Jake Tapper Torches Kayleigh McEnany Over Tucker Carlson Hour Gig

CNN’s Jake Tapper issued a blistering reminder about Kayleigh McEnany after the factually challenged former Trump White House press secretary revealed she’ll be guest host next week in Tucker Carlson’s old 8 p.m. timeslot on Fox News.

McEnany is “one of the biggest spreaders of the post-election lies that just cost the network $787.5 million,” Tapper tweeted on Thursday. He shared a December 2020 post from McEnany falsely claiming: “Chances of Biden winning Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin independently after @realDonaldTrump’s early lead is less than one in a quadrillion.”

See the tweet here:

McEnany’s time in Donald Trump’s administration was characterized by outright lies, falsehoods and untruths in defense of the then-president, even though she promised during her first White House briefing to never lie.

McEnany made regular appearances on Fox News during the Trump era. She joined the network as an on-air contributor in February 2021 and was named a co-host of the daytime show “Outnumbered” a month later.

McEnany follows Brian Kilmeade and Lawrence Jones as a guest host of the prime-time spot Carlson ruled until his abrupt ouster last week.

In a preview of her temporary tenure, McEnany promised “a great week.”
