Kayleigh McEnany Says Obama Rushed off to Play Golf after Daniel Pearl was Killed

this is her way of defending the piece of shit playing golf all fucking day .


<“You have President Obama who, after the ― I believe it was after the beheading of Daniel Pearl ― spoke about how upset he was and then rushed off to a golf game,” McEnany said on CNN on Monday night.

Pearl was abducted and killed in 2002 when George W. Bush was president. Obama was a state senator in Illinois at the time.

McEnany may have been referring to freelance war correspondent James Foley, who was killed by terrorists in 2014. At the time, Obama was on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, where he issued a statement and then went golfing. Obama was criticized over the incident, which he later admitted looked bad.

McEnany’s comments drew a swift reaction on social media, where she was blasted for botching the facts and for using Pearl’s name to score political points:>

What's that you say? FDR never, ever went golfing? What kind of President never goes golfing? (George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt (that's all of Mount Rushmore). Taft was the first.)
