Kellyanne Conway Urges Fox News Viewers to Read Mosque Shooting Suspect's 'Entire' Racist Manifesto


Complaining that ‘everybody scoured’ the hate-filled dossier to find Trump’s name, the White House counselor said the suspect ‘is not a conservative’ or a ‘Nazi.’

Asked to respond to “people around the world comparing this guy and his manifesto to Donald Trump” on Fox & Friends Monday morning, Conway said it was “predictable and outrageous” before asserting the president “condemns hate and evil and bigotry.”

The veteran pollster went on to complain that “everybody scoured” the document to find Trump’s name and it was only in there “one time,” adding that the suspect said he “is not a conservative” or a “Nazi” and closely aligns with the “ideology of China.”

“But people should read the entire—in its entirety,” Conway declared, calling on viewers to search out and digest the bigoted document.

She then pivoted to the 2017 congressional baseball shooting in which Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) was nearly killed by a left-wing activist, claiming that “we didn’t run around saying the guy watches MSNBC or he is Bernie supporter.”

“Nobody should do that,” she added. “Nobody should blame folks other than the evil, hateful shooter.”

Immediately after that shooting, however, Conway did exactly what she now asserts she didn’t do, running to Fox & Friends to point the finger at the media for inspiring the baseball shooter and calling the attack a “natural byproduct” of the coverage of Trump.

sense for someone like him.

Does the manifesto say he's pro-communism, though?

Cause I'm guessing NOT.

Inject doubt & draw false comparisons. It's a playbook, and it works.

There's zero reason for them to stop when they have their own Propaganda Channel.
