Trump stooge Kayleigh McEnany walks out of her own press conference after getting question she doesn’t like
Donald Trump didn’t bother to hold a press briefing today, even as he fails to make up his mind whether he has or hasn’t gotten rid of the coronavirus task force. Instead he sent White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany to the podium to lie for him. Let’s just say that it didn’t go well.
Not too long ago, Kayleigh McEnany said coronavirus wouldn’t come to the United States. Seventy thousand dead Americans later, she’s turned out to have been very wrong. She was asked about it today, and after she tried and failed to deflect the question, she bolted:
Asked by @jeffmason1 if she'd like to take back a statement saying the Coronavirus won't come to the U.S., @PressSec asks if the press wants to take back a variety of stories. I would take that as a "No". At least she didn't. No follow up. She walked out. pic.twitter.com/4G1ZOJPznf

Q from @jeffmason1: Do you want to take back saying that, "Pres Trump will not allow the coronavirus to come to this country"?
WH Press Sec doesn't answer Q directly, reads a list of headlines about the coronavirus & asks if media wants to take those back & then leaves.
