Senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway defended President Donald Trump retweeting anunsubstantiated conspiracy theory tying billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s death to Bill Clinton.
What does her husband have to say about it? We are far more likely to get an honest assessment of any situation from him than this deranged gatekeeper…
She went on to say that any investigation of flights which trump took with Epstein were off-limits and unfair speculation prompted by his enemies in the lame-state media.
When “Fox News Sunday” host Bill Hemmer asked Conway about Trump’s retweet, the White House aide claimed Trump was just looking for looking for answers.
So Trump trusts the word of some random, unfunny comedian more than the head of his own DoJ? That actually makes some sense.
I can’t be bothered to actually watch KAC, but this seems to be a pretty lazy defense. It’s like she’s phoning it in. Where is the “we need to see those missing e-mails” to know what happened here spin??
Because usually she’s on the inside of the stories, so she knows how to spin it. This time, Trump’s not helpfully informing her of the whole truth, so she has to step on eggshells to avoid setting a trap around his guilt that she suspects, but doesn’t know what and to what extent he is.
The low isn’t new, it’s the out and proud lowness that seens new. We can thank extremely wealthy privileged white men and the Republican party for that, at least in part.
That’s a good point. She very gingerly talks about “some people very high up” and people “flying around with this monster on his island”, obviously knowing Trump was one of those people. So this is a non-defense defense, leaving Trump happily oblivious, while covering herself in the process.
Sure, Trump wants a full investigation, but only by his buddy Barr who will limit the investigation to anyone that leans to the left or supported Republicans that said bad things about Trump. It’s unlikely Conway knows the whole story, this is one that Trump won’t share and is hoping goes away though the sycophancy of his followers…and it probably will, just because they go along with everything he says no matter how vile. And, this spills into the “child sex ring run by the Clintons” nonsense that has been spread by QAnon, which makes me wonder who was really at the heart of starting this rumor in the first place.
At the least, someone should find out how Epstein was left alone, who gave that order, or who walked away from their post and why.
