Kayleigh McEnany Claims 'I Never Lied' as Trump's White House Press Secretary, Cites Belief in God

https://www.newsweek.com/kayleigh-mcenany-claims-i-never-lied-trumps-white-house-press-secretary-cites-belief-god-1600186

Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany proclaimed Sunday that her faith in God prevented her from ever telling a single lie during her tenure as former President Donald Trump's chief spokesperson.

McEnany spoke to attendees of the conservative group Turning Point USA's Young Women's Leadership Summit on Sunday, reiterating her past claims that she "never lied" one time as Trump's press secretary. McEnany, who was the Trump administration spokesperson from April 2020 to January 2021, recalled a May 2020 press conference question in which a journalist asked her bluntly, "Will you pledge to never lie to us from the podium?"

McEnany replied succinctly to the reporter, "I will never lie to you," prompting critics and political pundits to scoff at the remark.

On Sunday, McEnany repeated the claim and said her Christian faith and belief in God prevented her from telling lies to the American people. She went onto highlight her Harvard Law School background and "meticulous" preparation for the role of White House press secretary.

about where he dips his wick, in the first place.

Chris Rock once said: 'A man is only as faithful as his options'.

I'd think Mr. MAGAninny has a lot of options.

Keeps lying to cover previous lies. St. Elizabeth's has a special room waiting for her.

and publicly a person professes their faith, the more likely they are to be a complete scumbag who behaves opposite of the way their purported faith demands. KayLIEgh has not been an exception to that. I saw her first press conference. Immediately after claiming, "I will never lie," she spewed a litany of lies. And, she has continued to spew non-stop bullshit since then. Even her hair color is a lie.
