The lack of credulity is quite shocking. It was a racist wolf whistle. Pure and simple.

Could she have been just talking shit to eat time? It doesn’t have to make sense anymore.

But, this time [Conway’s response] was a little weirder than normal.”

She hit two standard deviations off normal a long time ago and hasn’t looked back.

Here’s some clues, Andrew:

She’s a Republican.

She works lying for and defending Trump.

And she doesn’t have to work very hard, because she believes in everything that Trump and the GOP believe in.

Do I have to make a commercial like the “This is your brain on drugs” PSA with the eggs and the frying pan?

If Kellyanne Conway were any weirder than normal it would tear a hole in the fabric of time and space.

It would be like if Trump were any more stupid.

Afterward, she also asked him if he liked beer.

Why, is he being nominated for the Supreme Court?

The gates of hell will have to open extremely wide to accept the occupants and employees of this White House when this nightmare concludes.

C’mon…she asked him so she could DEFLECT. She saw Tom Friedman do it on the Sunday shows and thought in her nasty little mind that she could somehow turn it into something positive for Trump. ‘See? He’s not a racist! It’s all POLITICAL!’ The one thing she didn’t count on and none of the cowards in CONGRESS counted on is that the American public is smarter than this BS. If you want to ‘debate’ whether the President is ‘racist’ then do. However, WHAT Donnie said is not up for questioning. The comments were racist. Pure and simple.

Conway never means any disrespect with her insults, misdirection, or lies. Of course not. :upside_down_face:

Conway later clarified in a tweet that she meant “no disrespect” with the question and claimed she was trying to make the point that “we are all from somewhere else ‘originally.'”

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. That’s the point, Kelly-Anne!!!

My dream is that, just for one day, the White House Press Corps would issue a guest press pass to Samuel L. Jackson.

I would really like to see and hear his response when Kellyanne asks him, “What’s your ethnicity?”

And as dog whistles go, clarifying that she is “proud of [her] ethnicity” tells white supremacists that mama has the treats out, and they won’t even have to fetch anything to get one. No “roll over”, no " “play dead”, and no “who’s a good boy?” Just treats, treats, treats.

Something about her question seems off, and not for the obvious reasons. Any sociologists want to comment on her of “ethnicity”? I always thought of it as a pretty fluid concept–like something we choose, more than something imposed on us by society. So it’s odd that this would somehow clarify what Trump was saying, which wasn’t about choice but rather “go back to where (I decide) you came from”: i.e., you are not really American, according to me. Essentially, he’s not talking about “ethnicity” at all.

PS–yes, I know I’m reading too much into this moron’s off the cuff comment.

He should have told her his parents emigrated to the U.S. from the nation of Covfefe.

Yes she had her “talking points” and her strategy all planned out. She wasn’t focused on his question, she had retorts to throw like hand grenades, and this one was a dud.

False statement.

This is much better:

The White House correspondent whom Kellyanne Conway asked about his ethnicity on Tuesday is still just as perplexed as the rest of us about the question.

I am still waiting for the illustrious Diamonds and Silk to chime in on Trump’s racist remarks and the House Dems condemning them.

Last night I watched “Always Be My Maybe” on Netflix, and it turned out to be a much funnier than usual rom-com, but I know Diamonds and Silk will more than top it in hilarity.

That, and their interpretation of “being smart” is to think of distractions on the fly, throw them out and hope something sticks while trying to make the entire conversation appear fluid.

A more ignorant band of losers this country has never seen.
