Didn't see it but sounds like I didn't need to.
Kayleigh McEnany just made a thoroughly Trumpian debut
A White House press secretary held a briefing for the first time in more than 13 months Friday, with newcomer Kayleigh McEnany dusting off the old mainstay for at least one day.
And while the briefing carried promises of no lies and featured a relatively steady performance, the old, factually challenged mainstays of past briefings — and President Trump’s own commentary — were readily present.
At the start, McEnany said there would be more briefings than there have been for the past year-plus. The press secretary she replaced, Stephanie Grisham, went her entire tenure without holding even one. McEnany was haunted by her predecessors in more ways than one, though, as one of the early questions was about whether she would lie to the news media.
“I will never lie to you,” she said. “You have my word on that.”
What followed, though, didn’t exactly scream sudden truth or transparency from the White House press office.

...McEnany’s entire performance recalled that of her predecessors, in that she was effectively relaying claims that Trump has made — but claims that nonetheless exaggerate, make up or completely disregard the facts.
And by the end, McEnany served up a reminder about just who she intended to please with all of it.
“Everyone should watch the Fox News town hall with the president from 7 to 9 p.m. [on Sunday],” McEnany said. “It will be can’t-miss television much like the highly rated President Trump coronavirus task force briefings have been.”
Trump has repeatedly played up the ratings of his now-shelved coronavirus briefings, and there was his new press secretary with a message the boss will love — along with all the others that don’t exactly pass muster.
