Kellyanne Conway thinks Donald Trumps lies are ok because he doesnt think hes lying

On Sunday morning’s broadcast of CNN’s Reliable Sources, White House advisor Kellyanne Conway continued to wage war on the media—and CNN specifically—by arguing the network shouldn’t be so critical toward the president because Donald Trump simply doesn’t know any better.

Conway took umbrage with the media’s insistence on covering such “non-stories” as the president of the United States continually lying to the American public. After host Brian Stelter argued that his network was committed to covering the many scandals emanating from the White House, an incredulous Conway pushed back, demanding to know what “scandals” Stelter was referring to.
“The scandals are about the president’s lies,” replied Stelter. “About voter fraud; about wire-tapping; his repeated lies about those issues. That’s the scandal.”

Despite overwhelming evidence that the White House is indeed lying in both of those cases—there is zero evidence to support Donald Trump’s claim that 3 million people voted illegally, or that his office was wire-tapped—the administration continues to promise “investigations” into both matters. But Conway’s response on Sunday was a new approach to how the administration handles allegations of lying

Anybody see that horror show? Stelter would do well to have a few obvious facts at his fingertips, in order to counter her BS, and the guts to more assertively STOP her in her tracks

I actually watched over 20 minutes of gishgalloping insults before I turned on Joel Osteen for something less soul killing

Has she ever been on with Joy Reid?

about lying.

It's lying. If it's lying under oath, it's perjury. It isn't recognized as "truthful hyperbole". It's not the truth. It's lying.

By going public with "it's not lying if you believe it" meme should provoke an ethics violation against her by the state bar.

...... Donald Trump is in a different category. The sheer frequency, spontaneity and seeming irrelevance of his lies have no precedent. Nixon, Reagan and Clinton were protecting their reputations; Trump seems to lie for the pure joy of it. A whopping 70 percent of Trump’s statements that PolitiFact checked during the campaign were false, while only 4 percent were completely true, and 11 percent mostly true. (Compare that to the politician Trump dubbed “crooked,” Hillary Clinton: Just 26 percent of her statements were deemed false.)

Yes KellyAnn shares the wisdom of George Costanza with us. What a way to run a country.

pinch hit

Again, will she ever go toe to toe w/Joy?

Or anyone who will insult her, uh, tit for tat?

What's with this wimpy, faux politesse in the face in the face of intransigent, strident, truculent, overarching mendacity?
