Kellyanne Conway defends Tillerson’s Russia ties: ‘It’s not like he’s pounding down vodka with Putin’

Former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway went on Good Morning America on Monday to defend Rex Tillerson, her boss’s potential pick for Secretary of State, who has come under fire for his ties to the Russian government.

While Conway acknowledged that Tillerson has had multiple dealings with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the years, she said that this was a positive quality, as he could work to help make deals with Russia on the American people’s behalf.

“Rex Tillerson has dealt with Russia for many years,” she said. “It’s not like he’s pounding down vodka with Vladimir Putin at the local bar, but he’s dealt with him in a business context. And we know we don’t have a good relationship with many countries around the globe, including Russia. If, as Secretary of State, Mr. Tillerson — or whomever the president-elect chooses this week — if he can go ahead and improve U.S. relationships and advance U.S. interests, and advance the Trump doctrine, then we should all welcome that.”

Host George Stephanopoulos noted that several key Republican senators — including John McCain and Marco Rubio — have already expressed major reservations about Tillerson’s appointment.

1. Welcome to post-fact

He and his wife have two daughters, Katya and Maria, who were both in their early teens when he became president. Putin has a black belt in judo and enjoys running. He does not smoke, and does not drink alcohol, or at least drinks so rarely that it appears that way

2. ""if he can improve U.S. relationships": I'm sure Tillerson can advance Exxon's

relationship with Russia and get even richer, no doubt about that.

She sounds dumb as a rock in this interview. Of course, she's protecting her puppetmasters.

4. Interesting that Kellyanne Collaborator's thoughts immediately turn to

"pounding down vodka." Get help, Kellyanne. Do it for you kids' sake.

5. Uh, Ms. Conway? It's champagne rather than vodka, but close enough . . .

6. I don't get her.

During the campaign there was a puff piece about her on either MSNBC or CNN, I can't remember which one. She was chatting with a reporter in her $6,000,000 mansion in northern New Jersey. She told how as a teenager she heard Ronald Reagan giving a speech when he first ran for president and she said "It was like he was speaking to my heart!"

What is in the mindset of a teenage girl to have thought that Ronald Reagan and his "Welfare Queen" talk and his "The four dirtiest words in the English language are The Government Is Here To Help" and his sneering the word "L-I-B-E-R-A-L" are words that speak to her heart?

Wow. I also heard Ronald Reagan speaking when I was very young and my response was "Shit, what a horrible man!"

7. The Banana Republic presidents of Central America weren't drinking lemonade with Silent Cal Coolidge

back in the day, but that doesn't mean that they weren't doing what the US State Department and the United Fruit Company told them to do.

One of the things that slipped the deplorables' attention is that their Donald and the Republican Party are turning the US into a Latin American-style oligarchical state.
