Outnumbered co-host Kayleigh McEnany discusses the allegations of Russian bounties and questionable reporting on the issue during the 2020 campaign.
Former White House Press Secretary and co-host of Outnumbered Kayleigh McEnany blasted reporters for putting forth a false narrative last year, after U.S. intelligence agencies began to backtrack on reports of Russian bounties being placed on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. McEnany said she cautioned reporters at the time that the intelligence was in question, but most of the mainstream media ran with the story anyway.
KAYLEIGH MCENANY: I was asked dozens and dozens of questions about the Russia bounties. I cautioned reporters on the first of the story came out and said look, do not be so quick to buy this New York Times story, this information is unverified, there are dissenting opinions in the intelligence community, do not run with this narrative, it’s just simply not true and not the case.
