Kayleigh McEnany tries to blame Biden for spike in murders -- but quickly realizes it was under Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former White House press secretary-turned-Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany attempted to slam President Joe Biden on Twitter Thursday using a graphic that showed a significant uptick in the U.S. murder rate during the 2020 calendar year.

There was only one problem — Donald Trump was president for that entire time.

In the initial tweet sent out early Thursday morning by McEnany, she quote-tweeted Axios reporter Lachlan Markay, who had featured a New York Times graphic depicting a 20%-plus increase to the number of murders in the United States in 2020.

Shortly after numerous Twitter users pointed out her error, the tweet was deleted.

No one ever accused her of being smart.

1. Lying liars lie.

Facts, truth, reality is no longer on the table.

She will spout it out and the MAGAts will screech it as gospel.

The right wing nuts still blame Obama for no doing anything about 9/11. I wish that were a joke.

6. You're right about 9/11.

See the 3:33 mark.

2. Apparently when you lock people up with their families, murder rates increase

This is a painful reminder why the "gun to protect my home" argument is 50% bullshit

3. This demonstrates so well that their ...

… only approach to politics is merely to criticize the opposition for anything and everything, at all times. There is no actual thought in her tweet. She’s not genuinely concerned about the murder rate. She’s not assessing Joe’s policy and offering a rational criticism. It’s just an attempt at a “gotcha”. The fact that it spectacularly backfired and revealed her as a buffoonish hack doesn’t matter. She’ll just try again. Soon.

They simply aren’t serious about governance. At all.

4. It must be easy to be her.
