I just get the sense that she is a pretty smart cookie and picks things up quickly; I do remember that comment but some did think back in january with china locking wuhan down, the flight restrictions etc... it might not spread like it has. People were surprised at the rate italy was hit. I guess the scientists knew it was inevitable, but that MERS outbreak only caused 5 cases in the uk. And Swine flu was not as deadly or widespread as predicted here either.
According to the medium website:
"Irrespective of your personal politics, it’s hard to argue that McEnany isn’t Trump’s most effective Press Secretary yet — especially when compared to her predecessors, like gaffe-prone Sean Spicer, or Stephanie Grisham and Sarah Huckabee-Sanders; both of whom were known for the infrequency at which they held press conferences.
McEnany is clearly a smart political operator. A Harvard graduate — who
for the likes of Adam Putnam and President George Bush while in college — she came to prominence in her late-20s, as a conservative CNN commentator. Despite
initial scepticism towards the now-President, McEnany showed prescient political instincts that others lacked; quickly
aboard the ‘Trump train’.
When watching McEnany give a press conference, it’s easy to see how she rose so quickly through the political ranks — she comes across as calm and level headed and is just a good public speaker in general. Compared to the perpetual angst of Sean Spicer or the rambling incoherence of Trump, McEnany is confident; comfortably spinning the President’s words, while carefully selecting
and
to back up her arguments. Perhaps she “
” because she also scares them.
... Kayleigh McEnany, however, presents an unnerving glimpse into what it would be like to combine Trump’s damaging policies and worldview with the oratorical skills of a good political operator; creating a horrifying hybrid that could deliver on Trump’s worst desires. "
I probably got my timing wrong
