Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany ran into a CNN anchor after calling her over a "terrible" tweet about Joe Biden.
Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany had an argument with a CNN reporter after appearing to mock President Joe Biden on Twitter.
Ms. McEnany highlighted one of Mr. Biden's comments during his City Hall event on CNN, where he suggested liking children more than people.
He made the comment while speaking to Anderson Cooper, who hosted the event, and suggested that he "would rather be home with the baby" than at town hall.
Ms. McEnany highlighted the comment on Twitter, writing: “Unsubscribe with a notable final quote from Joe Biden during his town hall tonight: 'Everyone knows I love children better than people. '“
Her tweet sparked a quick backlash, and many believed her post was a nod to QAnon, a far-right conspiracy group that claims the Democrats are a satanic pedophile ring.
CNN's Jake Tapper responded to the tweet, telling followers that a former White House colleague of Ms. McEnany told him her comment was "100 percent intended to excite the QAnon crowd".

A former Mike Pence employee also condemned Ms. McEnany's tweet, describing her comments as "dangerous" and "pathetic". "This is pathetic even by @ Kayleighmcenany standards," she wrote. "It's also dangerous given the conspiracy theories the #Trump movement has led, but you know Kayleigh already and you don't care." However, the former Trump press secretary denied that her tweet was any reference to the QAnon community, telling Mr Tapper that his source should include her name on the file if they are to make such claims. "I tweeted this insightful, bizarre quote from Joe Biden which underscores his terrible policy of freedom of choice against children that life has dehumanized (Mexico City politics, etc)," she wrote. "Cc: @jaketapper Your source should put their name on the file if they claim to know the intent of my tweets."
