Former President Trump attacked Kayleigh McEnany, his former White House press secretary, after she offered advice on Fox News about how he can unite the Republican party.

“I would suggest that adopting a general election tone is what you do at this point, and here’s why I say this: This was actually a fairly good night for Joe Biden. When you look at our voter analysis, only 10 percent said I would not vote for Joe Biden if he’s the nominee. He won a plurality of voters who said he was too old; he won a majority of voters who were upset about the Gaza war,” McEnany said during Fox’s coverage of Tuesday night’s New Hampshire primary.

“If I’m Trump, I sit back and I exclusively focus on the general election. I take the posture of a presumptive nominee. I focus on, No. 1, uniting the party, and No. 2, winning the independents, which Nikki Haley won 55-39 percent. That’s what I would do,” she continued.

McEnany’s comments were first highlighted be Mediaite.

Trump lashed out at his former press secretary in a post on Truth Social.

“I don’t need any advice from RINO Kayleigh McEnany on Fox,” he said. “Just had a GIANT VICTORY over a badly failing candidate, ‘Birdbrain,’ and she’s telling me what I can do better. Save your advice for Nikki!”

Trump has attacked McEnany in the past, referring to her as “milktoast McEnany” after she spoke on Fox’s airwaves about polling showing positive results for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who has since dropped out of the GOP primary.
