WASHINGTON – A White House press secretary who refers questions to the White House?
Kayleigh McEnany is wearing two hats, one as a Trump 2020 campaign adviser and the other as the White House press secretary, charged with articulating the administration’s policies and positions to the press and the public.
“Well, I haven’t spoken to the president about that, so that would be a question more for the White House,” she said.
Joe Lockhart, who served as White House press secretary under President Bill Clinton, tweeted that McEnany’s “behavior is both outrageous and damaging.” He called for House lawmakers to conduct an inquiry.
Bookbinder said McEnany bolstered her position by not taking a question about White House policy in the Fox interview.
