This Pandemic has been hard on everyone. Countries around the world had to make tough choices in how they were going to prevent the spread of this virus. But Trump stood tall and had our country lockdown in order to flatten the curve. He did so to help save American lives,but the MSM doesn’t understand that. They blame Trump for those killed by the virus. The same MSM that bashed Trump for closing our border and preventing travel from China is now attacking Trump for not moving fast enough. Politico’s Ryan Lizza asked Press Security Kayleigh McEnany how many American deaths would be deemed acceptable to consider the Corona Virus Response a success and she man handled him.
“What does the White House view, as having by election day, what does the White House view as the number of dead Americans where you can say that you successfully defeated this pandemic?” Politico’s Ryan Lizza asked. “Is there a number?”
“Yeah, you know, every loss of life counts,” McEnany started. “We say 100,000, but like the president says, one death is something to be mourned. These 100,000 individuals have a face, the president takes this very seriously, it’s why he lowered the flag to half-staff for three days to remember these men and women,” she explained
“I think you know, Dr. Birx said it best when she said that in their estimates they had anywhere between 1.5 and 2.2 million people in the U.S. succumbing to the virus if we didn’t shut down the economy. The president made the very hard choice of shutting down the economy so we avoided that extraordinary number,” McEnany continued.
“One death is too many, we never want to see a single individual lose their life. But that being said, to be under significantly that high mark shows that the president did everything in his power and help to make this number as low as humanly possible,” She concluded.
Lizza couldn’t handle this answer and wanted an actual number of dead Americans. So he asked it again. McEnany having already answered it with flying colors started to reframe the question to expand and was quickly interrupted by Lizza who was upset that he was not getting a specific number of dead Americans. But McEnany was not about to put up with his ridiculous question.
“I answered your question once, but if you ask it twice it doesn’t make it any better of a question,” McEnany shot back. “So I’ll respond in kind, I’ve given you one answer, I’ll continue to extrapolate upon that. The president always listens to the science…This president made the right choice, it was a delicate balance, and he did it exactly as he should, guided by data, and we are far below 2.2 million dead Americans because of the actions of President Trump,” she said done with Lizza’s B.S.

McEnany handles the MSM like a pro. She answered Lizza’s question without giving him a number of dead Americans. Lizza was clearly trying to undermine the president’s efforts in order to make him seem callous with a number of Americans that would be considered an acceptable loss. The MSM would have crucified Trump had McEnany given the press an actual number. It looks like Trump picked a good one this time.
As much as I esteem Sarah in her role as Press Secretary, I think that Ms. McEnany may have surpassed her. Sorry, Sarah. JMO
