Trump's new press secretary called his comments 'racist' and 'hateful' in 2015 and described him as a 'sideshow'
In 2015, Kayleigh McEnany, President Donald Trump's newly-installed White House press secretary, called Trump a "racist" and said he made "derogatory" and "hateful" comments about Mexican immigrants, CNN reported.
McEnany is one of several people in Trump's orbit who attacked him, called him an authoritarian, and said he was unfit for office before joining his ranks.Before Kayleigh McEnany, President Donald Trump's newly-installed White House press secretary, became one of Trump's most aggressive defenders, she thought he was "a progressive" who made "racist" comments about Mexican immigrants.
McEnany argued that "mainstream Republican[s]" don't want to deport undocumented immigrants, a process she said is "not the American way," and that they instead support "some path to citizenship." "I don't want to claim this guy," she added. "Donald Trump, if we're going to be honest, is a progressive. He supports eminent domain. He supported tax increases before. He's donated $300,000 to Democratic candidates. So, the fact that the Republican Party is now having to claim him, is both unfortunate, and to me, inauthentic. Because this is not a true Republican candidate. And the fact that he's being portrayed as such in media is troublesome and not accurate.
When asked whether he was advocating for sexual assault, McEnany disagreed, saying, "He said he starts to kiss a woman and then they let him do X, Y, or Z. That implies consent."produced at Trump Tower that many compared to state-sponsored TV.
