Kayleigh McEnany Gets McEnanasty as She Slams Kamala Harris’s ‘Posturing’ Book: ‘Not Cut Out for the Job’

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany slammed Kamala Harris’s forthcoming book as an attempt at “posturing for 2028,” while trashing her on Tuesday.

McEnany, who served in the Trump administration from 2020 to 2021, appeared on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning to offer her take on the first excerpt from Harris’s new memoir, which was published by The Atlantic earlier in the day.

Speaking to Fox co-hosts Lawrence Jones, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade, McEnany was quick to debunk some of Harris’s claims, especially when it came to the border, which Harris describes in the book as “intractable for Democratic and Republican administrations alike.”

“Intractable, false. Bipartisan cooperation, false,” McEnany said. “Within the first 100 days of President Trump becoming president, he took executive action — Democrats didn’t work with him. This wasn’t an intractable problem — he solved it. He shut down people coming across the southern border, gotaways. He solved the problem with a pen. She could have advocated for the same.”

McEnany also claimed fromer President Joe Biden’s advisers had little confidence in Harris because they saw her “incompetence.”

“That’s why there were whispers around the West Wing about Pete Buttigieg being the actual successor,” she argued.

When Earhardt read off Harris’s complaint that Biden staffers failed to realize, “If she’s shining, he’s dimmed. None of them grasped that if I did well, he did well,” Jones asked, “When did she shine?” to laughter.

McEnany also contended that Harris’s failures had nothing to do with her gender.

“It’s not because she’s a woman,” she said. “It’s because she was given many problems she didn’t have the wherewithal to solve. It’s because she was given many opportunities on camera and we got viral embarrassment. And I don’t say that proudly, I would love for a female vice president to succeed, but she simply was not cut out for the job.”

LAWRENCE JONES: New information about Kamala new book and what took place in the Biden White House, this is what she had to say. This is a little piece of it: “I shouldered the blame for the border in an issue that had proved intractable for Democratic and Republican administrations alike, even the breathtaking cruelty of Trump’s family separation policy hadn’t deterred the desperate. It was an issue that absolutely demanded bipartisan cooperation and impossibly partisan most uncooperative time, no one around the president advocated, ‘Give her something, she can win with this.'” What is your reaction to that?

KAYLEIGH MCENANY: Intractable, false. Bipartisan cooperation, false. Within the first 100 days of President Trump becoming president, he took executive action — Democrats didn’t work with him. This wasn’t an intractable problem — he solved it. He shut down people coming across the southern border, gotaways. He solved the problem with a pen. She could have advocated for the same. And don’t tell me the the president’s staff did not advocate for you. In fact, the president’s staff saw your incompetence. That’s why there were whispers around the West Wing about Pete Buttigieg being the actual successor. There were stories about this, and not Kamala Harris. They saw incompetence. That is not a problem of the president. That is a problem that is deeply personal.

AINSLEY EARHARDT: Kayleigh, she writes about the staff and said, “Worse, I often learned the president’s staff was adding fuel to negative narratives that sprang up around me. One narrative that took a stubborn hold was that I had a chaotic office and unusually high staff turnover during my first year. They’re thinking was zero-sum. If she’s shining, he’s dimmed. None of them grasped that if I did well, he did well. That given the concerns about his age, my visible success as his vice president was vital. It would serve as a testament to his judgment in choosing me and reassuarance that if something happened, the country was in good hands. My success was important for him.”

JONES: When did she shine?

MCENANY: I’d love to know.

EARHARDT: It sounds like she is saying they liked it when she failed.

MCENANY: Right, not the case. Look, she had a 92% staff turnover rate, you referenced that, Lawrence, just a few moments ago. And you don’t hear these kind of leaks during the four years of President Trump about the vice president. You don’t hear this about J.D. Vance, this is unique to Kamala Harris. It’s not because she’s a woman. It’s because she was given many problems she didn’t have the wherewithal to solve. It’s because she was given many opportunities on camera and we got viral embarrassment. And I don’t say that proudly, I would love for a female vice president to succeed, but she simply was not cut out for the job. We all saw that on the campaign trail.

BRIAN KILMEADE: Embarrassing, blaming climate and great deals with Visa and Mexico. All that stuff is just a total waste and she’s mad that Joe Biden said that she was the border czar.

MCENANY: Yeah, but Brian, the reason she wrote this, this is posturing for 2028, that’s why she called her decision to support Joe Biden reckless. That’s why she talked about his ego. She knows JB Pritzker, Gavin Newsom are going to say, “Hey. you didn’t call for vice president to step down, you are responsible for Trump 2.0.”

JONES: Good to have you.

EARHARDT: Congratulations on the baby.
