RNC's Kayleigh McEnany has a meltdown after former GOPer points out all the Americans killed by guns


RNC’s Kayleigh McEnany has a furious meltdown after former GOPer points out all the Americans killed by guns

Republican National Committee spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany had a furious meltdown on Saturday afternoon while trying to use the death a police officer to push for Donald Trump’s wall — only to have a former Republican point out the thousands of Americans who die due to gun violence.

Appearing on MSNBC with host Alex Witt, McEnany frantically pointed to the death of Newman Police Department Cpl. Ronil Singh, who was shot to death by an undocumented immigrant the day after Christmas, as evidence for the need for a multi-billion dollar wall at the border.

Asserting that Trump is concerned about the border, McEnany stated, “It’s being concerned about the citizens of our country, all of them. When you have Officer Ron Singh, who lost his life to an individual with known gang ties who should not have been in this country — we have to care about those victims.”

Jumping into the fray, ex-Republican Kurt Bardella — who worked for former GOP Rep. Darryl Issa (CA) — brought up a major factor that led to his departure from the party. “What about all the people who have been shot and murdered by white Americans in this country?” he asked. “Where is the concern for Homeland Security and for law enforcement when people are getting killed by guns every day? I don’t see Republicans doing anything about that.”

“You’re deflecting!” McEnany shouted over him as he continued to call her out.

“You’re proving my point, you don’t want to talk about the Americans who lost their lives,” the RNC spokesperson ranted during the crosstalk.

She really lost her cool and only made his point....

No, the RNC doesn't care about Americans who lose their lives everyday to gun violence....

They sure do care about a wall....

I saw her on MSNBC today and she interrupted incessantly and loudly. She wouldn't let the Democrats on the panel make their point. I don't know why they keep inviting that lying, rude asshole on air.



I hate that she misleads without anyone fact-checking her. She said we need a wall because "98% of heroin comes through the Southetn border."

But as Josh Stein, North Carolina’s Democratic attorney general, summarized the issue:

“Traffickers predominately bring heroin from Mexico but usually through legal points of entry. Drug dealers import illicit fentanyl from China usually by air. To effectively combat the opioid epidemic … there are better investments than a wall.”

Sadly, Josh Stein was not on the panel.
