McEnany Says Psaki’s Constant Need to ‘Circle Back’ May Mean She’s Not Getting Much Access to Biden

“Circle back” has become one of Jen Psaki’s best-known catchphrases. The White House press secretary uses the term to mean “I’ll get back to you” whenever she’s asked a question she doesn’t have the answer to.

Former Trump White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany says her successor’s regular need to “circle back” while answering questions may be connected to a lack of access to President Biden.

“I’ve said before and I mean it, I wish Jen Psaki all the best. It is a very hard job but that being said, we took great pains in our administration to do hours and hours and hours of research beforehand, days sometimes,” McEnany said, speaking to Fox & Friends on Thursday.

Asked to comment on President Biden’s unprecedented lack of solo press conferences with the White House Press corps, McEnany suggested that the situation reminded her of the 2020 presidential campaign, with Biden making few press appearances, favouring pre-taped remarks instead.

“That was his strategy all the way along – hide in the basement, don’t talk to the American people, now get to the White House, hide in another figurative basement, his Oval Office, never going out to the Brady press briefing room,” McEnany complained.

The current atmosphere marks a stark contrast to the one under Trump, according to the former spokeswoman.
