Trump’s press secretary just offered a nauseating response to those tapes of her trashing him

Donald Trump’s recently-installed press secretary, 31-year-old Kayleigh McEnany, is currently fighting to keep her cushy new job after footage of her trashing Trump on CNN and Fox News throughout 2015 began been circulating online.

In the tapes, which surfaced yesterday, McEnancy calls then-candidate Trump’s rhetoric “racist,” “hateful,” and “derogatory.” She calls Trump himself a “Republican in name only,” a “showman,” and a “sideshow.”

“This is not a true Republican candidate,” she says in one TV appearance. “And the fact that he’s being portrayed as such in media is troublesome and not accurate.”

“I don’t want to claim this guy,” she boasts in another.

Well, just a short while ago, McEnany, who has a long history of making disparaging remarks about LGBTQ people, held a press conference, during which she was directly asked about her anti-Trump comments.

“Well, I’m actually glad you asked that,” McEnancy told reporters, “because for about the first four weeks of the election, um, I was watching CNN, and I was naively believing some of the headlines that I saw on CNN.”

She then rambled on (and on) about how she eventually saw the light and now she “proudly supports this president, who I believe is one of the best presidents, if not the best president, this country will ever have!”

McEnancy then went on to say she “encourages” people digging up dirt from her past to instead look within themselves for any hypocrisies they may have committed in their own lives.

Asked whether she still believes the things she said in 2015, McEnancy dodged the question, replying, “I support this president. There is no questioning that. I’m so honored to work for him. Next question.”

McEnany Claims Watching CNN Brainwashed Her Into Believing Trump Was ‘Racist’ and ‘Hateful’ in 2015: WATCH

On Thursday, CNN’s K-File reported that newly appointed White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany called Donald Trump “racist” and “hateful” in 2015 before becoming a fierce advocate for the president.

During a White House briefing on Friday, PBS NewsHour reporter Yamiche Alcindor asked McEnany about her 2015 comments — which also included her saying that it was “unfortunate” and “inauthentic” to call Trump a Republican.

“I’m actually glad you asked that, because for about the first four weeks of the election, I was watching CNN, and I was naively believing some of the headlines that I saw on CNN,” McEnany responded. “I very quickly came around to supporting the president. In fact, CNN hired me. I was on many eight-on-one panels where I proudly supported this president, who I believe is one of the best presidents, if not the best president, this country will ever have. But I would encourage the individual who did that analysis of my past, rather than focusing on me, he really should be focused on sone of the very guests CNN chose to have on their network.”
