Lost in all the hilarity of CONway's claim, was the fact that it was crickets from Tweety when she actually made this false claim to him on his show.
He should be TOTALLY embarrassed that he COMPLETELY missed her saying this BS at that time.
Some have defended him by saying that her Gish Gallop is so perfect that mere mortals cannot withstand its effect.
And I get that.
But if it wasn't for many others who were actually listening to her answers to him, we would have missed it.
Lets see if he wears his BIG BOY pants today and addresses it.

(2,068 posts)He can be a good interviewer, as when he trapped Trump on the abortion doctor thing. I think she tosses so many fast non-facts, it is tough in the heat of the moment to call her out. I suspect he will address it today.

(25,167 posts)I'm thinking he couldn't make a connection to those words. He might have been thinking that he never heard of "Bowling Green Massacre" and rather than challenge her and be wrong he just let her spew her lies - to fact check at a later time.
It didn't take long for people to say that this massacre never existed and was just a figment of her imagination.
She was making up 'alternative facts' and she was caught with a 'verifiable lie'.

(3,208 posts)a Rawstory story that said tRump said there are so many terrorist attacks now that the media is not reporting them! So he didn't really address what she said, I think he agrees with what she said.
I am SO confused!

(22,308 posts)He misses lots of things and simply does not understand many others.
Chris simply is not as good at this as he used to be. It seems that he gets some talking points before the show and just wings it from there.
Time to put him out to pasture.

(645 posts)Ones on American soil.. involving deaths in Bowling Green??? Yes... there hasn't been that many attacks here in the US for him to suddenly have to figure out which one she was talking about.... he goofed up plain and simple.. and he does have this weird thing for Baghdad Betty... I cant figure that out

I can't imagine that they all missed this BS ... did Tweety purposely ignore it/
