Buy why? Isn't that her job to vet the staff? She is the Chief of Staff.


The reporting is that she didn't know about the hiring.

Does our President really seem like the kind of guy who needs to "check with others" before hiring people for his company?

Then why even bother with having a Chief of Staff? Why even bother with having a press secretary. We all know Trump loves sparring with the press directly, and he does a good job of it.

That was my argument for why I didn't think Trump should hire a press secretary...at least before midterms.

The more this story is discussed the more bizarre her origin story becomes. Her husband gets a bachelors degree then goes to China and cavalierly starts running a multi national PE firm and he happens to speak fluent mandarin. Then he returns to the US to pursue movie production? All traces of his extended family has been wiped from the internet.



I love this kind of stuff. I'm a big consumer of conspiracy theories.

But I'm also conflicted because she could just be super nervous as she gets used to the spotlight and maybe that's why she's so inarticulate. Her resume reeks of nepotism, though.

Karoline sort of invited hostility, but this poor lady is like a deer in headlights.

Zacharia confirms that no one at the White House asked her about whether she was actually an attorney:

Yes Nick Sortor, let's ignore that she was Deputy Chief of Staff for NY City council members, Regional Political Director under Obama admin, and Deputy Press Secretary for Biden before getting the job.

Kayleigh is attractive in a girl-next-door kind of way. Maybe even homecoming queen.

This one has future Onlyfans millionaire written all over her.

The same legacy media losers who are pretending to be OUTRAGED by @KatieZacharia not being an attorney, spent YEARS fawning over Karine Jean-Pierre

Whose ONLY “qualifications” were that she’s a gay black immigrant


Did she lie about being a gay black immigrant? I think the reason people are dunking on Zacharia is for her lying, or purposefully misleading, about being an attorney. Without that baggage her first press conference is barely even a story outside of diehard politicos.

Yup. Until she lied about the bar exam---"WHEN I went to China"---I thought her first day would be remembered for the Freudian slip in saying her "President" rather than her husband.

That was funny, but would have blown over. The lying about the bar exam and being an attorney will dog her the rest of her days as press secretary...however long that is.

Wow. That was probably not on her resume.

It’s a good thing she’s pretty.

You and Nick Sortor don't get it.

Not being an attorney is not the issue.

Pretending to be an attorney is the issue.

She is a DEI hire, just like KJP was a DEI hire.

KJP was hired because she's an immigrant lesbian black woman.

Katie Z was hired because she's a perky blond with gleaming white teeth.

She looks pretty hot in those boots, so her job standing in my book is

Fired
Not fired X





Maybe trump should make her official Air Force one stewardess if this press secretary thing goes bad
