Kayleigh McEnany Dismisses Call for Trump Address Amid Nationwide Protests

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany is dismissing the calls for President Donald Trump to address the nation amid intensifying protests over the death of George Floyd while in the custody of the Minneapolis Police Department.

During an interview on “Fox & Friends” Monday, McEnany suggested there is no need for another statement since Trump has already discussed Floyd’s death.

“The president has addressed this repeatedly. So I looked, and going back to the first day he saw this video, he has addressed the absolutely horrific video of 👤George Floyd,” McEnany said.

She continued, “He has routinely addressed, in his remarks less than 48 hours ago, the issue of law and order in our streets. He’s issued several statements.”

McEnany went on to discuss the Antifa movement, arguing that an address from Trump will not quell anything.

“But here’s the thing, Ainsley. A national Oval Office address is not going to stop Antifa,” McEnany said. “What’s going to stop Antifa is action. And this president has committed to acting on this.”
