PERSPECTIVES FROM THE WHITE HOUSE BRIEFING ROOM:
FEATURING JAY CARNEY AND DANA PERINO
Following the keynote address, Chris Wallace moderates an in-depth conversation with former White House Press Secretaries Jay Carney (2011-2014) and Dana Perino (2007-2009), as they reflect on their personal experiences serving as the primary spokesperson for Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush respectively, as well as their perspectives on the current Administration’s approach to the media. The duo brings unique insight – Carney as the only former White House beat reporter to also serve as a White House Press Secretary, and Perino as only the second female press secretary in U.S. history – and the first female Republican. |
