Kayleigh McEnany says New York Times should hand back Pulitzer
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany responds to New York Times report on Russia bounty intelligence.
MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace referred to White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany as President Trump's "righthand spokesgal."
During Tuesday's coverage of the Russian bounty controversy dogging the White House, Wallace spoke with NBC News correspondent Keir Simmons, who had spoken with a spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin about the matter.
"You spoke to Vladimir Putin's righthand man, who sounded alarmingly similar to Donald Trump's righthand spokesgal," Wallace said. "Talk about the Russia reaction."
Simmons elaborated about his conversation with Dmitri Peskov, press secretary for the Kremlin, and echoed Wallace's description of him being Putin's "righthand man."

"Imagine the MSM fainting spells if a conservative like Rush Limbaugh had said the same about a Democrat spokeswoman? Or called Nicolle a 'spokesgal' for Biden?" Finkelstein wrote.
