Quote Of The Day: Kayleigh McEnany

By News & Guts

The lying is to the point of becoming comical, if it were not so dangerous. Today, the White House Press Secretary said the opposite of what Donald Trump said to Bob Woodward on tape.

“The president never downplayed the virus.” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany

But in the book…..

“I wanted to always play it down.” President Donald Trump to reporter Bob Woodward (on tape)

“The President never downplayed the virus.” – @PressSec

“I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down.” – Trump, March 19th. pic.twitter.com/bFFSTnTzyd
