McEnany incorrectly credits Trump with White House AIDS ribbon - POLITICO

The press secretary made the false assertion while defending the administration for its omission of LGBTQ people in a World AIDS Day statement.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Wednesday falsely attributed the genesis of the towering red ribbon displayed in front of the White House in honor of World AIDS Day to the Trump administration.

McEnany pointed to the two-story ribbon hung from the White House’s North Portico as part of a defense of the Trump administration’s omission of any reference to LGBTQ people in its official statement commemorating World AIDS Day.

The White House similarly excluded mentioning these LGBTQ groups in the previous three years under Trump.
