Trump campaign names Hogan Gidley as new press secretary

The Trump campaign has named Hogan Gidley as its new press secretary, replacing Kayleigh McEnany, who became the White House press secretary in April. Gidley is currently the principal deputy press secretary at the White House.

"Hogan Gidley has been at the President's side for three years and now he joins the fight to re-elect him," campaign manager Brad Parscale said in a statement. "He is a talented advocate and defender of the President and his policies and is never afraid to go into battle with hostile reporters and television hosts. Hogan is a great addition to the team and makes us even stronger."

President Trump on Tuesday tweeted praise of Gidley, calling him a "strong, loyal and trusted member of the team." Mr. Trump said Gidley would be leaving the White House on July 1. Prior to working at the White House, Gidley was a Republican consultant and served as a contributor to CBS News.

Gidley's move to the campaign was announced after the president held his first campaign rally since March in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday. The rally had a lower than expected attendance.

Not with his campaign. She went from campaign to White House, this guy went from White House to campaign.

Wasn't McINANEy lying well enough?

I thought she lied superlatively and made a pretty good Minister of Propaganda for Hair Furor.

Has Predator Grump found a superlative decepticon to whitewash his excrement, or should I say, omni-directional excretions?

We shall see. How many Pinocchios will the new spinner get?

As far as I could tell, she advanced the administration’s lies with full confidence and zeal. What’s Trump’s beef with her?

Perish the thought, but I'm sure he hit on her. He's a perv and she's very attractive and young.

Melania just turned 50. While that's not a big deal for normal people, sexists like Trump will see it as a sign of getting old, even though he's 24 years older.
