McEnany Fires Back at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins During Press Briefing: ‘I Don’t Call on Activists’

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany participated in a heated exchange with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during her press briefing Friday.

Close to the end of her time at the podium, McEnany claimed President Donald Trump “was never given an orderly transition of power.”

She added, “His presidency was never accepted.”

McEnany noted before the election, former FBI agent Peter Strzok launched Crossfire Hurricane to “pursue baseless allegations about the president’s ties with Russia.”

She argued 70 Democratic lawmakers refused to attend his inauguration.

“In January of that year, you had President Obama have a ‘by the book’ meeting where they talked about the Logan Act, using that act to go after lieutenant general Michael Flynn just before the inauguration,” McEnany said.

She added, “Just before the inauguration you had Buzzfeed promoting and publishing this bogus Steele Dossier that’s been widely debunked.

McEnany pointed to what she believes is the “baseless Mueller investigation which searched for collusion, found none, and exonerated President Trump.”

As she began to leave the podium, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins continued to try and ask McEnany a question.

McEnany replied, “I don’t call on activists.”
