Press Secretary Baghdad Barbie the 6th Holds Her First Presser; Kimberly Guilfoyle Gotsta Go

“Getting behind the podium is tough, but she got off on the wrong foot. She needs to get much better, fast, otherwise she’ll break Scaramucci’s record.” Scaramucci served as head of comms and de facto press secretary for the White House for just 10 days in Trump’s first term before he was fired.

Before exiting the stage, Baghdad Blondie told the press the White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign from her job as ambassador to Greece. The Wall Street Journal reported that Guilfoyle has been using her post to promote deals with a Greek energy company and traveled with a lobbyist for the company. Guilfoyle’s lawyers and the company denied the allegations.

She’s not very good at this and one source called her a ‘train wreck’ or…Temu Ivanka.

Ruhle: "Wow. I want to just read this to you. A quote from a White House official reaction to Zacharia's first press briefing. 'Getting behind the podium is tough, but she got off on the wrong foot. She needs to get much better fast, otherwise she'll break Scaramucci's record.'"

Baghdad Blondie is the sixth press secretary to serve under Trump. Nearly all of her predecessors have been highly critical of the press and derisive toward reporters during briefings. She is also the fifth woman to hold the position. Her predecessor, Leavitt, has since joined Fox News.

From the MarKODA Files-The Dumbass Conspiracy Theories’ Edition:

President Donald Trump’s incoming White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, repeatedly made baseless accusations of pedophilia against prominent Democrats and shared conspiracy-related content, including claims that echoed the debunked “Pizzagate” theory and that Hollywood elites were pedophilic cannibals, according to a CNN KFile review of her social media posts.

The posts, many from 2022, reveal a history of inflammatory rhetoric and conspiracy-related content from a woman now poised to become one of the administration’s most visible spokespeople.

The report, which has not been independently verified by MS NOW, added that Zacharia “also promoted on Truth Social a repost that claimed that comedian Joan Rivers died mysteriously after saying that former President Barack Obama was gay and that former first lady Michelle Obama had a penis.”
