Yeah it's a real shame she wanted to be accurate. Kayleigh Mcenany would have just made something up or scolded the reporter for asking a "gotcha" question and being part of the "f**e news".

Hell one of Trump's Press Secretaries never held a Press Conference. Stephanie Grisham served a dual role as Press Secretary and White House Communications Director for 10 months and apparently didn't care to communicate.

That was something someone else had asked her 'the other day' and she said she'd 'circle back'. (In case you hadn't figured it out yet, 'circle back' apparently means I don't know but I'll find out.) That indicates to me that she would go get the answer and have it available. It was obvious that she didn't do that or she would have been able to pull it up. Kayleigh would have had that binder organized and would have turned to the correct page on the first try. You saw her do that many times. She never fumbled and mumbled like that over a legitimate question.

What is she going to if they start throwing the softball instead of just gently rolling it towards the front of the room?

Does your daughter still think Spicy was ready?

She's not a policy maker - she's she's a very good communicator of administration policy. She replies honestly and daily. She doesn't lie - she admits she has to check on an issue rather than lie about it. You just want to h**e anything to do with Biden.

I think she is great, a few too many ah's in her speech, other than that she is perfect.

You missed the point. She had ALREADY 'admitted she had to check on an issue' days previously and was unprepared. Period. She was still 'circling'. If she was prepared, she would have known which page she wanted and either responded with an answer to that previously asked question or been able to indicate that she had asked someone specific and was waiting for an answer. Organization. It's that simple.

This has nothing to do with hating Biden. I don't h**e Biden. I feel sorry for him. He will be used up and thrown away.

Perhaps you are overstating the point. Her job is to enunciate policy decisions, not make them. There is a tremendous amount of pressure on the new administration, not all decisions are made within one meeting. If she had forgotten to follow-up on the point then she made a mistake. Not all of the cabinet positions have been approved. This is a challenging turnover, remember how the t***sition was limited due to several reasons, none of them good. They're running fast just trying to make progress. I personally think she is doing an excellent job. She reminds me of "CJ" of the show "The West Wing".... very savvy in her relationship to the press.

Who ever said anything about 'policy making'. I'm just saying she is pathetically unorganized. If someone asks a question that she has to 'circle back' to then she damn sure should have that question written down for follow up. She should have been able to flip directly to that question of days ago - because she or staff has been working on it - and either provide an answer or some brief explanation as to why she doesn't have an answer yet.
That's kind of the whole point as to why she's standing where she is.

Trump supporters will find or conjure faults conveniently forgetting the lies they were told at those rare press conferences of the former administration. She is doing a very good job - you just cannot accept how much better she is in one week than Huckerbee Sanders et al were in four years. No worries, I'm sure you'll have plenty of other complaints these next four years (and beyond God willing!)
