Kayleigh McEnany fires back at Chicago mayor for calling her 'Karen'

YOU SWITCHED ON ME. THIS IS MY WIFE, THIS IS MY SISTER. THEY SWITCHED ON ME. JESSE: THE NEW SUPERSTAR AT THE PODIUM IS KEEPING HIM IN CHECK. >> CHRIS CUOMO SAID SHOW ME WHERE IT SAYS PROTESTERS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE PEACEFUL. I POINT HIM TO THE FIRST AMENDMENT WHERE IT SAYS HE HAS THE RIGHT TO FEASIBLE ASSEMBLY. HE SHOULD READ THE CONSTITUTION. YOU ARE ASKING THE WRONG QUESTION. THE RIGHT QUESTION IS -- CAN I ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. I ANSWERED IT ONCE. DID ANYONE TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO POSE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT MICHAEL FLYNN AND THE UNMASKING OF OBAMA’S SPOKESPERSON. I WAS ASKED PROBABLY 12 QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONFEDERATE FLAG. AND I AM DISMAYED I DIDN’T RECEIVE ONE QUESTION ON THE DEATHS WE HAD IN THE COUNTRY THIS WEEKEND. I NEVER RECEIVED ONE QUESTION ABOUT FIVE CHILDREN WHO WERE KILLED. >> THE PARENTS OUT THERE WERE NOT ALLOWED -- WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH MY KIDS? >> THE PRESIDENT SAID HE WANTS SCHOOLS TO OPEN. THE SCIENCE SHOULD NOT STAND IN THE WAY OF THIS. EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WESTERN WORLD IS DOING IT. SCIENCE IS ON OUR SIDE HERE. JESSE: JIM ACOSTA TOOK TO TWITTER TO TAKE A JAB AT KAYLEIGH MCENANY AND SAID THIS. SCIENCE SHOULD NOT STAND IN THE WAY OF THIS. TRY IT AGAIN. YOU TOOK THE WORDS OUT MUCH CONTEXT. JOINING ME TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT. KAYLEIGH MCENANY. EVERYBODY SAW WHAT YOU WERE SAYING. THE SCIENCE IS ON THE SIDE OF OPENING SCHOOLS AND THE SCIENCE SHOULDN’T GET IN THE WAY OF OPENING SCHOOLS BECAUSE SCIENCE SUPPORTS RE-OPENING SCHOOLS. BUT HE REFRAMES WHAT YOU SAID TO MAKE YOU LOOK BAD. DO YOU EVER JUST SEE HIM WALKING AROUND AND KIND OF STICK A FINGER IN HIS FACE AND SAY WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? >> I SEE HIM AROUND. HE’S QUITE NICE OFF CAMERA. THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT. IF I WAS TO SAY TO YOU RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NO UNIVERSE IN WHICH JIM ACOSTA ENGAGES IN FAKE NEWS AND YOU PUT UP ON YOUR CHRYON, JIM ACOSTA ENGAGES IN FAKE NEWS. BUT THAT’S WHAT JIM ACOSTA DID. THAT’S WHY HE CORRECTED HIS TWEET. JESSE: DR. HECKLE AND MR. HYDE SITUATION. THERE GUY CROSSING YOU IS JONATHAN CARR. HE RUNS THE WHITE HOUSE ASSOCIATION’S CORRESPONDENTS. HE DOESN’T LIKE THE WAY YOU RUN THE BRIEFING. HE WROTE THIS ANGRY COLUMN IN "THE WASHINGTON POST" SAYING YOU OPEN THE BRIEFING LIKE YOU ARE DOING A CABLE NEWS MONOLOGUE AND YOU ARE NOT DOING YOUR DUTY. YOU ARE NOT INFORMING THE PUBLIC. WHAT ELSE YOUR RESPONSE TO THAT? >> HE LIKES TO TALK ABOUT THE PUBLIC TRUST IN HIS OP-ED. I USE THE BRIEFING TO HIGHLIGHT THE ISSUES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THAT THEY DON’T ASK ABOUT. WHEN HAVE THEY ASKED ME ABOUT POLICE OFFICERS DYING IN THE STREETS. CHILDREN DIE IN DEMOCRACIES. WHEN HAVE THEY ASKED ABOUT THIS? THEY DON’T ASK ABOUT IT. IT’S WHY I LOOK OVER THE REPORTERS DIRECTLY AT THE CAMERA AND SPEAK TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BECAUSE THESE ISSUES AND THESE LIVES MATTER. NO ONE IS STOPPING HIM FROM TRYING TO BECOME PRESS SECRETARY IN A FUTURE ADMINISTRATION. JESSE: HE COULD HAVE BEEN PRESS SECRETARY FOR THE LAST ADMINISTRATION. IS HE ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO’S NICE WHEN THE CAMERAS GO OFF? >> JOHN IS NICE, TOO. A LOT OF THEM ARE NICE OFF THE CAMERA. JESSE: YOU HAVE BEEN GETTING INTO IT A LOT RECENTLY I GET THE CHICAGO MAYOR HATES YOU NOW. YOU SAID I GUESS SHE WASN’T DOING HER JOB. DOING HER JOB. >> IT’S D IT’S IT’S UNACCEPTABLE JESSE: SHE TWEETED "HEY, KAREN, WATCH YOUR MOUTH." I GUESS IT’S SLANG FOR A BOSSY MIDDLE AGED WHITE WOMAN. YOU DON’T LOOK MIDDLE AGED. WHAT’S YOUR RESPONSE TO THE MAYOR OF CHICAGO? >> I’M UPSET ABOUT THE VIOLENCE IN THE STREETS OF HER CITY. RIGHT NOW THIS WEEKEND WHAT WE’LL SEE HOPEFULLY NOT, BUT WHAT HAVE ROUTINELY SEEN ARE DOUBLE DIGIT NUMBERS OF PEOPLE DYING IN HER CITY. I UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH HURTS. THE PRESIDENT HAS WRITTEN HER A LETTER AND OFFERED HER HELP. AND SHE NEEDS TO TAKE IT. IT’S INEXCUSABLE WHEN CHILDREN DIE ON THE STREETS OF CHICAGO. MAYOR LIGHTFOOT SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON THAT. JESSE: HOMICIDES ARE SKYROCKETING. I THINK THEY ARE HAVING THE DEADLIEST YEAR IN 25 YEARS. IT’S NOT GOOD TO BE LIVING IN CHICAGO RIGHT NOW. THE PRESIDENT IT PIVOTING TO THE ECONOMY AFTER A ROUGH START TO THE SUMMER? WE ARE SEEING THINGS RE-OPEN. HE’S WEARING A MASK NOW. WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT MASKS IN THE NEXT SEGMENT. IN YOUR OPINION, LOOKING FORWARD TO AUGUST, THEN SEPTEMBER, WHAT IS THE WHITE HOUSE DOING IN ORDER TO BRING THIS COUNTRY BACK TO FULL THROTTLE. >> A LOT. THIS IS A JOBS PRESIDENT. WE ARE FOCUSING ON PHASE FOUR WHICH WILL BE A GREAT BILL IF THE DEMOCRATS COME TO THE TABLE. THE PAYROLL TAX HOLIDAY IS WHAT THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO SEE, AND MORE FUNDING FOR OUR SCHOOLS TO RE-OPEN. YOU LOOK AT THE VACCINE. YOU HAVE ONE VACCINE ENTERING PHASE THREE TRIALS. THIS PRESIDENT HAS BROKEN DOWN BARRIERS. IT’S A STARK CONTRAST TO DEMOCRATS WHO WANT TO LOCK OUR CHILDREN AWAY. THEY ARE IGNORING THE SCIENCE THAT SAYS IT’S PERFECTLY OKAY TO DO. JESSE: I THINK HE SINGLE AMERICAN WOULD BE THRILLED WITH THAT NEWS. KAYLEIGH MCENANY TANGLING WITH ALL SORTS OF CHARACTERS ALL OVER
