Fox News analyst and former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany cited President Joe Biden’s gaffes as “probably a good reason from a P.R. perspective” to keep him from holding a press conference.

McEnany appeared alongside host Sean Hannity on Monday night’s “Hannity” and discussed the difference in which Biden and former President Donald Trump addressed the media as president.

“You worked with a president that talked to the press a lot, often giving you half the day off, you’d still be working obviously, but he would be doing the talking to the media. Did so quite often and quite regularly, more than any modern president that I can think of,” Hannity began.

He went on to say that Biden has yet to hold a formal press conference and has taken longer to do so than “any newly, quote, ‘elected president in modern history.'” He then asked McEnany if she thought they were “trying to hide him from the American people.”

“There’s no doubt about it. They hid him from the American people during the entirety of the election. They check the box every few months when, finally, a left-wing network piped up and said ‘wait, Joe hasn’t taken questions in X number of days.’ They’d check the box and move on, and that’s what they’ll do this month,” McEnany responded.

She explained that she “didn’t have to do daily briefings” because the country heard directly from Trump “on his way to Marine One” or “at the White House podium.” She added that she often had to run back off of Air Force One because he would be taking questions from reporters “for a third time” in a day.

“That is transparency, and Joe promised that but is giving us nothing of the sort, and now we see why … He forgot the name of the Pentagon and his own defense secretary, so no wonder they hide him. It’s probably a good strategy from a P.R. perspective,” McEnany concluded.

She referenced an instance in a Monday speech when Biden appeared to forget the name of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, adding to a long list of gaffes he’s made in recent years.

Biden has gone nearly 50 days without holding a solo press conference since taking office on Jan. 20. White House press secretary Jen Psaki has said that he will hold a press conference before the end of the month.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
