White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has definitely come into the job with all guns firing.
She’s already dropped the media on their head, as my colleague Sister Toldjah has previously reported.
She just did it again when she turned a question around on PBS’s Yamiche Alcindor who asked about prior comments that she had made in 2015 about President Donald Trump that CNN had dredged up.
McEnany said that perhaps instead of being concerned about her prior opinion, which changed when she became more informed, CNN should be more concerned about the people who they invited on their network, like former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper who lied shamelessly on the network about Russia collusion being bigger than Watergate while testifying to Congress that he hadn’t found anything to support collusion.
From Townhall:
“I would encourage the individual who did that analysis of my past, rather than focusing on me, he really should be focused on some of the various guests CNN chose to have on their network,” she continued. “He should be focused on…Jim Clapper, who said ten days before he privately told investigators there was no evidence of collusion, that Watergate pales in comparison to the Russia probe. I would encourage them to look at Samantha Power, who’s privately saying, ‘I’m not in possession of any evidence of collusion.’ Ambassador Rice, ‘I don’t recall intelligence or evidence of any collision.’ Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, “I don’t recall that being brief to me.'”
McEnany criticized CNN for running with the collusion narrative for over two years, “Perhaps they should do analysis of that.”
Like a boss, not only highlighting how the Obama officials’ testimony clearly showed there was no collusion, but also busting the many lies told by Obama officials like James Clapper in public, saying there was collusion. Plus putting CNN and other media on the spot for putting on all these people for years when there was nothing to the story.
The testimony to Congress:

Versus just a small sample of the lies told to the public. Clapper is a liar.
James Clapper was willfully lying to our faces.

Clapper made those remarks to the House Intel Committee on July 17, 2017
Here is Clapper in May 2019, while being paid by CNN: “What was the Trump campaign doing the same time was essentially aiding and abetting the Russians” https://t.co/569g0DHCcw pic.twitter.com/xhNv9TzorC
