White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnanys parents received millions of dollars in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, according to data released by the Small Business Administration this week.

The data was released Monday after government accountability experts and journalists, concerned about the programs lack of transparency and secrecy, pressured Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to make it publicly available.

McEnany Roofing, a commercial roofing company in Florida owned by McEnanys parents, Michael and Leanne McEnany, received somewhere between $12 million dollars from PPP.

Because the SBA will not release loan details, the exact figure could not be determined.

PPP was created by Congress as part of the CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act, and implemented by the executive branch, to assist small businesses in navigating the economic crisis brought on by coronavirus.

According to program rules, as long as the money is used to pay employees, and for rent and utilities, the government will forgive the entire loan.

McEnany Roofing appears to employ close to 30 people in its corporate offices, according to its website, and the number of total employees could not be determined.

According to the loan data, McEnany Roofing said it employs 141 people.

In an interview with Fox News back in April, McEnany noted that the program was designed to go to companies with 10 or fewer employees.

The vast majority, as I noted, 1 million of the 1.6 million loans that went out, were companies with 10 or fewer employees. That is what this program is designed to do, that is who it is helping, she told Ed Henry.

When asked about the lack of transparency of the program, she noted that Were concerned with getting money to people right now. I mean, look, were not concerned with cobbling a list together to please the media.

Because SBA did not release specific details about loan data, there was no immediate way to determine where the money McEnany Roofing received was spent.

Since the datas release, ethical questions raised by government watchdogs and journalists have exposed members of Congress, billionaires like Kanye West, and families of executive branch officials like Secretary Of Transportation Elaine Chao receiving PPP loans.

Kayleigh McEnany has previously criticized government assistance, saying in 2018 that, it was exactly right that welfare recipients should feel enough shame to motivate themselves off of government assistance according to Media Matters.

I feel like I could say I'd be okay with seeing her attacked by a weed-eater equipped with razor wire and I'd still fail to convey my disgust that people like this get to not only exist but spew their diarrhea.

everyone even slightly associated with this administration needs to be under investigation for the rest of their lives.
