Joe Rogan lit up Twitter with a comparison of former White House press secretaries Jen Psaki and Kayleigh McEnany who served at the podium when Donald Trump was in the White House — and guess which one he likened to Michael Jordan?
Speaking with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on a Saturday episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan examined the differences in style and substance between Psaki and McEnany.

“When Jen Psaki said these vaccines are approved by the FDA, which is the gold standard, that was a lie,” he stated. “They weren’t approved. This was not true. They had an emergency use authorization. They weren’t approved.”
“But she was a propagandist…” Rogan continued. “The hard questions were all by Peter Doocy from FOX News. He’s the only guy, like, pushing back against her. And she just f**king flat out lied and not just one occasion, multiple occasions.”
With Karine Jean-Pierre now facing Doocy and the rest of the press, it seems like a lifetime ago that Jen Psaki stood in her place, though, amazingly, it’s only been a little over three months.
Lest America forget, Rogan is correct. Psaki was frequently called out for not being completely honest about a number of issues.

In fact, as American Wire reported, for her role in helping to bury the Hunter Biden laptop story, Psaki was named along with Dr. Anthony Fauci and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in a lawsuit brought by two Republican states that accuse the former Press Sec of “of having ‘pressured and colluded’ with Big Tech companies to suppress information on topics like COVID and Hunter Biden’s laptop.”

In contrast, stated Rogan, Kayleigh McEnany was “a f**king assassin.”
“The only one who’s good at it– that girl McEnany, what’s her name? Kayleigh McEnany, the one who worked for Trump,” he said. “That lady was a f**king assassin. That lady had like binders, with footnotes. And anyone say something she’d be like, ‘That’s interesting, because actually CNN said this.’ And she would like quote it back to them and stuff it in there face.”
“That lady was the best ever at that job,” he declared. “She’s the f**king Michael Jordan of White House press secretaries.”
On Twitter, Rogan’s assessment was cheered, with users recalling their favorite McEnany moments.
“I would so agree with him,” wrote one user. “I loved when she had video proof of what they said and played the video montage of it.”

It was an epic moment, for sure. But as BizPac Review reported throughout her tenure, McEnany had a lot of mic-drop moments.

“Yep,” tweeted a McEnany fan who captured the prevailing sentiments, “she was a boss.”
Yep she was a boss.
