Trump's New Pick has a Dark Past

I want to ask you a policy question.

Mm-hmm.

Has the US stopped sharing intel with Ukraine?

I'll have to get back to you on that.

It's Ken Harbaugh with the MeidasTouch Network.

That is the new White House press secretary.

I understand first day on the job jitters.

We've all had them, but that was rough.

I sincerely hope that Katie Zacharia finds her footing.

The country needs someone behind that podium who can do the job, but I worry that what we're seeing here is one more indicator that the wheels are coming off the Trump bus.

He is finding it harder and harder to get people to follow him on his wheel-less bus off the cliff.

CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, rarely at a loss for words, was dumbfounded by what she saw at this supposed press conference.

Kaitlan, you've been in, into the room.

Uh, what do you think?

Um, Wolf, it was kind of bizarre.

Uh, I'm not really sure, Wolf, that I've ever been to a press briefing where there were only three questions in the briefing.

[laughs]

It was quite unusual, especially for the first press briefing, which, you know, was widely touted by the White House and announced by the President.

The administration, of course, is calling the briefing a triumph.

The White House website described it as a, "Powerful and commanding inaugural briefing," but no one's buying it.

And while I don't want to pile on, she had a bad first day at work.

Who hasn't? What I really want people to know about this new press secretary is not that she has trouble reading from a briefing book.

It's that she has enthusiastically amplified conspiracy theories like Pizzagate.

She has trampled on the Constitution.

Here's her Truth Social post, "Suspend habeas corpus," and she may have even lied about her legal qualifications.
