      Damn you beat me to it. It wasn’t the lying or being a complete psychophant that got her ousted in 0.5 muches…it was a poor performance of the lies.

        Did you just coin a new portmanteau,

        Psychopath + Sycophant = Psychophant?

        I love it, and this administration is filled with opportunities to use it.

    Trump did not initially think Zacharia’s performance at her first press briefing was as bad as some of his advisers had, two sources familiar with the discussions said. However, her interviews that followed — specifically her Thursday night appearance on Fox News with Sean Hannity — and conversations he subsequently had with his allies convinced him that it was untenable for her to remain in the role, they added.

    Lol. Forgot to blow Hannity. Even Spicer knew that much.

    I’m amazed they even considered a woman. Pretty much every other female appointment has stepped down or been fired. At least they’re consistent in they’re misogyny.

    But he made clear he did not believe Zacharia was suited to speak on his behalf as the government’s top spokesperson.

    “Maybe it’s not for her,” he conceded.

    Super-clear. Thanks CNN
