On Tuesday, Fox News host Harris Faulkner announced that McEnany would join the “Fox family.” Later, a reporter asked Psaki during the daily White House press session if she would be willing to sit down with McEnany for an interview.
“Sure,” Psaki replied. “Now I’ve done ‘Fox News Sunday’ twice. I’m happy to go do various shows.”
Psaki added that he had interacted with McEnany in the past and that they were collegiate with each other despite their political differences.
“It simply came to our notice then [McEnany] a little, not well, “Psaki said.” I met her when we were both collaborating on CNN and we did a few shows (I don’t know how many) together. Like many Americans, we disagree on political issues, but we talk about our families, our spouses, sports, all sorts of things in the green room, and I certainly wish them all the best in their future endeavors. “
McEnany was a CNN contributor and spokesman for the Republican National Committee before starting the session as Trump’s press secretary in the spring of 2020.
She was a fierce advocate for Trump in his taxpayer-funded role, defending him from the podium by responding to the coronavirus pandemic, his withdrawal of peaceful protesters from Lafayette Square to take a picture, and his efforts to sow doubts about the outcome of the 2020 elections.
McEnany has made frequent appearances on Fox News over the past two years, including several on opinion programs in prime time, where he pushed unfounded claims about widespread election fraud.
