I thought it was the job of reporters to ask questions. She obviously wanted to throw him off.

I thought she was a heartless grifter, but more and more she appears to be a true believer.

Sheer double-talk. There’s literally no meaning in the word salad. I imagine the message is they don’t even have to try to make it sound good.

Just gotta make some sounds come out out of your mouthhole. Then just say that was your answer.

Old and Busted: SMOKEBOMB!

“A lot of us are sick and tired of this country – of America coming last, to people who swore an oath of office.”

“But enough about President Trump”, she added.

“I’m asking you a question,” she said. “My ancestors are from Ireland and Italy.”

She said “dark underbelly”?

Damn. Her husband is going to have to write an op-ed about how she is a racist.

Stolen. Lock, stock and barrel.

Conway is quite possibly the best “fit” in the Trump administration.

I was going to say stolen but, of course, did not want to offend you. :grinning:

And she could have just said, “Next question.”

But that would have been insufficiently vile.

So a racist who is defending another racist does something racist.

She’s a ‘saleslady’.

She didn’t handle that very well. Considering that her half-Filipino husband just called Trump a racist, I’m guessing things are more tense at home than usual, and it’s getting to her. Might also have some explaining to do to her kids.

Even the xenomorphs wanted nothing to do with her.

Keep all this shit in mind when she rehabilitates her reputation with the help of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC. I bet the one network that doesn’t bend over backwards to help will be Fox.

Not that I am a fan of Fox, but I bet they get thrown under the bus in her and hubby’s tell-all.
