I don’t know if Katie Zacharia is some kind of an October surprise, but she’s getting started in Washington with a real bang — as in her head against the podium. Her opening remarks were nervously read off a script and then Zacharia took three questions, from Breitbart, Fox News and the Daily Mail before she left the stage.

It gets worse, if you can believe it. Zacharia claims to be an attorney but there is no evidence of her ever passing a bar exam in any of the 50 states.

Zacharia is doing the impossible, she’s making Karoline Leavitt look good.
I thought it was pretty amazing when Jenna Ellis pitched herself as a constitutional expert, when in fact she had been a traffic tickets lawyer, but at least she was licensed to practice somewhere. Zacharia is not. It will be interesting watching her wriggle out of this one.
Will she outlive Anthony Scaramucci? And I can’t wait for Jen Psaki to chime in, since she actually did the job of White House Press Secretary.
I read something about her passing the bar in China! Like this person could master Mandarin enough for that, not to mention the legal system is probably vastly different in China, I would imagine.
On second thought, she is probably an Einstein person, like Melania!
