New White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany is coming under criticism from some in the media after telling an ABC reporter to not refer to the president by his name only.
“To you, he’s not Trump, he’s President Trump!” wrote McEnany, who replaced Stephanie Grisham as press secretary earlier this month.
The statement included a tweet about coronavirus testing from ABC White House reporter Katherine Faulders.

The tweet drew blowback on social media primarily from a number of people on the left.
You called the last president "son." So maybe sit this one out. pic.twitter.com/YQYYM5guEH

Hey Kayleigh: “Nice and easy, nice and easy. Just relax. You’ve got a nasty tone.”

At the time, Barack Obama was 50. She was 24.
Yet she thought it okay to refer to him as "son." https://t.co/h4YfchzmDG
