These anti-Trump reporters are so predictable. For all the kids out there watching: this is how you prepare for a press briefing. Anticipate the arguments of your adversary, do your research, then destroy the other side with facts. Textbook.

She’s really forcing real news on to the media. Job well done!

[flcowboydc]

Why not ask about the hate groups that don't wear a mask?

[moontainbew]

i just sadly wish she could go on and even get a little rougher with these questions. She is so great to listen to. She does her job so perfectly and handles herself more than i would :) great job!

[joanncoleman]

Reporters who continue to yell questions after the person is finished and leaving should be banned from news conferences forever.

She’s such a Rock Star! AND they can’t stand it. 😂

[kevinkelly]

Every time I see her in a sleeveless dress I am reminded by how much I support the right to bare arms!

[carolhenke]

These reporters ask the same questions that she already answered...do they not listen? 🤬

[pebmets]

Presidents should not be presenting critical policies through twitter. The only reason he does it is because he does not have to answer questions.

[tinomacari]

Thank you Kaleigh you are like a breath of fresh air with your fairness .

[ambertrask]

So happy to have a president who cares about our children. I agree with schools opening too and excited to see us move in that direction 😀

[bradleykofoed]

Freedom..We have the right to decide for ourselves to wear masks or not. We aware of others and our own families so we do wear masks to protect all. The GUIDELINES are just that. We follow them as good citizens.

[BunnyLang]

170, 000 is considered a huge increase in jobs, but 130, 000 deaths is nothing. Please explain.

[livinlovinlife]

Those who are in control are out of control and out of touch with reality.

[mbarry]

By far the best Press Secretary in my lifetime the worst being Ari Fleischer.

So Trump is pushing to reopen schools, but how is he going to guarantee the safety of children, teachers staff? A lot of classrooms have overfilled classrooms, how can he guarantee social distancing? Children aren't mature enough to contain themselves from touching each other, what guidelines are in place to ensure kids are washing their hands, classrooms are being sanitized, etc? Teachers are already purchasing school supplies for their own classrooms due to lack of funding, so will teachers have to come out of their own pockets for PPE now? If one child catches the coronavirus, will they shut down the school and do contact tracing? How will you keep older teachers from catching the virus? Will they be temperature testing each child as they come into school? These are questions Trump nor Kayleigh have yet to answer which is the reason why schools shouldn't be reopened until we have a vaccine or our numbers decrease significantly.

Great liar like her boss. Both are hell

[judycassel]

Thank You Kayleigh for not letting these rude people rule our news and to ruin our president Trump.Thank You Kayleigh for standing strong for our Nation.

[coppertop]

Hateful commenters, there is a life after this one depending how you conduct yourself in this one will greatly determine where you spend Eternity. Drop the hate learn to Love!

[tatriceshipp]

Lol he just said that he disagree's with the CDC on school guideline opening! So how is he on the same page? Oh nvm he threw her under the bus about his "stop testing" comments smh.
