Kayleigh McEnany Responds to Chris Wallace's Criticism of Her Press Briefing: ‘Journalists Are Not Above Being Questioned’
. . . “ 'What I was saying was, I was asked 11 questions as to why churches would be allowed to reopen. It was a bit peculiar to be asked these 11 questions in a row. And for the onus and the focus solely to be on why churches are essential, I’ve never been asked why liquor stores was essential," she continued. "So I was merely pointing that out. And to the point about questioning the journalists and asking why they’re asking certain questions, I field hundreds of questions a day. Journalists are not above being questioned themselves. Journalism is a great and noble profession, but there’s been a dearth of journalists asking the real questions for President Obama, the criminal leak of Michael Flynn's identity, who leaked that identity, the dossier which was used to launch a three-year investigation into this president and spy on his campaign. Why aren’t those questions being asked? It’s journalistic malpractice not to ask those questions and I can count on one hand the journalists who are like Maria Bartiromo and Catherine Herridge, but where is the lack of curiosity from the current press corps? There's extreme lack of curiosity at play.' " . . .

"White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany challenged the media on Friday to demand answers from former Obama administration officials about their reasons for spying on the Trump campaign in 2016 and unmasking former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

"I've seen a couple of Kaleigh's performances, and it's hard to think of her as "grotesque." She is self-assured, but grotesque?
"After all, this is a group of reporters who ask questions like comparing the pandemic death totals to Vietnam casualties, or another blamed the president because someone listened to him in February and died of the virus. And then there is the CBS lady who took off her mask to play the "Chinese card."
"It's obvious to me that many in this press corps are political activists, such as Jim Acosta of CNN. They are confrontational to make news rather than to obtain information for readers and viewers. They are like the umpire who makes controversial calls just to lead the sports report.
"Do you understand now why President Trump is just giving them a taste of their own medicine? He's tired of political activists with press passes." . . .
