She does this all the time when she can't answer basic questions. She reminds me of the spoiled brats who could not get their way so would take their bat and ball and go home.

She did this after answering 12 or so questions.

She's a show-woman. She likes to make a scene. Why do you constantly have to come up with ridiculous criticism that is off-point? Why can't it be a substantive conversation?

She commented on the questions. Very seldom does she ever answer a question.
What substantive conversation you want to have, her background?

There's a really cool hack that I once read about, maybe even in the DDF hacks thread: the line under the video is not just a decoration, as everyone thinks. It's really a status bar, and if you click your mouse on it and drag it, you can easily skip to the last minute.

Cool Stuff!!

That is fair criticism. But it has nothing to do with he mic-drop ending.

Do you understand how press conferences work. She gets to give her spin for as long as she wants. The reporters then ask the questions, NOT her. She defend Trump so she pulls these stunts.

It is part of it. She does that all the time to try and deflect from not answering questions. It seems to work on some since this is the only part they want you to watch.

why is this a stunt? Wouldn’t you want to ask the press secretary what the story is in nyc with all these shootings if you were there? That’s a lot of shooting in one weekend.

When the main thing consuming this country is tied to racism, no.
One of the main stories was Trump calling the Bubba story a hoax with nothing to back it up. She could not answer that.
If she is so worried about people dying why didn't she bring up the virus that is getting out of control again. We are at 130k dead!!!
Not sure how many press conferences you have watched but this is a common stunt she pulls.

Kayleigh McEnany always prepares these tricks which gave her a reputation for interesting, mic-drop style press releases.

I had an idea of a gag for her, would love to contact her with the suggestion (although that's probably impossible, and may be too late now):

She should deliver a press conference, and when it comes time to take questions, she should take out a paper with the list of questions that the reporters asked Joe Biden at his press conference last week. She should say, "since this is what you are interested in knowing, I'm going to consider as though you asked them, and I'll give you President Trump's answer on them. So CBS wanted to know what keeps the president up at night, the answer is..."

And then she should not take any more questions...

Who knows how to post a link to the press secretaries press conference today ? She ended her press conference bashing the journalists in the audience for not asking a single question about all the shootings this past weekend and instead focused on questions about the confederate flag. And then walked off 🎤✋

How can any true American defend the Confederate battle flag?

Don't listen to what the presidents says. Listen to how I twist myself into a pretzel trying to explain what he said.

This is way too long an argument to have right now and I don’t necessarily think the flag deserves defending but I don’t think it’s fair to call into question someone’s patriotism for defending a symbol of a movement that they believe in (and no, the war was not just about slavery. That was part of it but not all of it. Some of the things they fought for were very American though we don’t like to talk about it.)

Please don’t compare this to a swastika. That would be intellectually dishonest.
