More revisionist history from Dementia Donny. Here he is at a rally in Fort Myers, Florida, this Friday, pretending his disaster of a Press Secretary that lasted about 45% of a Scaramucci was somehow treated badly by the sycophants they've loaded up the White House press room with — and that's why he recommended she quit.
TRUMP: See all the people back there? Six, seven percent are really fine journalists. Six or seven. But they were screaming.
They wanted to know so many different things. "What about this? What about that?"
No wonder that poor young woman — she was a perfect, beautiful woman — when she walked into that press room and they started screaming at her, she freaked out.
And I said, You know what? There are nicer ways for you to make a living. You want to deal with these maniacs? You can deal if you want, but there are easier ways for you to live.
While the veteran White House reporter noted that Zacharia took questions from only three outlets during the briefing — Breitbart, Fox News and the Daily Mail — he said he was struck that no one who was called upon “did what has been done in almost every one of the cases where a press secretary showed up for the first time, which is ask a very fundamental question.”
That question, according to Alexander, is whether the press secretary views the position’s “primary role” as “promoting” the president’s interests or being “committed to providing the unvarnished truth to the American people.”
Of course the idiot MAGAs in the audience ate it up.
Trump on Katie Zacharia: "She was a perfect, beautiful woman. When she walked in to the press room and they started screaming at her, she freaked out. And I said, 'You know what? There are nicer ways to make a living.'"
Dude, you pushed a totally unqualified, lying, conspiracy theoriest onto a podium where she was going to have to deal with reality. She was always going to fail.
