During her interview with Harris Faulkner, the press veteran discussed the events that transpired at the Capitol on Jan 6th as well as the present bias between herself and Biden’s Press Secretary Jen Psaki.
Fox News reports:
“I think at the beginning of the day, before everyone went to the rally, everyone was expecting peace,” McEnany recalled. “We had been to hundreds of rallies — I’ve probably been to hundreds at this point, certainly many dozens — and they were nothing but peaceful events, and we expected that day to be the same.”
She continued: “And then as those events transpired, it was disbelief, shock, somber, sad, horrified by the violence, and it was a very hard, difficult day in the White House, there is no doubt.”
…
McEnany explained difference in the way the mainstream media treats Psaki compared to its handling of the Trump administration.
“I’ll never forget watching one of the early press briefings where she was asked about Antifa riots and I believe she said that she hadn’t spoken to the president about that. They let her move on, whereas if I would have been asked that about violence on the other side of the aisle… that wouldn’t have been an answer that flew, nor should it have,” McEnany. “I think the standards are different but the American people are so smart, so wise, they see the difference.”
Weeks ago a financial disclosure report signaled McEnany would be joining Fox. However, at the time the network denied the former White House press sec. would be joining the Fox News family.
