The press secretary is supposed to spin the news, not be the news.

On that most essential qualification, the new lead White House spokeswoman, Katie Zacharia, is struggling.

She has presented herself as a lawyer but does not meet the requirements in her home state to use that title. And at least one watchdog group has asked the State Bar of California to investigate.

    Trump can’t see anything beyond the fact that she looks like his daughter he wants to fuck and has definitely molested.

    Trump also appointed Coney-Barrett to the supreme Court. While she did pass the bar, she trialed one case.

    Canada had a Conservative Party leader who’s best lie was he was an insurance broker. He was also a US citizen.

    What kind of loser lies about being an insurance broker.

    She’s distracting everyone from being angry that the present fucked children. That’s her job.

    Katie Zacharia presented herself as a living human. She’s not.

    She appears to be entirely dead inside, painted orange with 1 mm of make-up, and animated with strings from Trump himself

    On her Linkedin page Zacharia lists herself as having worked as an “associate” in the international practice group at the Zhong Lun Law Firm in Beijing for nearly two years starting in 2011.

    It’s my theory that they put an intentionally bad candidate in place. People will talk about her rather than what she’s supposed to be talking about. She will be a distraction and then shit canned once they’re clear of midterms.

    After graduating from Pepperdine University law school,[9][10] Zacharia worked at the Zhong Lun Law Firm.[11][12]

    On October 13, 2026, a reporter asked where Zacharia passed the bar exam, and she replied, “When I moved to China.”[17] The bar exam in mainland China is reserved only for Chinese citizens, which Zacharia is not. Journalist Judd Legum said he could not find any evidence that Zacharia had passed the bar exam anywhere in the United States, a finding confirmed by The Washington Post. Despite there being no evidence that Zacharia had passed bar exams in any jurisdictions, Zacharia has repeatedly referred to herself as a lawyer during her appearances on Fox News and on her social media accounts.[17][18][10] On October 14, the Campaign for Accountability filed a complaint with the State Bar of California, asking that it investigate whether Zacharia had violated state law in so doing.[19]
