Is Kayleigh McEnany the best Press Secretary in history? I think she may be. True, it’s early days. She was elevated to the position only in April and presided over her first briefing just a few weeks ago on May 1. But so far her tenure has been glorious. Despite having attended both Georgetown and Harvard, where she took a law degree, she remains quick-witted, forthright and occupies a cant-free zone that suffuses the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room with a spirit of patriotic candor that is as welcome as it is rare in the self-involved purlieus of the so-called mainstream media.

I think Kayleigh is great at the podium. If the leftist pretend-journos she's forced to stand before think they'll get the best of her they better re-think that. She's twice as smart as the smartest one out there and if they want to act foolish she'll see that they come off as the fools that they are.

FTA: "She then stepped back from the podium and strode from the room, her elegant white pantsuit a living reproach to Hillary Clinton, while the guppies exploded in impotent indignation."
Outstanding!!

She is a hoot ! Smart and a good interrogator. The press is speechless as they are punched right back. Wallace and Goldberg are grotesque something McEnany is not. Their behavior is indefensible but once again they are part of the leftist media no matter how much they rate themselves as fair.

If any of the left-wing press thinks they are going to get the best of this lady....it ain't going to happen.
She is outstandingly smart and has all the facts and is totally ready to put them in their place !!
Not only that....she is a looker !!!

I find it hysterical that she attended both Georgetown and Harvard. How dare she? That’s their (libs) school. They can’t slam her for her looks, education, and wit. She’s awesome and handles the media the way they deserve.

Wallace is a wuss, a pajama boy in a coat and tie. Snarky and rude, he does not deserve any respect.
Out of respect for our host, I will reserve comments on Jonah.

When Sarah Sanders was mad at you, you knew it. Kayleigh can do the same as Sarah but with a smile. I love it. Keep up the good work. President Trump can sure pick winners. Trump 2020

Best line: "She then stepped back from the podium and strode from the room, her elegant white pantsuit a living reproach to Hillary Clinton..."

‘You were prepared for that!’
It's like they tried to zing her by asking her the price of a gallon of milk and she proceeded to give them the price of every item in the store. She left them nowhere to turn and proved that she knows their jobs better than they do.
Then Chris Wallace and Jonah Goldberg go into a whine fest about it. They are whining because Kayleigh is effective and short circuits their agenda based "reporting". They think they have the sole right to be the public voice but that was never their job. The government was actually ELECTED to govern. Reporters were NOT elected to ANYTHING. Just because they have been chosen by their company to stand in front of a camera doesn't give them authenticity or credibility. Heck, any person can make a video and post it on YouTube. What makes my effort any less legitimate than theirs? They resent the competition of other voices that challenge them; especially anyone associated with Trump, who has neutered them.

Those jackal creeps, not journalist, have turned the President of the United States pressers into a disgusting scam of 'I gotcha' so why not unleash a Goliath on them.
Acne face Chris Wallace is the grotesque one with his snarky manner so take it Chris and chew on it now.

I went over to cnn and msnbc to see if they were covering her. They weren't. They don't cover Trump and they don't cover her. Tells you how effective they are.

We are lucky to have Kayleigh. Sent by God to bring joy to the deploreables. Kayleigh's critics cannot win, as anyone that observes can see she is perfect.

I love Sarah, and she could hold her own, but this chick is da bomb diggity! I love that she's a lawyer and therefore isn't flummoxed by their idiocy cloaked in earnest-seeming questioning.
She and Ric Grenell are my favorites in the administration.

You can go on You Tube and access all of the high points of her press conferences. It beats anything on TV.

OP, that is her best attribute I think, for the press certainly thought they were in for a free ride, that is until she opened her mouth and honesty fell out. I did not realize she was an Ivy League trained lawyer. I just might have to revise my exclusive list of lawyers I actually have respect for. Sydney Powell is also on that short list.

My millennial adult son, who is a Ron Paul acolyte seen he was a teen, ( I do not know where that comes from, but I am okay with that). LOVES her. He comes in every day and says, "Mom, you gotta watch Kayleigh". This brings me great joy, because if she is reaching the under early 30's gang and under that is huge.

Will somebody send her a t-shirt with "Back at you" on the front.

Normally I would suspect anyone named Kayleigh of being a bubblehead. In this case, I couldn't be more wrong. She's smart, entertaining, and even more fun to watch than Sarah Huckabee.
