Having given the media an assignment for the long weekend, the redoubtable Kayleigh McEnany closed her folder and walked away. She’s schooling the White House media and, because she’s obviously a good teacher, they might even learn to be actual reporters rather than party hacks.

She threw that issue right back at the dishonest media and their habit of playing “mean girl” politics rather than doing actual reporting:
