The White House officially has a new Press Secretary.
Meet Katie Zacharia.
Here’s how she kicked off her first press briefing:

We’re learning a lot about her, starting with her family.
She gave her husband an “amazing shoutout” and told us about her four kids, ages 12, 10, 8 and 6, and three of them are boys, which I presume means the 4th is a girl.
Watch here:

So what does everyone think?
MS NOW does not like her at all, which might be all you need to know. They trashed her in this article:
After Karoline Leavitt formally stepped down as White House press secretary, Donald Trump took quite a while before settling on her successor. In fact, the president went longer without a press secretary than any of his modern predecessors.
Last week, however, he finally announced his choice: Conservative commentator Katie Zacharia would take the reins, following a brief stint working with then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem earlier this year. A couple of days later, the president said on his social media platform that Zacharia’s first day at the White House podium would be Tuesday, Oct. 13.
But before Zacharia’s first briefing gets underway, it’s worth appreciating why she’s beginning her tenure with a credibility deficit that typical White House press secretaries haven’t had to deal with. CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski reported:
President Donald Trump’s incoming White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, repeatedly made baseless accusations of pedophilia against prominent Democrats and shared conspiracy-related content, including claims that echoed the debunked “Pizzagate” theory and that Hollywood elites were pedophilic cannibals, according to a CNN KFile review of her social media posts.
The posts, many from 2022, reveal a history of inflammatory rhetoric and conspiracy-related content from a woman now poised to become one of the administration’s most visible spokespeople.
The report, which has not been independently verified by MS NOW, added that Zacharia “also promoted on Truth Social a repost that claimed that comedian Joan Rivers died mysteriously after saying that former President Barack Obama was gay and that former first lady Michelle Obama had a penis.”
In a separate instance, the new White House press secretary, sounding very much like a QAnon adherent, wrote online, “The radical left Hollywood elitists are sick pedo cannibals. Change my mind.”

My honest take?
I’ll give it to you, because that’s what you expect from me and I don’t sugar coat things.
I bring the truth wherever I find it, good, bad or ugly.
I think she’s great on paper.
The Pizzagate stuff and Q stuff makes me like her even more. A lot more.
But in terms of filling that spot behind the podium?
I am not sure she has the chops to make it.
I hope I’m wrong, and I hope it’s just first-day jitters, but she doesn’t seem strong enough or quick enough or smart enough to deal with that room full of snakes.
Again, I hope I’m wrong and time will tell.
What did all of you think?
