I bet the Turnip administration is really upset about the person whose job it is to communicate with the press was really distracting and ineffective. Now they'll have to waste more time looking for another with just a few short weeks until midterms. I bet they really hate that their pick is a relative nobody and convenient scapegoat. They probably really wanted to field questions about inflation, or oil prices, or food prices, or investments into Russia, or intentionally hamstringing Ukraine, or the Epstein files, or any of the insane things Turnip has said at recent rallies about his own health, or the superficial qualities of his supporters, or the bang up job RFK is doing with measles, or their targeting of political rivals, or their waivering support in traditionally rock solid strong holds, or that list of ballroom doners WP just released. Yup, I bet they're really embarrassed. We should keep focusing on the card we picked, surely the magician wont use misdirection.

    In all fairness, if you know going to be asked tough questions, you want a propagandist that can gaslight on the spot, not a slackjaw going "DURRRRRRRRR, me laaaawwwwwyerrrrrrr HURRRRRR"

    Ah well, valuing loyalty > competence strikes again, shocking nobody. I might actually watch SNL this weekend, though.

    They underestimated how hard it is to find someone like Leavitt.
