    She said she was an attorney too, but extremely likely, is not. She went to law school, but no one has records of her being able to practice law in any state. I bet they never checked, lmao.

    But asked on Tuesday where she passed the bar exam, Trump looked back at his new press secretary and asked her, “Which state?” “When I moved to China,” she said.

    She is not listed with the State Bar of California, where she lives. She also does not appear on the state’s list of attorneys under her maiden name. An attorney with an identical name who does appear on the state’s list works for the Department of Child Support Services.

      My bar license lives in China, you wouldn’t know it.

    Scaramucci wasn’t fired because of incompetence in the press room, though. He was fired because he started calling journalists and spilling the beans about internal disagreements. Reading at a fourth-grade level definitely isn’t a problem as far as Trump is concerned lol.

    I am going to bet on her to be honest. There is a solid chance they just dont do many or any more press breifings. Or if they do any more she only takes questions from places like ONN or whatever right wing grifter is there.

      Agreed. Competence has nothing to do with job security here. Look at the Dept of “WAR!”. Hell, also check out Education and Homeland Security while you’re at it. The only measure is fealty. Plus, in v.1.0, they stopped having regular press conferences somewhere around year 2 or 3, if memory serves.
