Kayleigh McEnany made an eye-popping claim at a conservative conference on Sunday, saying that she never lied in her role as former President Donald Trumps White House Press Secretary, because she was a woman of faith.
McEnany was speaking at Turning Point USAs Young Womens Leadership Summit, and mentioned how she had been asked at her very first press briefing as press secretary if she would ever lie to the American people. And I said without hesitation, no, said McEnany, and I never did. As a woman of faith, as a mother of baby Blake, as a person who meticulously prepared at some of the worlds hardest institutions, I never lied. I sourced my information.
A quick search of Mediaites archives presents a much different view of McEnanys record of honesty, documenting multiple examples of her stretching the truth, dodging questions, just flat-out lying, or backing up some of Trumps absurd claims. Politifact has a fairly harsh rating for McEnanys tenure as press secretary, evaluating her statements as Mostly False, False, or Pants on Fire 56 percent of the time. McEnany earned Half True 14 percent of the time, Mostly True 28 percent, and True zero percent.

(65,076 posts)There's proof of her lying.
Now, with that proof extant, she lies about not lying.
That cross around her neck would burst into flames if her god actually existed.

You and 74 million other idiots never figured it out, because of the lies YOU told, I'm telling you now Biden won the election. The only fraud in the election was named Trump and you lied for him, many times, you stupid fool !
She can't tell the truth anyways, she works for Fox news.

It's illogical, yes, and morally contemptible too given that it is said with an intention to deceive... But above all it is so damn WEAK and UNDIGNIFIED. Crying "I didn't do it!" while cowering behind your imaginary friend as a human shield.

During a press briefing that day, McEnany claimed that Trump "never downplayed the virus" ...
