The President's Press Secretary stands alone against the media forces who want to eat her alive

On Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace and Jonah Goldberg tore into her.

Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany Turns Briefing On Its Head, Demands Answers From The Press  . . . “ 'I laid out a series of questions that any good journalist would want to know about why people were unmasked,” McEnany began, asking whether anyone in the room had followed up on her questions.

“ 'Oh, not a single journalist has posed that question?” she asked, introducing her slides and suggesting that they all consider the answers to her questions over the holiday weekend. “Maybe you’re visual learners and you guys will follow up with journalistic curiosity,” she added."
"Her questions were as follows:

1. Why did the Obama administration use opposition research, funded by a political organization and filled with foreign dirt, to spy on members of the Trump campaign?
2. Why was Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn unmasked by Obama’s chief of staff, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, and others?
3. Why was Flynn’s identity leaked — a criminal act — to the press?
4. Why did the DOJ learn about the FBI’s interest in Flynn’s conversations with the Russian Amb. from a conversation with Obama in the Oval Office?
5. Why did James Clapper, John Brennan, Samantha Power and Susan Rice privately admit under oath that they had no evidence of collusion while saying the opposite publicly?

“It’s a long weekend,” McEnany concluded. “You guys have three days to follow up on those questions and I certainly hope the next time I ask, some hands go up. Because Obama’s spokesperson should be asked those questions, because President Trump’s spokespeople certainly would be.”
"With that, McEnany closed her folder and walked out of the briefing room." . . .

In praise of Kayleigh McEnany  . . . "Most press secretaries, however able, seem reflexively on the defensive. McEnany is cheerfully outgoing, a patient but no-nonsense camp counselor in charge of the problem kids. I like her air of calm competence, her well-put-together sense of style, and her frank but uncloying affirmation of religious commitment, signaled by the discreet golden cross that she wears on her necklace.

     "All this drives the press nuts, of course, as does her habit of turning questions back on the questioner. This makes the game of ‘Gotcha!’ very difficult for the munchkins of the Fourth Estate. At a May 6 presser, one bemasked scribe attempted to taunt McEnany with a comment she made a few months back on Fox News before she was appointed Press Secretary. ‘President Trump,’ she said, ‘will not allow the coronavirus to come to this country.’
     "Gotcha? Nope. Not only had the little man torn the statement utterly out of context — the context being President Trump’s efforts to keep Americans safe from such banes as terrorism and the Chinese virus — but it also totally ignored the prevailing narrative." . . . Roger Kimball's article continues..
