Media amnesia

"Repeat a lie often and it can become the truth. That is what the media is evidently trying with its claim that Joe Biden shattered a glass ceiling by naming the first all female White House press team. “It is the first time all of the top aides tasked with speaking on behalf of an administration and shaping its message will be female,” declared the Washington Post. “It is the first time the entire senior White House communications team will be entirely female,” continued the Associated Press.

Besides the fact that an all female White House senior press team can be hardly called diverse, Americans do not have to leave their living rooms to see why this claim is false. Every top communication official representing President Trump and the White House on all their televisions is a woman. Kayleigh McEnany, a new mother, serves as White House press secretary. Alyssa Farah, who has served in some critical roles in the administration for more than three years, is the White House communications director. Stephanie Grisham is the spokeswoman and chief of staff with Melania Trump after her stint as White House press secretary.

Katie Miller serves as communications director for Vice President Mike Pence, and Kara Brooks serves as communications director for Karen Pence. These women are the most senior communications officials in charge of representing the White House. They were preceded by Hope Hicks, Sarah Sanders, and Mercedes Schlapp, who all served in higher ranking roles in different capacities in the government."
