White House Briefing Goes Off the Rails

“For the second time in a week, the United States bore witness to an animated and interruption-filled political discussion. The first one was Tuesday’s debate, but Thursday’s White House briefing wasn’t that different,” the Washington Post reports.

“And perhaps more than any briefing before it, it reinforced the White House’s credibility problem.”

“Press secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s briefing was contentious on a level we’ve rarely seen, even in this White House. McEnany attempted to turn aside questions about Trump’s wishy-washy comments on self-declared white supremacists and his dubious claims about mail-in voting, while playing up Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett.”
