Little Jim Acosta tried to play games with Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany and found out the hard way, don’t mess with her.
During the daily White House press briefing Jim Acosta hammered the President claiming he is a liar and should be fact-checked by social media companies. In response, McEnany fired back, “There is no one that should be fact-checked more than the mainstream media that has been continually wrong about a number of things.”
She then went on a litany of lies the mainstream media have published over the past three years.
Trying to be cute Acosta then reminded McEnany that she told the press she would never lie to them and asked her if Trump has ever lied. “His intent is always to give truthful information to the American people,” McEnany responded.
The media has no idea how to deal with her it’s pure gold to watch.

Matter of fact, Twitter had to walk back their fact check because they were dead wrong. Dustin Volz, writer at the Wall Street Journal wrote, “There was an error in Twitter’s fact check of Trump’s vote-by-mail tweets, underscoring the challenge social media platforms face trying to arbitrate truth. It was corrected after an election professional notified the company (and me) about the mistake.”
