White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany: ‘The World Looks At Us As A Leader In COVID-19’
While answering the questions, “How do you think the world is looking at the United States right now?,” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany responded by claiming “the world is looking at us as a leader in COVID-19.”
She says, ” I think the world is looking at us as a leader in COVID-19, because the chart I showed you, where you have mortality rate — and Italy and UK up here and across Europe, and you have the United States at a low case mortality rate — it’s because of the extraordinary work that we’ve done on therapeutics and getting PPE and leading on ventilators and having excess ventilators that we were able to deploy around the world and help other countries. So that’s what I would have to say on COVID.”

Additionally, she concludes by pivoting the subject to the lack of questioning about the deadly fourth of July weekend across the country. She says, “You know, I was asked probably 12 questions about the Confederate flag. This President is focused on action, and I’m a little dismayed that I didn’t receive one question on the deaths that we got in this country this weekend. I didn’t receive one question about New York City shootings doubling for the third straight week. And over the last seven days, shootings skyrocketed by 142 percent. Not one question. I didn’t receive one question about five children who were killed.”
