Claim 3: “the White House on Monday tapped a mean Teen In Zara Fitting Room As New Press Secretary”
MISLEADING
The claim is based on a satirical article (indicated by the phrasing 'touting her overall cruelty' and the absurdity of the appointment). Other search results provide actual information about White House staff (Anna Kelly), confirming the claim is a joke/satire rather than a factual appointment.
