In her first press conference as the new spokesperson for US President Donald Trump, Kylie McNaney pledged to tell the truth and not lie to reporters, but she failed to deliver on her pledge after only 15 minutes.
Speaking at the White House press conference room, the new spokeswoman told reporters, "I will never lie to you ... I pledge to you that."
Makanani is the fourth official to hold the post since Trump's arrival in the White House in early 2017.
Her pledge not to lie indicates that she does not want to follow the lead of Sean Spicer and Sarah Sandraza, who preceded her for the post and was accused of lying and misleading journalists.
But the charges of lying not only stuck with the White House spokespersons, it also affected the president himself.
In a previous report, The Washington Post said that Trump has made 18,000 false or misleading allegations since he came to power.
The tension overwhelms the relationship between journalists and the US administration. Trump has consistently accused journalists of lying and deceiving the people.
And last week, journalists attacked aggressively after covering their proposal to inject the bodies of corona patients with sterilization materials, a proposal that has angered the scientific community in various countries.
Trump blamed the journalists for his criticism, saying he was only making fun and that the media had put his words out of context.
This was the first press conference for a White House press secretary since the first half of 2019, and former spokeswoman Stephanie Gresham had not held any news conference.
The lie test,
but the irony did not stop at exposing the new speaker to those who preceded her and perhaps to the president himself, but rather that she lied after only 15 minutes of this pledge, according to the American Fox Media website.
Earlier, Trump addressed Tara Reed's allegations that his opponent, Joe Biden, had sexually assaulted her. He said that the charges are more credible than the charges brought against Supreme Court Judge Bert Cavanaugh during the confirmation hearings for his appointment to the post.
When asked to speak on Trump's new White House spokeswoman, she said the allegations against Cavanaugh were false, and an attempt to abort justice.
But the multiple charges against Kavanaugh have proven to be credible, according to an investigation published by The New York Times last fall, which means that the new spokesperson lied about this, according to Media Fox.
This was not the only lie to Makanani during her press conference. The site stated that it had lied in its comment on the course of the investigation with former security adviser Michael Flynn.
