MSNBC Interview Was Not the First Time Conway Referred to the "Bowling Green Massacre"

[Blue_Adept]

Kellyanne Conway took to Twitter on Friday to walk back her comments on MSNBC's Hardball about a nonexistent terrorist attack in Bowling Green, Kentucky. However, this wasn't the first time she used the words "Bowling Green massacre" in an on-the-record conversation with a reporter.

In an earlier interview with Cosmopolitan.com, she not only used this same phrase but also went a step further in describing the actions of the two Iraqi men involved in the case to which she was referring.

1. Already planting the seeds of propaganda into the "popular media".

[Equinox Moon]

2. I hope she continues to NOT be interviewed by the media.

That trend started this weekend, no interviews with Kellyanne.

[Achilleaze]

3. Now the republican stoogette is lying about her lies

How republican is that? Doubleplusungood.

[Botany]

10. It was an honest mistake .... K.A.C.

On Friday morning, Ms. Conway admitted she had put out wrong information. “Honest mistakes
abound,” she wrote on Twitter — and pointed to missteps the news media had made in covering
the Trump administration.

********

It was not "honest mistakes" they were lies.

The B.G.M. never happened.

President Obama did not put a travel ban on Iraqis after the B.G.M..

And now it turns out this wasn't the first time that KAC talked about the B.G.M.

4. Conway is refusing to answer Cosmopolitan's followup question

about where she got her "facts" that allege that the two went back to the Middle East for training, since there is nothing about this in the DOJ memo. Either she is doubling down on a lie, or has just publicly leaked secret info. Which is it? We deserve to know. Sean? Kellyanne? Donald? Will one of you give us a straight answer about this? Will anyone besides a Cosmo columnist have the journalists chops to push back on it?


"But the DOJ release makes no mention of the men returning to the Middle East for training.

The May 2011 indictment and complaints do not mention the men returning to the Middle East at any time for training either.
........
Asked specifically where she got her information about the men joining ISIS and going back to the Middle East for training, she said, "I know when they were radicalized and received a briefing."
............
Asked again about her claim that the men went back to the Middle East and why that wasn't in court documents, she said she couldn't answer that."

5. Pizzagate, BGM...

If they ever want to use an attack for an excuse to go full-blown tyrant, they'll just make one up.

And people will believe it actually happened.

They call actual massacres a hoax (Sandy Hook) and call things that never happened a massacre.

Conway lied. She intentionally lied. She was attempting to plant a memory of an event that never happened to enrage people.

[uponit7771]

7. +1

[IronLionZion]

17. There are RW conspiracy nuts who believe it happened

and that Obama and the liberal media covered it up to protect muslim refugees.

Trump's people definitely want something bad to happen, either a war with someone or some horrible attack. It's disgusting how much they openly hate America just to get an excuse to take more power for themselves.

[Solly Mack]

19. It's scary to think how easy it is to sway the morons.

They can easily be driven to violence over absolutely nothing.

[suffragette]

26. Yes, they'll believe anything that feeds their hate. And the Cons in the Whitehouse will

Keep shoveling that feed to them.

[malaise]

31. Notice that today Groper Don the Con said the fake media is hiding

terrorist attacks in Europe. This bunch is made up of pathological LIARS

[Solly Mack]

36. He can't help himself and that makes him a danger to the world.

[Blue_true]

39. The rightwing'so claims always are contradictory.

They claim that law enforcement, the FBI and the CIA love them (I won't dispute that claim given the nature of the people involved), then they turn around and claim those very same people remained silent while President Obama covered up criminal acts and massacres. The sad thing is that a large percentage of 63 million Americans believe that hogwash.

In today's modern world, no significant event can happen in a city without being recorded on several smartphones and being in the hands of several media outlets within an hour.

[dalton99a]

6. She purposely invented a lie with that phrasing.

Soulless, evil ghoul.

[world wide wally]

8. Her name should become synonymous with Bowling Green Massacre as a famous lie

Fuck her career

[Cha]

34. She does have her own wikipedia page on her Bowling Green Massacre Lie..

Statements by Conway

I bet, there was very little coverage‍—‌I bet it's brand new information to people that President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country, were radicalized‍—‌and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre. I mean, most people don't know that because it didn't get covered.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowling_Green_massacre

It's Covered Now, Twit!

[mcar]

9. Which makes Matthews even more incompetent

[Cha]

35. Exactly, mcar.. he should be so embarrassed..

Got that from the Wikipedia page on it!

It's Covered Now, Twit!

P.S. she blames the haters.. IOW the Fact Checkers.

[Fast Walker 52]

11. So she LIED about misspeaking? I'm shocked!

These people are unbelievably evil.

[Marthe48]

12. What if it is a false flag plan

and she spilled the beans?

[RobertDevereaux]

13. The broken SCROTUS...

...surrounds himself with broken people.

Give the American people a BREAK and impeach him pronto!

[SansACause]

14. Innocent soldiers?

In a theater of war? Is that even a thing?

[DemoTex]

15. Bowling Green Massacre: Where were you when the pins fell?

[MontanaMama]

16. So she got away with floating a big fat lie once

and since she wasn't called on it, thought she could main stream it. Not this time. I'm not a Tweety fan at all but he has lost what little credibility he had in my book with letting her off the hook on this.

She is souless. I do not say that lightly. I have a brother that is a diagnosed psycopath. I can't be physically near him without feeling sick. When I look at pictures of her it shakes me to the core. Conway, Bannon, Dump - we are dealing with evil. No question about it.

[SunSeeker]

20. Well said.

[uponit7771]

22. Thing is he didn't know there was no bowling green massacre. What's frustrating to us the pundents..

... Are often less informed than internet politicos

[MontanaMama]

37. Yes, many pundits are quite ill informed.

In my estimation it should be a deal breaker to be in a trusted journalistic position and not know WTF is going on. I'm guessing these guys don't get performance evaluations at work.

[etherealtruth]

38. The pundits (especially on the major networks) have producers, writers, and fact checkers .....

... that speak into their ears during interviews.

No one person can keep up with all the lies and mis-information ... however, the people backing them up are paid to be on top of this. In the case of Tweety, I wonder whether he chose to ignore producers and fact checkers (I have difficulty believing they missed this)

[uponit7771]

40. Yes.. they can real time fact check too... They can call bull shit on the spot

[etherealtruth]

41. Exactly ... I am not sure what happened with Tweety

[SunSeeker]

18. K & R for exposure.

[Fla Dem]

21. No respectable news outlet (print or media) should give this fabricator of falsehoods

not one second of attention. They discredit themselve to have a proven liar speak on anything.

[Gothmog]

23. Conway is a compulsive liar and so of course she has used this lie before

[kacekwl]

24. I just mis-spoke one word,

Poor me

[Javaman]

25. the entire administration is nothing but repugnant pigs. nt

[Bengus81]

27. KICK................n/t

[RockaFowler]

28. Whoops - one more lie

Kellyanne Conway Referenced ‘Bowling Green Attack’ in TMZ Interview

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/02/06/kellyanne-conway-referenced-bowling-green-attack-in-tmz-interview.html


So she lied 2 other times and got away with it. Glad people are picking up on this.
Oh and her little dig to Chelsea now seems even more absurd now. This woman is a pathological liar. Like her boss

[njhoneybadger]

29. It's all about deception

Kellyanne Conjob's words "Bowling Green Massacre" we're said that way by design to create as much media attention as possible. It was a set up. We can't ever forget bannon is evil and is pulling the strings. Bannon's goal is to bring about a holy war pitting Christians against Muslims while simultaneously delegitimizing liberalism,the gay community,blacks and Jews. Bannon instituted the travel ban not to keep people out but to elicit responses from the media, the public, and the judiciary to be used against them at a later time.The seven countries were chosen because trump had no business interests in them so we would be goaded into making it an issue. Bannon knew the travel ban would be overturned. He was counting on it being overturned. When the ban is lifted what happens if an Iraqi refugee with unknown Isis beliefs surreptitiously eludes the vetting process enters the U.S. Connects with radicals here and is responsible for a massacre.Trump is vindicated. Trumps tweet "just can't believe a judge would put our country in such peril" becomes very profound.Kellyanne conjob's bowling green massacre now has some round about relevance. The media is silenced,the public is silence,the judiciary is reluctant to overturn any security orders. Bannon can now move ahead with impunity.Bannon goes into full authoritarian mode.DECLARES WAR ON ISIS(in his mind all Muslims)Trump is able to lift sanctions with Russia freeing him up from being blackmailed.game, set, match we're all fucked.

[Brother Buzz]

30. Are you saying Obama was a participant in your conspiracy theory?

The seven countries targeted in President Trump's executive order on immigration were initially identified as "countries of concern" under the Obama administration.

[Blue_true]

42. Which means procedures and policies for vetting

People from those areas get examined for gaps, which is far different from a blind ban that has little basis in fact.

[Brother Buzz]

43. Exactly

It's amazingly sad to go from a prudent policy to an outright ban steeped in paranoia in a few short weeks.

I thought Spicer was going to be the first to be hauled away to the rubber room, but I'm bumping Bannon to the top of the list. That is, if Bannon doesn't stroke out first.

[njhoneybadger]

32. It's all about deception

Absolutely no. It would have to be someone who was being groomed for some time by nefarious people for a purpose like this

[njhoneybadger]

33. It's all about deception

The point about no countries trump has business ties to. Bannon wanted people to react just the way they did. It was a diversion.
