The former Trump White House press secretary made headlines last week afterwards calling out Stacey Abrams, Gov. of the Democratic Republic of Georgia, who claimed an unborn baby has no heartbeat after six weeks of pregnancy.

McEnany on Friday cited several reputable health bodies opposing the nominee, including the National Library of Medicine, the March of Dimes, Britain’s National Health Service and the Mayo Clinic.

“So all these institutions that the left loves, that [Dr. Anthony] Fauci … I would assume that we take a bow — we don’t think she’s credible anymore because Stacey Abrams, a crazy Democratic nominee, said something crazy,” McEnany said.

McEnany further noted that Planned Parenthood recently changed its website to conform to Abrams’ claim that there is no definitive heartbeat at six weeks’ gestation.

“Part of the embryo begins to show cardiac activity. It sounds like a heartbeat on an ultrasound, but it’s not a fully formed heart — it’s the earliest stage of heart development,” he says website said in reference to the development that occurs between five and six weeks.

However, a archive The same website in July states that “a very basic beating heart and circulatory system is developing.”

“Don’t you like how science changes after a Democrat like Stacey Abrams said something crazy?” McEnany tweeted.

GONE WITH THE SCIENCE!

Don’t you love how science changes after a Democrat like Stacey Abrams said something crazy?

Judge for yourself from all the reputable scientific institutions (until yesterday I guess) that refer to a 5-6 week heartbeat @OutnumberFNC ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/jdS9lkziYN

When McEnany became White House press secretary in April 2020 at age 31, she was one of the youngest to ever serve, but it was nonetheless well prepared for the role.

At this point in her life, she had been practicing in the White House Press Office when Dana Perino was press secretary for then-President George W. Bush.

That opportunity was followed by stints as a producer on the Fox News program Hannity & Colmes and The Mike Huckabee Show on radio. The latter gig saw her cross paths with Huckabee’s daughter, future White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.

Add to this the Floridian’s educational background, which includes a bachelor’s degree in international politics from Georgetown University and a law doctorate from Harvard Law School.

While enrolled in Georgetown, McEnany spent a year studying at Oxford University, about which she wrote in her book,For times like this‘ proved a valuable training ground for future White House press conferences.

At school, students had to write one or two 10-page papers a week and defend them in one-on-one “tutorials.” She said that during these sessions, a “highly qualified and well-educated academic” would spy on the students as they read their papers and challenge the ideas presented.

“The tutorial far dwarfed the press conference in terms of difficulty. Preparing for those tense encounters certainly shaped the way I prepared before stepping on the podium,” McEnany wrote.

she said In a December interview with the Western Journal, she saw part of her role as press secretary as being to counter these false media narratives about then-President Donald Trump while remaining true to her Christian faith.

“But that doesn’t mean we don’t have to be tough and accountable and be able to fight back, not with literal fights, but fight back with facts and substance and footnotes and accountability,” McEnany said.

She’s bought the same rigor as Underdog, and viewers clearly appreciate what she and the other co-hosts have to offer.
