Trump’s new press secretary Katie Zacharia is so bad she doesn’t even know what the Daily Mail is

It’s been a rough first week for Donald Trump’s latest hand-picked, bleached blonde Press Secretary.

Katie Zacharia came out of the gates firing on no cylinders, stumbling through an awkwardly pre-written speech that she couldn’t deliver without reading word-for-word, avoiding eye contact at all costs.

Things went so poorly, the White House decided it was a good idea to prop Katie up with some good press on their home network, Fox News.

It might’ve made things worse.

oh my god this interview was a disaster for Zacharia. I’ve never seen Hannity do someone who works for Trump like this https://t.co/osDWNgZ8Hw

Her most egregious answer of the session came when she was asked about only engaging with conservative media outlets.

Zacharia: They have said I only took questions from conservative outlets. However, The Daily Mail is not known to be a conservative outlet or friendly to conservatives https://t.co/55lRSfGUQE

‘I took several questions. They’ve said I only took questions from conservative outlets. However the Daily Mail is not known to be a conservative outlet or to be friendly to conservatives so I do challenge that narrative.’

Absolutely hatstand. And for those out there with strong stomachs, here is the entire appearance:

I have a feeling Donald Trump called Sean Hannity and told him to assassinate her.

And he did.

This is the entire interview with the soon to be fired Katie Zacharia. It’s worth it. https://t.co/lBBkGcM7vO

The replies had a field day picking apart her disastrous follow-up to her disastrous debut.
