McEnany Complains That Riot Ruined Her Plan For Final Press Event Celebrating Trump’s “Great Achievements”

Politico reports:

Former press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Tuesday that the Trump White House scuttled plans for a parting press conference in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.

McEnany, in her first extended public interview since former President Donald Trump left office, told Fox News that she intended to have a final briefing as a send-off of sorts at the end of her tenure. She said the riot fomented by a throng of Trump supporters made that impossible.

“I wanted to do a press briefing on the way out about all the great achievements of this administration, and all the good that I felt that the president had done,” McEnany said. “We didn’t get the opportunity to do that because obviously Jan. 6th, it just was something that was not tenable.”
