Katie Zacharia Says This Is Her Biggest Lesson From Pathetic 5-Day WH Stint

Donald Trump's now-former White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, who managed to knock good ole Anthony Scaramucci out of his long-held position as the shortest-serving official in the Trump Administration, has broken her silence in an interview with her good friend at New York Post, Joel Pollack, to talk about the lessons she apparently learned during her five whole days in the Trump White House.

Pretty quickly, Pollack asked whether she regretted taking the job in the first place, and Zacharia said she was glad she showed her children how to be courageous.

"I’m proud I said yes, stood firm in what I believe, and kept supporting the president even when the circumstances weren’t ideal for me – showing my children what courage looks like in the face of criticism," the not-a-real-lawyer answered.

When it came to the 5-day stint she spent as a Trump Administration official, Zacharia said: "The biggest lessons are to stay true to your character, focus on the work in front of you, and refuse to be defined by the critics."

Zacharia's record-breakingly short tenure started with an embarrassing bang of a first press briefing, in which she steadily read off a paper in front of her, barely even glancing out at the gaggle, stuttered and stumbled her way through her words, and only took a grand total of 3 questions from the press before struggling even to get herself out the door.

Trump Just Officially Spit In Fox News' Face, Points MAGA Sheep To Rival Network

Over the last few weeks, President Donald Trump has grown increasingly upset with his once-beloved Fox News, as the right-wing network has failed to cover him and his recent incessant rallies at a frequency that he finds acceptable.

Earlier this month, his ire with the network grew so severe after Fox failed to cover his Ohio rally that he openly vowed to "stop watching" them altogether.

But it seems Donnie boy just couldn't stay away, as he rage-watched Fox and melted down in a multi-post temper tantrum on Truth Social just two days later.

Now he seems to be doing so yet again, as he took to his Truth Social platform at 6 a.m. to tell all of his MAGA sheep to steer clear of Fox and opt for the highly controversial Right Side Broadcasting Network instead, because they're evidently far more sycophantic.

"Fox spends more time defending Dumocrats, and putting on their views versus their Republican opponent, than at any time in the History of FoxNews. It’s ridiculous!" he raged on Truth Social. "FoxNews is trying too hard to be Politically Correct! Watch my big Kansas Rally today on RSBN. Great early coverage!"

RSBN was founded in 2015 and has been rife with disturbing controversy since its inception.
