Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany wants President Joe Biden to be grilled at his upcoming press conference.
âIt is incredible what the Biden White House is able to get away with,â McEnany told Fox Newsâs Sean Hannity on Monday evening.
She was touching on Biden tripping up the stairs on Air Force One and former President Donald Trumpâs slow descent down a ramp at West Point in June 2020. Trumpâs moment sparked questions over his health. After Bidenâs moment, Biden White House officials said it was âvery windyâ outside.
McEnany then expressed that she is âhopefulâ for Bidenâs first formal press conference since taking office, which will be on Thursday.
âWeâll see, but the press needs to ask these really hard questions of him,â she said.
The former White House press secretary continued, âAnd Iâm not just saying, you know, âWhat are your thoughts on the border?â Thatâs not a sufficient checking of the box question. They need to ask him, âYou say you blame this on Trump, explain to me specifically how this is Trumpâs fault when, in fact, numbers came down when he took historic immigration action in 2019. And theyâve gone up, and theyâre wearing Biden t-shirts, flying Biden flags.â
âHe needs to be confronted that directly and that specifically,â she added.
Watch McEnanyâs interview below:
McEnany previously called it âconfoundingâ that Bidenâs upcoming press conference was announced over a week in advance, as IJR reported on.
âItâs extraordinary that he hasnât taken questions so far,â McEnany said on Fox Newsâ âOutnumberedâ on March 17.
While Biden has taken questions at a town hall event and during interviews, he has not held a formal press conference yet. Thursday will be his first as president.
