President Donald Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, earned brutally bad reviews Tuesday on her first day on the job.
Zacharia read from a statement touting the president’s accomplishments and popularity, then took only a handful of questions before leaving the press room. She did make news, announcing that the White House had asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as ambassador to Greece.
“Holy sh-- – Zacharia took 3 questions and then wrapped it up,” marveled journalist Aaron Rupar. “The whole press briefing was under 30 minutes. What a disaster ... This is an SNL cold open come to life. She can barely read.”
