Kayleigh McEnany of Fox News Lies that ‘All of Our Founding Fathers Were Against Slavery’

There is one unmistakably common characteristic of Donald Trump’s administration and particularly his press office. It was a festering morass of lies and liars. And no one did it better than his last press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany. Which is why she was so quickly hired by Fox News after Trump was booted from the White House.

Kayleigh McEnany

McEnany’s aversion to the truth has been a hallmark of her public life. Examples of her deliberate dishonesty are abundant. They run the gamut from falsely asserting that the the Mueller report was a “complete and total exoneration” of Trump, to supporting Trump’s “Big Lie” that there was “ample evidence of fraud” in the 2020 presidential election.

Now McEnany is aiming for disinformer immortality. On Tuesday’s episode of Outnumbered on Fox news, McEnany made this shockingly ignorant claim:

“The haters never take a day off from hating. That is clear. They never take a day off from getting facts wrong. We know most of our forefathers, all of our main Founding Fathers, were against slavery, recognized the evils of it.”

The segment began with McEnany bravely defending the 4th of July from “Democrats, left-wing activists, and even the media” who she said “smeared the all-American holiday.” Which of course, they didn’t do. However, her comment demonstrated the hate that she was trying to project on Democrats. You can’t call others “haters” while you’re lying about them “smearing” a patriotic holiday.

Even worse, McEnany appears to be totally unfamiliar with American history. While accusing the left of “getting facts wrong,” she takes a million mile detour from the factual world. The truth about America’s Founding Fathers may be difficult for her and others to admit, but it isn’t in dispute. Most of them were “owners” of enslaved men, women and children. And those who weren’t tolerated the practice in order to hold the newly formed union together.

This is typical of how Fox News warps reality to stuff their square racist peg into their round white supremacist hole. They simply don’t care about facts that conflict with their pre-determined narrative. And they obviously know that their audience doesn’t care either, or is too stupid to tell the difference. But you can count on this appeal to bigotry and ignorance to be featured throughout the coming midterm elections and into the next presidential cycle. It is the only thing they have to run on.

  1. So, is McEnany a liar? Or is she just abysmally G-D stupid? Or both? Yes, this IS a rhetorical question….

  2. The FACT is that ALL of the colonies were slave states when the Declaration was signed. In fact, slavery was the norm in the entire world too.

  3. “…Fox News warps reality to stuff their square racist peg into their round white supremacist hole”

    What kind of hole was that? Did we forget a letter here?
    Wasn’t that meant to be “a–hole”?
    “There, all better.” (Am all about that accuracy stuff.) /s

  4. But seriously, I don’t doubt the stupidity of McE-ninny, not for a moment! She is the epitome of the vapid, airhead blonde ~ which, as a natural blonde myself, I’ve long despised for the image projected onto any females with blonde hair. Funny that blonde GUYS didn’t get the same rap. (I am many things, but “airhead” has never been 1 of them.)
    But, can’t help but wonder if what we’re seeing here is the beginning of rewrite on that part of U.S. history books — you know, like they’re trying to do with “critical race theory”?
