White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Tuesday denied any “secretive operations” happening in Portland as unidentified federal law enforcement officers are being deployed to quell ongoing protests.
Whether it’s secret or brazenly obvious, you lying eel, it’s illegitimate and authoritarian. Always with the red herrings, she loves that. Add word and deny, it’s that easy!
Not secretive? So how many people were detained, what records were kept, who was released and who was formally arrested and on what grounds, who did the arresting and under what authority and what steps, if any, have been taken to charge the officers with the various crimes they were caught on camera committing?
Portland has, of course, not lost control of anything…it’s a small protest in a few blocks of the city, and that’s it. If they had not brought in the feds the situation would be even calmer…the protestors are really pissed off about people being grabbed off the street and new, aggressive tactics, and rightly so.
McEnany is showing more and more that she’s the perfect spokesperson for the Trump administration, as she’s blatantly lying while pushing for a more authoritarian nation. It’s going to be very interesting to watch what she says in the run up to the election, and afterwards when Trump loses badly…I suspect we’ll see things you’d never expect out of a press secretary. And, I can’t wait until she is gone.
From what I’ve seen, the core protesters in Portland who get close and confront the police/CBP are well equipped, protected, trained, coordinated, and supported by medics. It seems pretty easy to frustrate the crowd control measures of this small group of SS from CBP. From what I see, CBP is getting clowned. If this is being edited and shared as propaganda on Fox, then ok. But in realistic terms, it’s a clown show.
Kayleigh - Queen of the Gaslight. She’s really a wispy mayfly that is three months away from being swatted out of relevance, if not existence. Tinkerbell with a hitch in her get-a-long.
I have recently been watching reruns of The Drew Carey Show on YouTube. During one of the programs it occurred to me who Kayleigh McEnany reminded me of.
Unmarked cars; unmarked uniforms; no name badges; no declaration of what the arrest (or the hauling off to downtown) is for; detention without charges; questioning with no broken law, supposed crime, or probable cause identified; unprovoked violent attacks on citizens. Nope, nothing secretive there. I know this because a compulsive liar wearing an ostentatious gold cross just told me.
Seriously, the networks should show some self-respect and not allow her on the air.
