Conway: Media coverage of Trump neither productive nor patriotic

I like the fact that the president uses social media platforms to connect directly with Americans and in this case, what (White House spokeswoman) Sarah Sanders said yesterday is true, that the president normally does not draw first blood. He is a counterpuncher as he said on the campaign trail, Conway said. There are personal attacks about his physicalities, about his fitness for office. Hes called a goon, thug, mentally ill, talking about dementia, armchair psychologists all over television every day.
It doesnt help the American people to have a president covered in this light, she continued. Im sorry. Its neither productive nor patriotic. The toxicity is over the top.

Stephanopoulos also presented Conway with a clip of an interview she sat for in August on his Sunday morning political talk show, This Week, in which she was asked about the presidents habit of hurling attacks and responded, I don't like it when people hurl personal insults. That will never change. Im a mother of four small children and it would be a terrible example to feel otherwise.
Conway did not address whether or not her past statement held true regarding the presidents statements this week but said that the clip proved her point as it pertained to the media, which she said has been filled with raw sewage about him and his fitness for office.

(16,254 posts)Is it dirt or does she chew on her fingernails. I couldn't blame her, as she has plenty of reason to do so, but they do have fake nails to cover that up. I pictured her with claws.

(17,158 posts)When people talk about his physicalities and fitness for office and call him a goonish thug with dementia, they're only discussing his GOOD points.
Geez. You can't please some people.

(17,984 posts)All the GOPeers want to use their kids to deflect and make themselves look righteous. Orange Shitstain said that poor widdle Barron was scared by Kathy Griffin's picture. Now Kellyanne is telling us that she wants to set an example for her kids. Well, let me tell you Kellyanne "Dirty Hands" Conway, if your kids did half the crap that your deranged lunatic of a boss does, they would be taken away by child services, given psych evaluations, and would probably stay in juvenile detention until they were 18.
