White House press secretary pushes back on calls for Trump to address nation amid riots, protests

Brooke Singman 2 hrs ago

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Monday pushed back on calls for President Trump to address the nation amid the riots and protests that broke out across the country in response to Minneapolis man George Floyd’s death in police custody last week, maintaining that the president is committed to “action.”

McEnany, during an interview with “Fox & Friends,” said the president has “taken extraordinary action” -- noting the activation of the National Guard in more than a dozen states and the Trump administration’s move to designate Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization (despite disputed authority to do so).

“This president has been very clear that we need law and order in this country,” McEnany said, adding that violent protest “demeans the peaceful protesters who have a legitimate grievance when we see angry mob mentality take over and those horrific images of businesses burning and fires in the streets of this country.”

"The president has delivered multiple statement on this," replies @PressSec when asked why no address to the nation on the unrest. "What stops anarchy is action and that's what the president is working on now."

Asked about @GovWhitmer calling today's call with governors "deeply disturbing," @PressSec replies doesn't know why she should be dismayed by @POTUS asking governors "to do their job."

Stated like a private sector CEO   

No wonder Whitmer's head exploded.

To respond to the Washington, DC street violence amid the protests, “we’re going to do something that people haven’t seen before,” @POTUS told governors during today’s conference call.

McEnany is AWESOME!  And Democrat operatives fronting as journalists are liars.

She’s posed, articulate and prepared to put the lie to the presstitues phony questions that the president has been silent.

I’m was just waiting for one of the reporters to finally stand up and yell, “Uncle!”

Fast forward to the 39:45 mark and watch the last three minutes.  It is a mike-dropping moment for McEnamy.  As she walked off, and the press was completely silent.  There wasn't a damn thing they could say.   Not a thing.  She handed them their asses in a ziploc bag.

I really liked Huckabee, but McEnany is a rock star!
