Coronavirus outbreak: White House press secretary receives backlash over claims reporters ‘desperately’ want churches to stay closed

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Friday was questioned numerous times about the “mixed messaging” from the Trump administration after U.S. President Donald Trump urged governors to reopen places of worship this weekend or he would “override” them. McEnany commented to media in the room pressing for answers regarding Trump’s remarks, “Boy, it’s interesting to be in a room that desperately wants to seem to see these churches and houses of worship stay closed.”
