Conway slams 'sameness' of Trump criticism at Emmys

White House adviser Kellyanne Conway was no fan of the overtly political tone at Sunday night’s Emmy awards, complaining Monday morning that the ceremony featured much of the “sameness” that she said is generally prevalent in Hollywood.

“They got plucked and polished and waxed and some of them didn't eat for two months and all for what? To sound the same? And they have a right to speak,” Conway told Fox News’s “Fox & Friends” Monday morning. “Between the Emmys, the Miss America pageant was very politicized, our sports are very politicized and it looks like the ratings are suffering. It looks like America is responding by tuning out because they want you to stick to your knitting.”

Sunday night’s Emmy awards were broadcast by CBS and hosted by “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert, who rose to prominence playing a conservative pundit on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” and has made political jokes a centerpiece of his network hosting duties. Colbert joked in his monologue that “every show was influenced by Donald Trump in some way,” including “next year’s Latin Grammys, hosted by Sheriff Joe Arpaio,” the Arizona sheriff whose contempt of court conviction related to racial profiling accusations was recently pardoned by the president.

“The Handmaid’s Tale,” a Hulu series about a dystopian U.S. set in the future that has inspired protests on Capitol Hill, won multiple awards Sunday night. And “Veep” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus, winner of her sixth straight Emmy for best actress in a comedy, joked in her acceptance speech that “we did have a whole storyline about an impeachment but we abandoned that because we were afraid someone else might get to it first.”

4. They Always Mention Ratings

But, ad buys are still out there for both active and streaming TV. No network of any description is going broke.

So, that means this constant harping on ratings is just a lie.
