn't (and likely won't) apologize.

People didn't hesitate to call out her hypocrisy.




But as long as we're getting technical about titles...



Go home, Kayleigh.

Pope Leo's Brother Sparks Outrage Over Vile Posts About Nancy Pelosi And Parents Of Trans Kids

The brother of Robert Prevost, a Chicago-born Roman Catholic Augustine cleric who last week became the newly-elected Pope Leo XIV, is facing heated criticism after some of his older Facebook posts resurfaced and revealed that he'd shared a video calling Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi a "drunk c**nt" as well as a transphobic meme about transgender children.

For instance, in an April 23 post, Prevost claimed that former President Obama desired “the total destruction of our way of life” and aimed to turn the U.S. into a dictatorship, adding that it would be “a racist one on top of it.” He had previously pushed a conspiracy theory alleging that “OBAMA WAS A CIA ASSET, PUT IN PLACE TO DESTROY THE USA.”

Stockholm Floored After Trump Administration Sends Letter Demanding They End DEI Programs

Swedish authorities in the capital of Stockholm criticized the Trump administration for sending a "bizarre" letter ordering that the city end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

The letter marked the latest step in President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
