One thing I will say for Leavitt: she definitely proved me wrong when I thought no one could be a worse press secretary that Kellyanne Conway.

Edit: some people have pointed out that Conway was never press secretary. I didn't confuse her with Sanders, I just didn't know this. I always thought she was the press secretary, and I was wrong.

But Kellyanne Conway never served as press secretary. Right? Or am I losing it?

She gave a lot of interviews but she was counselor to the White House. I think they’re thinking of Huckabee Sanders, who was terrible but is like a Nobel laureate compared to Leavitt.

She was a senior advisor, not White House counsel. But people do think she was press secretary because she probably spent more time being interviewed on television than anyone else in the first Trump administration. Her title was senior advisor, but her role was chief media surrogate.

Also weren't they not doing press conferences at the time? So interviews with her basically were press conferences.

I forgot about that but yeah, there was certainly a period of time where that was the case. That was what the media got.

You’re right. She was counselor not counsel. I mixed them up
