Kellyanne Conway's "Bowling Green Massacre" is Twitter's New Favorite Alternative Fact

[jpak]

http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a8671790/kellyanne-conway-bowling-green-massacare/

During an interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Thursday, the White House counselor defended President Donald Trump's recent immigration ban in part because of the horrific "Bowling Green Massacre" — something multiple sources confirm never happened.

2. I saw the tape. Conway, as usual, is comical in her straight-faced Baghdad Bob obfuscation act.

But what I thought was really pathetic was when she mentioned the 'Bowling Green Massacre,' and Matthews took a beat like he didn't know what she was talking about...and then just ASSUMED she must be talking about a real event that he hasn't heard of.

If you were talking to a normal person, that would probably be okay. But when you're talking to Kellyanne Conjob YOU CAN'T ASSUME THAT. With her, if you ever hear her mention a 'fact' that you haven't heard before, you have no choice but to assume SHE PULLED IT OUT OF HER ASS! You immediately STOP your line of questioning, and say "sorry...WHAT? What is this thing you're speaking of?"

I mean, this is Chris Matthews, for goodness sake. He's the guy who stopped a conservative radio twit dead in his tracks when the guy accused Obama of 'appeasement' like Neville Chamberlain. Matthews asked the guy what Chamberlain ACTUALLY DID, and the guy couldn't answer because he didn't know. He made him look like a total idiot. And Matthews just missed his chance to do the same to Conway.

Here's the video.

21. I remember seeing that live, one of Matthews' greatest moments, NEVER let the guy off the hook.

[TrollBuster9090]

46. Yeah, aside from calling a few Republicans out on their use of "The Democrat Party," he's never

...never managed to repeat that moment of glory.

[Motley13]

62. He did a good job of getting blotus to say that women s/b punished for abortion

[Midnight Writer]

61. Yes, I appreciated Chris for this. Did you see her wink? Meant to distract from lies.

[Rustyeye77]

3. Another ALTERNATIVE FACT.

[Achilleaze]

4. Cut her some slack. She's a Republican, after all.

CONway meant to meant to say "blowing green" but mispronunciated it...IOKIYAR

[Achilleaze]

5. Photographic evidence of actual bowling green massacre (no photoshop)

[KittyWampus]

19. Thank you for completing this thread.

[workinclasszero]

20. Oh the huge manatee!

[The Polack MSgt]

39. Holy Shmoly... I may love you more than you are comfortable with

That is the best

[workinclasszero]

42. I love that meme

[Plucketeer]

40. Purfect!

[Beartracks]

[pinboy3niner]

43. Alas, I couldn't reach them in time to save them and stand them up again

[lastlib]

60. SO,,,PINboy--what are we keeping you around here for???!?

You'd better have a good excuse--up until now, this was TOTALLY on Frau CONway-Goebbels' shoulders..........



(of course, it still is...!)

[Beartracks]

55. NOOooooooooooo......

==============

[mdbl]

6. and she is the brains behind the Trump administration

What a loon.

[tecelote]

7. Hey! Don't Laugh. This is serious.

I was one of the victims. Shot five times and died on the way to the hospital.

I, for one, will never forget!

[mwooldri]

23. RIP Nick Brett...

His hopes and dreams were dashed to pieces on the indoor bowling green last Saturday.

(Lawn Bowls is a serious game you know!)

[dem4decades]

8. Is there a contact number for Matthews to let him

Know he's enabling a fascist? And we're not impressed.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

9. All because of a football game?

[Barack_America]

10. The sea of red on the field that day...

...Please, the memory is just too painful for many of us....

[mwooldri]

22. No, bowls.

And it happened on Trump's watch too...

Sorry it happens to be a lamestream media link but you know... #alternativefacts

[HopeAgain]

28. Tens of thousands of Muslims in Ohio celebrated

It was on TV, I saw it myself..

[Buckeye_Democrat]

37. That explains the buckeye necklaces! They're prayer beads!

[Ilsa]

11. Should start a GoFundMe

with proceeds going to refugee charities around the US.

[csziggy]

34. There is already a Bowling Green Massacre Victims Fund.

Bowling Green Massacre Victims Fund

When you click through it directs to the ACLU.

[progressoid]

48. Love the link to the ACLU!

Clever.

[Seasider]

12. Conway no doubt will try to spin her way out of it

She'll come up with explanation that she referred to the "bowling green massacre" as something that would've happened if these "bad hombres" were not caught. The problem she has is that in her exchange with Chris Matthews, she was talking about it like it actually happened and not as as some hypothetical scenario.

[DK504]

35. She already has.

She tweets out that nice line of: "I meant to say...blah, blah, blah"

[hatrack]

13. One of my favorites so far . . .

Justin Shanes
(@justinshanes)
Finding these Bowling Green Massacre jokes to be a little too soon. Out of respect, we should wait until it takes place.

[dem4decades]

14. She massacres the truth on a daily basis.

[Plucketeer]

41. White House lawn massacres!

[3catwoman3]

58. "Out of respect, we should wait until it takes place."

Brilliant!

[lastlib]

59. Remember the "Bowling Green Seven"!!....

(Or is it "Six"? No, wait, it was "Twelve", wasn't it? Or maybe "Ninety-Two".......I have such a hard time keeping all these alternative facts straight.........)

[SticksnStones]

15. I used to listen to Hardball while working in my studio

I'd have headphones on to hear it as I worked. With headphones you can hear a lot of the background sounds.

I noticed that often, he'd ask a question and while it's being answered, there's the sound of a sharpie writing madly.

He doesn't push back because he rarely listens to the answers...he's writing the next question.

[JenniferJuniper]

16. I agree. And it's time he was fired.

[dem4decades]

25. I would say "Hardball" is an alternative fact when she is on.

[SticksnStones]

30. It's difficult to understand why he goes so easy on her

Perhaps there's some Faustian bargain he's made for future access to other trumpeteers...

[csziggy]

36. One of the MSNBC ads had CONway placing her hand over Matthews' hand

A classic female ploy to get a man on her side.

[alarimer]

17. Just the latest battle in the War on Christmas.

I remember like I just made it up yesterday

[SidDithers]

18. You know she's become a joke, when even Toronto baseball writers are trolling her...

[Lanius]

24. When will the Trump cabal forbid Kellyanne from appearing on TV?

She's an embarrassment to everyone and has made some major gaffs lately. She'll never outlive "alternative facts."

[demmiblue]

26. A few more tweets:

27. This disregard for truth is getting scarier and scarier.

29. bowlinggreenmassacrefund.com redirects to ACLU donation page

Very clever

[IronLionZion]

31. When will senior green leaders and bowlers denounce this terrible act?

Anyone who hasn't denounced the bowling green massacre is implicitly supporting it and obviously hates America.

Never Forget!

[pinboy3niner]

32. I would have died in the massacre...

...but it was my day off as pinboy. There, but for the Grace of God go I...

[MountCleaners]

38. Disgusting footage of the perp

Please don't watch if you're easily triggered. I'm sorry to post this, but at least
the guy got his comeuppance.

Link to tweet

Kellyanne gets her facts wrong again. As you can see, the perp was white as a sheet. Probably a domestic extremist with ties to the AMF.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

44. When I saw this on Facebook this morning I was thinking "Gangs of New York" or something

I guess her mind was conflating that workplace shooting at a Kansas slaughterhouse or something.

[Renew Deal]

45. The shock of it all left me clinging to my door buzzard

[OldRedneck]

47. The Bowling Green massacre REALLY HAPPENED --

Someone may already have pointed this out, but:

KELLEYANNE WAS RIGHT -- THERE REALLY WAS A BOWLING GREEN MASSACRE.

Ohio State -- 77

into a resistance riot.

50. Now is NOT the time to point fingers.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Bowling Green Massacre victims.

57. Just checked FreeRepublic for laughs and they are a riot as they are blaming the liberal media

and saying its their fault LOL
God, the lengths they go to try and find an out for their fellow nutjobs is truly amazing.

[FairWinds]

63. My immediate family has seven degrees from . .

Bowling Green State University.

My spouse is a retired BGSU prof.

Wonder how the massacre will affect enrollment . . .

65. How do you know KAC is lying?

Her mouth is moving.

Seriously she is like a 6th grader that lies when it would be easier to tell the truth
