Kayleigh McEnany recently claimed that she never lied in her role as former President Donald Trump's White House press secretary — but a look at her tenure shows the opposite. 

"As a woman of faith, as a mother of baby Blake, as a person who meticulously prepared at some of the world's hardest institutions, I never lied. I sourced my information," McEnany told a crowd at a conservative summit on Sunday.

Shortly after her comments, critics pointed to many falsehoods the former spokeswoman spread during her time in Trump's White House, on topics ranging from COVID-19 to the 2020 election. 

The White House press secretary operates as the president's No. 1 spokesperson, and the job often involves defending the boss, and stretching the truth. For McEnany, that meant sticking up for Trump, who repeatedly made misleading and false statements.
