Newly appointed White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany held her first briefing on Friday.

“I will never lie to you. You have my word on that,” McEnany said in a response to a reporter’s question near the start of the briefing.

McEnany took over last month from Stephanie Grisham, who never held a briefing. And Friday’s briefing was the first by a press secretary in more than a year.

"We will not see diseases like the coronavirus come here, we will not see terrorism, and isn't that refreshing when contrasting it with the awful presidency of Barack Obama?"

Kayleigh McEnany says that Trump saying the "very good people" line was just him being supportive of the First Amendment. So much for her pledge that "I will never lie to you."

“I’ll never lie to you,” says Kayleigh McEnany minutes before saying, “Jared Kushner has done a great job.”

.@presssec who moments before said she would never lie, says Donald John Trump has always been truthful about the sexual allegations against him. Previewing how the White House will deal with those many allegations going forward, she says, "asked and answered."

"The salacious, awful, and verifiably false allegations that were made against Justice Kavanaugh" — McEnany just lied, breaking the promise she made not to just minutes ago. The allegations against Kavanaugh were not verifiably false.
