CNN takes Kellyanne Conway to the cleaners with expose of her lies and cons (VIDEO)

CNN continues to hammer Kellyanne Conway justifiably. Her continued deceit at every turn is perplexing. Kellyanne Conway seems to believe that if she continues her lies and cons, eventually the news will let her slide by without pushback. So far, CNN is not buying it.

CNN's Erin Burnett played a segment where they itemized a few of the myriad of Kellyanne Conway's lies, cons, and missteps. The excerpted video clip included her most recent con, the promotion of Ivanka Trump's product line, her famous alternative facts comment, and the nonexistent Bowling Green Massacre.

I have the feeling though that the only reason for this pushback--finally!!!--is because Trump has gone after them personally.

As long as he was insulting women, African Americans, immigrants, Mexicans, Muslims, people with disabilities, veterans' families, etc. etc., he was funny and entertaining and made for good ratings.

Now that he's attacking CNN by name, suddenly his lying is a big issue, front and center.

We should have seen this sort of challenge a year ago. I suppose better late than never, but too bad Jake and Co. didn't have the guts to do this when it might counted so much more.

for whatever reason. It's self-interest, sure. But their challenging outright lies and illegal pushing Ivanka's line is LONG overdue, and welcome, finally.
