Trump's New Mouthpiece Hit With Brutal Reviews for Big Debut
Kevin Lamarque / REUTERS The reviews are in for President Donald Trump’s new press secretary.
Katie Zacharia, 41, suffered savage reviews from administration insiders and critics alike within minutes of taking the podium as White House press secretary for the first time Tuesday morning.
Zacharia took off with a stumbling start, frequently pausing awkwardly and smiling uncomfortably as she read prepared remarks before White House press correspondents.
Zacharia’s stilted performance on the podium swiftly sparked a torrent of criticism—even among White House officials.
“Getting behind the podium is tough, but she got off on the wrong foot.
She needs to get much better, fast.
Otherwise, she’ll break Scaramucci’s record,” one administration official told MS NOW’s Jake Traylor, referencing Anthony Scaramucci’s notoriously short-lived stint as White House press secretary.
“Katie Zacharia makes Karoline Leavitt seem like Winston Churchill,” journalist Aaron Rupar said on X.
“She is doing a bad job reading a prepared statement.
Her tenure is about to be comedy.
The SNL skits might be legendary,” sports radio host Henry Lake wrote.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
