Kayleigh McEnany’s unbelievably bad prediction about Covid from a year ago resurfaces

Kayleigh McEnany, former press secretary for Donald Trump, has been ridiculed online after footage resurfaced from last year of her claiming that America would not be affected by the coronavirus or terrorism.

In a tweet posted by The Daily Show, presented by comedian Trevor Noah, the account writes that McEnany “made a really bad COVID prediction” and “a bad terrorism prediction in the same sentence”.

McEnany told Fox Business over a year ago today: “We will not see diseases like the coronavirus come here. We will not see terrorism come here and isn’t that refreshing when contrasting it with the awful presidency of President Obama?”

The video then goes on to reveal the inaccuracy of McEnany’s claims, after America recorded a “heart-breaking” 500,000 deaths from COVID-19 on Monday.

On McEnany’s prediction on terrorism, the clip referenced the attack on the US Capitol in January by white supremacists and Trump supporters, which left five people dead.

The clip concluded with comments from former Fox News host Lou Dobbs on Barack Obama’s decision to host a press conference in a tan suit.

“Whoever talked him into going into a tan suit, they’re so desperate because of these low poll numbers, they’re willing to do anything,” he said.

Commenting on the video, Twitter users were quick to poke fun at the former press secretary’s past remarks:

So glad they’re gone

So happy none of these people have a job in Government or TV anymore. The BS they say is complete nonsense. https://t.co/HKQ7s8Gilg

Others were more concerned about Obama’s fashion sense as president:

I’m just as mad about that Thursday, August 28th 2014. Obama really thought he’d just show up in a tan suit. We will never fully recover from the emotional distress. Now my parents are getting divorced. Thanks Obama.

While one account had a unique suggestion for Fox News:

Oh for fox sake.. instead of listening to them I wish people would just dub over their voices with the fox sound from the song what does the fox say..

It would certainly make the broadcaster more entertaining.
