Kayleigh McEnany Scoffs At Hakeem Jeffries’ Claim GOP Is ‘On The Run’

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany scoffed Monday at Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ claim that Republicans are “on the run” over high prices that began to soar during the previous Democratic administration.

Jeffries said on a virtual call Sunday that Republicans “are crashing the economy in real time” by allowing inflation and high prices to increase, though prices climbed to record highs during former President Joe Biden’s administration. McEnany argued on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” that Democrats are dealing with “internal turmoil” as they continue to struggle with messaging since losing the 2024 election.

“When says the GOP is on the run, I mean, we control both Houses of Congress. The GOP controls the presidency, 6-3 constitutionalists on the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, he is holding meetings last Friday, very unhappy meetings, where he has to berate members about their behavior, doesn’t seem like the red side’s on the run. The blue side seems to be having a little more internal turmoil,” McEnany said.

McEnany said the Democrats’ criticisms of high prices appeared to be “mildly effective” messaging until President Donald Trump’s congressional address, where Democrat Texas Rep. Al Green was kicked out of the House chamber for disrupting the speech and where Democrat lawmakers refused to applaud a 13-year-old cancer patient or angel mothers who lost their daughters at the hands of illegal immigrants.
