😆 Kellyanne Conway's Hot Take On College Admission Scandal Backfires Spectacularly

Kellyanne Conway

@KellyannePolls
.@LoriLoughlin & @FelicityHuffman indicted for lying and buying spots in college.

They worried their daughters are as stupid as their mothers.

Between alternative facts, selling Ivanka’s shit, the Bowling Green massacre, and microwaves recording people...I would pump the brakes on insulting anyone’s intelligence.

These two are despicable.

Meanwhile, your boss is selling access to the White House. Ran a fake university and neither he or his children earned their way through any institution, more importantly, life.

Yes, it’s terrible when kids of wealthy parents get things they don’t earn, like college placements and security clearances.

"The superintendent confirmed that wealthy NYMA trustees wanted him to hand Trump’s records over to them, but he refused...

Trump ordered Cohen to threaten his high school, colleges & College Board to never release his grades or SAT scores." #SummaCumLiar

Did you not get the memo that your boss literally used a fake university for the sole purpose of scamming the gullible.

The conservatives just assumed she must be a liberal, given the tremendous depth of her artistic abilities, and due to the breadth of her resume.

The makers work their ass off to pass a standardized test just to get into a 2 year school.

The takers have mommy and daddy but their way into a college.

My favorite tweets in response to Ms. Conway's idiotic tweet are:

Mary Etta:
"Could be worse, they could have a job where they lie & twist 'alternate facts' for a living"

Amy Siskind:
"Kinda almost as bad as accepting help from a foreign adversary to install a puppet regime"
