Kayleigh McEnany, a former press secretary for former President Donald Trump and current Fox News host, delivered a scathing critique of President Joe Biden’s press conference following the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on the president’s handling of classified documents. Despite her previous disagreements with Trump, McEnany did not hold back in her assessment of Biden’s performance.
“We just saw an unmitigated disaster play out before our very eyes. We just watched a wounded political animal hobble to a podium and react with defensiveness, with anger, and you know it’s bad, Jesse, when you have the White House press corps. They are essentially an extension of the Joe Biden press and communications team,” she told Fox News colleague Jesse Watters during his Friday program.
“When they are shouting at him, asking repeatedly, ‘Are you going to step aside, Mr. President?’ The CNN correspondent asking that. When NBC, of all places, writes the headline, a nightmare, special counsel report triggers panic among Democrats. When you have a president who for 45 minutes announces a press conference with no topic, giving the world 45 minutes to speculate is he stepping aside? What would life be like under a President Kamala Harris? For 45 minutes, the nation got to feel that panic, and I don’t think they will forget it come November,” she added.
