McEnany Blasts Reporters for Asking About Trump’s Stance on the Confederate Flag Instead of Violence

During a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany fielded several questions about President Donald Trump’s stance on the Confederate flag.

But as she concluded her briefing, she lashed out reporters for not asking about a spike in shootings in cities around the country in recent weeks. 

“Finally, I would end with this: I was asked probably 12 questions about the Confederate flag. This president is focused on action. I’m a little dismayed that I didn’t receive one question on the deaths in this country this weekend,” McEnany said.

She continued, “I didn’t receive one question about New York City shootings doubling for the third straight week, and over the last seven days, shootings skyrocket by 142%. Not one question. I didn’t receive one question about five children who were killed.”

Cities around the country saw an uptick in gun violence over the Fourth of July weekend, which left several children dead.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance-Bottoms (D) addressed the violence in her city. She said, “Enough is enough.”
