A reporter in the White House press briefing room on Tuesday appeared to call White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany a “lying bitch” on live television.
The blink-and-you-miss-it moment happened as McEnany was trying to move on from Al Jazeera White House Correspondent Kimberly Halkett's pestering questions about mail-in voting.
“I think you’re a lying bitch,” Halkett can seemingly be heard saying as McEnany tried moved on to another question.

Halkett, on the other hand, claims what she actually said was, "Okay, you don't want to engage." Which, given that she was wearing a mask at the time and no one could read her lips, is what she apparently expects us to believe.
Thanks for asking @charliespiering ... there's a lot of misreporting out there about that briefing. The answer to your question is, I DID NOT. What I said was, "OKAY, YOU DON'T WANT TO ENGAGE." https://t.co/xmu5YR7gXr
