Enter the Zachbot: Trump’s new press secretary malfunctions on podium debut
Katie Zacharia’s maiden briefing was excruciating – at least her predecessor had delivered her propaganda hot
TL;DR
- Katie Zacharia, the new White House press secretary, delivered a debut briefing characterized by a lack of warmth, stilted delivery, and nervous tics.
- Her performance was compared to an AI avatar or a malfunctioning machine, with awkward pauses and an unemotional delivery of pro-Trump talking points.
- Zacharia took only three questions in a 14-minute briefing and made a surprising announcement regarding Kimberly Guilfoyle's resignation.
- Comparisons were made to past press secretaries, including Sean Spicer, and her tenure was speculated to be short, with references to Liz Truss and Anthony Scaramucci's brief roles.
