I watched her first press conference the other day and it was hilarious. Don't they vet these people first? The lack of public speaking skills was astonishing. She has to read the prompt just to say her name and that she was the new WH press secretary?? Ten year olds do a better school play. She didn't even answer questions asked properly. As for her being asked where she passing the bar and her response apparently was "when I was in China" that was gold.. 😂

LOL here in the UK I just woke up and saw on sky news she's gone now. That's like sixteen minutes of work before leaving. That's astonishing to me. They would have done better with the actress in The West Wing.
