Katie Zacharia was as awkward as it gets in her first press briefing, and one White House insider predicted she won’t last if she keeps this up.

      I don’t even think it was quite that level. It came off to me as someone presenting for a a highschool group project that didn’t do any of the work, so they were forced to present. It genuinely seemed like the first time she ever read the info.

    By September 2025, Zacharia had worked as legal advisor for Fix California, a political organization; had served on the board of advisors at White Rose Resistance, an antiabortion advocacy group; and was a member of the Pepperdine University School of Law’s dean council. She had additionally served as director of development for special projects at Pepperdine University.

    Pepperdine University is a private research university affiliated with the Churches of Christ

    :-|

    Zacharia became deputy assistant secretary of homeland security for public affairs in February 2026. She announced her resignation the following month. According to CNN, Zacharia, who lived in California, told an associate that commuting to the Department of Homeland Security’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., was not sustainable. In June, Zacharia became a communications advisor to the Trump Media and Technology Group.

    Classic case of failing upwards.

    I think she just made the classic rookie mistake of swallowing a whole rat before the press conference; tail was probably still in her throat.

      From the Guardian today, who are calling her the Zachbot due to her flattened, AI-like portrayal of a human press secretary:

      How long can she last? Trump said soon after: “I thought she was very good.” But the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group, tweeted an image of the Zachbot beside a lettuce to evoke Liz Truss, who lasted only 49 days as British prime minister.

      And Anthony Scaramucci, who was Trump’s communications director for just 11 days, a period now known as “a Scaramucci”, tweeted: “The clock is running. Thus far 1/11th of a Scaramucci.”

      When the Mooch is giving you the Grim Reaper treatment, it might be time to self-terminate.

      The entire right wing press system has had that type for decades. Just look at basically every woman they put in front of a camera at Fox News.
