I don’t really know much about her (going on an evening google hunt) but listening to her speech earlier and how she handled the press I really like her confidence/bluntness to some of the questions answered.

No flip flopping with her answers like our UK politicians.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on her? Is she well liked?

Surely that is her job though - to act as spokesperson for the president and say what the Trump administration want her to say. If she starts going off piste with an alternative view, she won't last very long in the job.

Well yes, as an administration employee I expect her to follow the party line.

But I would also expect her to be briefed well enough, and smart enough to actually answer the questions people ask that pertain to the administrations initiatives. As someone on the inside of the administration, and as spokesperson, they should be well equipped to answer the press questions thoroughly whilst also keeping to the agreed party narrative. Just insulting people who ask questions that are difficult is not doing your job IMO.

You are falling for the age old trick of populism, it's easy to for her while the audience is chosen and under complete control. Any real journalist has been barred from the press briefings and been replaced by unqualified influencers and bedroom broadcasters.

This is what you are cheering, the degradation of democracy and education. None of this is being sent to congress, everything is a controlled executive order.

America has trampled on its allies and you cheer, it's blamed the Ukraine for the war and you cheer, deported people who legally had the right to stay and you cheer, wages a trade war and you cheer despite the cost to normal people. I struggle with people like you because you are hell bent on burning everything decent for an ideology.

Damn right. Well said 👏

Bluntness is an attribute that can be admired if you risk rubbing powerful people the wrong way - not when you amplify their message.
