McEnany: Biden’s denial of Trump’s COVID vaccine progress is ‘revisionist history’

President Biden spoke on the COVID pandemic during a prime-time address

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany joined FOX Business’ “Mornings with Maria” and provided insight into President Biden’s first public address to the American people on Thursday night arguing that the president's denial of the Trump administration's progress on coronavirus vaccines is "engaging in revisionist history."

They may or may not work, but I'm going to take that risk because it could save lives.’ And it did save lives, though some of that rollout happened on Biden's watch thanks to President Trump's early action.”
