Journalists Caught Blatantly Lying About Kayleigh McEnany’s Comments On Opening Schools In The Fall, Immediately Get Called Out

CNN anchor Jake Tapper offered a rare defense of White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany after many members of the media, including his own network colleagues, spread a misleading quote from Thursday’s press briefing, according to Fox News.

Kayleigh McEnany, on behalf of President Trump, is a strong advocate for opening schools in the fall. She has quoted study after study to prove the science backs the President. The experts have come out and supported the idea of children being in school this fall.

This goes against everything the Democrats have been pushing during the pandemic. They drove their narrative of fear to enslave the minds of Americans. Fear will make people do stupid things, including stealing the youth and education of our children to make adults feel safer.

Since Press Secretary McEnany was a victim of liberal journalism, elitists deceptively editing her clip to make it look like the President and the Press Secretary, want schools open regardless of the science.

Stunning.
Jawdropping.
The White House @PressSec just called for schools to reopen, saying: “The science should not stand in the way of this.”https://t.co/AXanf2pp05 pic.twitter.com/zZ8mURlEB4

WH Press Secretary: “When he (Trump) says open, he means open– in full– kids being able to attend each and every day at their school,” McEnany told reporters at the press briefing. “The science should not stand in the way of this.”

“The science should not stand in the way of this,” @PressSec says of fully re-opening schools

These are just the tip of the iceberg. Any liberal journalist pounced at the option to deceptively edit Kayliegh’s quote to make her and the President look like they don’t care about the student, teacher, or parent safety. The truth should not stand in the way of “journalism.”

Kayleigh responds:

Case Study in Media Bias:

I said: “The science is very clear on this…the science is on our side here. We encourage our localities & states to just simply follow the science. Open our schools.”

But leave it to the media to deceptively suggest I was making the opposite point! https://t.co/vlxk3zRsgh

The debate on whether or not it is safe for kids to go to school has become a partisan issue a lot, like everything else surrounding the virus. There is one study out of Australia where they didn’t close down the schools even as late as March that tracked the transmission rate from students to teachers.

“No teacher or staff member contracted COVID-19 from any of the initial 18 cases. No teacher or staff member contracted COVID-19 from any of the initial school cases. One child from a primary school and one child from high school may have contracted COVID-19 from the initial cases at their schools.”

I have worked with kids in TitleI schools as well as some of the nation’s wealthiest students in private school, abuse is prevalent in both. Our kids need to be in a school where teachers and professionals can keep an eye out on these kids who have no one else to help them.

This virus has made our country selfish. I am not talking about the mask debate. It is the need to politicize every emergency so much that instead of unifying, we are ruining the futures of our children and our country for short term political gains.

Call your school districts and tell them you want kids in school. If not for your kids, do it for the kids that have no one to advocate for them.
