Jake Tapper explains why he never booked Kayleigh McEnany for his show: She "lies the way that most people breathe."

CNN’s Jake Tapper said on Sunday that he would never book White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany because there’s “no value” to interviewing her since she “lies the way that most people breathe.”

“Well, there are some people that are so mendacious, I just wouldn’t put them on air,” Tapper said on Reliable Sources. “Kayleigh McEnany, I never booked her. Jason Miller from the Trump campaign, I would never book him. These are just people who tell lies the way that most people breathe. There is no value in that.”

The anchor of ‘The Lead‘ and ‘State of the Union‘ said Kellyanne Conway is “more of a filibusterer and a subject changer,” which differentiates her from McEnany who “tells lies all the time” and “can’t acknowledge reality.”

“So I’m just not going to put somebody like that on air,” Tapper said.
