White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany wears a cross in her high-profile position. In an interview, she explained.
“I always wanted to be in politics and media but never really set out for that position. But it all fit together like a woven web because God had a path lined up for me, as he does for each and every person on earth,” McEnany said. “All you have to do is trust him, and follow his path, and pray, and he makes all the dots fit together. The very least I can do is wear the cross, the symbol of the very instrument he died on to save humanity, Jesus Christ.” She added, “Faith is the reason I’m here.”
A wife, mother, and conservative woman of faith, she also discussed what it is like serving in President Donald Trump’s administration. She gave her take on the press briefings and how her life has changed since she entered one of the most high profile positions in the United States.
