McEnany Blasts Miles Taylor After He Reveals He Is ‘Anonymous’: He Is a ‘Liar and a Coward’

The White House is blasting former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) chief of staff, 👤Miles Taylor, after he revealed he anonymously penned a 2018 op-ed critical of President Donald Trump while he was in the administration.

After Taylor revealed that he was “Anonymous,” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said, “This low-level, disgruntled former staffer is a liar and a coward who chose anonymity over action and leaking over leading.”

“He was ineffective and incompetent during his time as DHS Chief of Staff,” she added.

Taylor worked for the Department of Homeland Security from 2017 to 2019.

In the 2018 op-ed published by The New York Times, he claimed he was part of a group of senior administration officials who were thwarting Trump’s worst instincts.

After the op-ed was published, he was widely referred to as “Anonymous,” since his identity was not disclosed by the Times.

The paper said it agreed to publish the op-ed anonymously “at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure.”
