During Friday’s White House press briefing, CBS News correspondent Steven Portnoy pressed Kayleigh McEnany on President Donald Trump’s comments about “Obamagate” crimes.
“The president suggested people should be jailed for what he suggested earlier in the week was a very obvious crime,” he said. “You’re an attorney and the president’s spokesperson. Perhaps you could lay out the elements of this crime. What crime was committed and in what way?”
Portnoy asked if the president thinks “those people should be jailed.” McEnany said, “I never said that. Those are your words, not mine. But perhaps you should look into it and get some answers. That is, after all, the job of reporters to answer the very questions I’ve laid out and I hope you guys will take the time to do it.”
REPORTER: Trump suggested Obama should be in jail. What are the specific crimes people committed as part of Obamagate?
McENANY: *filibusters about a bunch of non-crimes*
REPORTER: So what was criminal?

Asked why Trump didn’t try to replenish PPE stockpiles before the coronavirus hit, McEnany nonsensically changes the topic to the military threats Trump supposedly faced when he took office — the implication being he was preoccupied from doing so pic.twitter.com/ok7OAkS5JA

The Trump administration really thinks the American public will be impressed by the claim that their (nonexistent) pandemic response plan is in a binder (!), as opposed to Obama’s wimpy one which is just sheets of paper stapled together. Beyond parody. pic.twitter.com/GvYvdx0SL5
