White House adviser Kellyanne Conway is continuing her crusade against negative media coverage against the president, and now she’s gone so far as to blame the media for the violent protests that erupted at the University of California Berkeley this week.

Mediaite notes that Conway appeared on Sean Hannity’s radio program on Friday, where she said that the media is indirectly encouraging violent protests against President Donald Trump by not giving him the proper “respect” that she feels he’s owed.

“The coverage (of Trump) never changed, it never progressed, it never matured,” Conway complained to Hannity after he asked her about the media being mean to the president. “It never took on the aura of respect that it deserved, and if you are not showing the President and his main spokespeople respect, then you’re not showing the office respect, and you are inciting mob mentality if not mob violence.”

Conway said that such disrespectful media coverage encourages people to “unpeacefully protest, and block airport entrances for people who are going to visit a sick parent and can’t make their flight, or are going for a bereavement call and can’t make their flight.”

1. Trump never changed, never progressed, never matured.

What's her point?

[Faux pas]

30. And...

never EVOLVED!

[BeyondGeography]

2. Never changed, never progressed, never matured?

Call the projection police!

[cyclonefence]

3. Next thing you know

they'll be saying he's a muslim who was not born in the US, married to a man.

The ugly things said about Obama were created to be nasty and disrespectful; the "ugly" things said about Trump are simply the truth.

[2naSalit]

[Judi Lynn]

93. Exactly! Thanks.

[randome]

4. Please. Someone ask her why Trump's communications skills are so inadequate to the job, then.

If his 'message' isn't getting across, what is he doing wrong?

[maddiemom]

38. You really don't want to start this dialog.

[titaniumsalute]

5. You mean like all of the positive coverage Fox news gave Obama?

[MosheFeingold]

6. Tweets at 3:00 am

About Arnold's TV show kind of don't help any "aura" I would think.

[maddiemom]

37. Interesting that Trump thinks of Arnold as a "Big Movie Star,"

and not as a former Governor of California Admittedly, but not unsurprisingly, Arnold wasn't content to to go out of the public eye as a state governor.

[Blanks]

58. Swartznegger Inc...

Trump has to be getting nervous. He has to be wondering if people are beginning to realize that he isn't really a billionaire any more than Arnold is a billionaire.

He just played one on TV.

[Cary]

76. He's only stolen a few million so far

Give him time.

[maddiemom]

98. It's the basis of his whole phoney life.

How much faster he can continue to juggle is the question. As much as I've distained the credulous suckers he's conned, I truly despise those not taken in, just hoping to profit from his business banditry. My adult daughter recently told me that her dad, my ex, even in conflict with his current wife, had voted for Trump. I wasn't surprised. His was a hard-fought union family who made it possible for him to be educated up to the manager/executive class. It explains the unexplainable to those of us who've sustained liberal "bleeding hearts." Number One is the (Ayn Rand) priority, and Trump makes it OK

[napi21]

7. Hey Conjob! Respect is EARNED! Did you never hear that? Nobody is respected, nor SHOULD BE,

who hasn't earned your respect. The Con sure hasn't earned mine, nor has he earned the respect of most of the public. YOUR JOB is to teach your boss to start respecting PEOPLE and MAYBE he'll earn some respect in return.

[ginnyinWI]

28. +1 n/t

[maddiemom]

40. Anyone attempting that job would hit a brick wall and be gone-- pronto.

[starshine00]

8. he must think he's the new pope or something

or Putin. I imagine it will only be a matter of time, if he's not impeached first, before he starts jailing and disappearing journalists he doesn't like, then protestors, like Putin did to the Pussy Riot folks.

[Arkansas Granny]

9. Hey, Kellyanne. Respect is something a person earns. He hasn't done that yet.

[hvn_nbr_2]

95. If you want respect, be respectable. nt

[Freedomofspeech]

10. Oh, gawd...

The media gave him so much free air time during his two year campaign. Why won't she shut up?

[Yavin4]

11. So, the next step will be...

forcing the media to show Trump respect, no?

[Rollo]

12. Trump hasn't earned any respect

Any respect that came with the office of the President, Trump lost in the first week.

[1965Comet]

13. Holy S***

"“It never took on the aura of respect that it deserved, and if you are not showing the President and his main spokespeople respect, then you’re not showing the office respect, and you are inciting mob mentality if not mob violence.” "

Tell that to your boss and the last 8 years of his life disrespecting President Obama, lady!

[Longtime lurker 99]

14. Yeah, because everyone was so respectful to President t Obama

Including trump

[Me.]

15. Actually, This Isn't Really About The Resident...But Her

"you are not showing the President and his main spokespeople respect"

[FailureToCommunicate]

16. You know, Kellyanne, it's hard for the press to respect Trump's "aura"

[keithbvadu2]

81. How sweet! -- Potus and FLOTUS -- I mean POTUS and Ivanka

[lark]

17. Lying orange sewer rat barbie.

Coverage never matured because they are dealing with an imbecilic 3 year old. Respect is earned and her boss and she have earned zero respect because all they do is lie, smear and brag - that's it. They are not acting like mature responsible adults, they are acting like spoiled selfish children. If they didn't make up so many lies, media wouldn't have to point it out. quit lying, quit trying to use the office to enrich him. Start caring about the US and not just making $$ for the rich. But, of course, hair furor and orange sewer rat Barbie are totally incapable of doing that.

[Megahurtz]

48. .........

"hair furor"

[lark]

60. I saw that and stole it.

It so captures his inner essence.

[hibbing]

18. That boy is a P.I.G...pig n/t

[mahina]

19. Came here for the photoshopped auras of respect memes, left dissapointed.

You guys suck. (I keed, I keed)

[spiderpig]

20. Oh puhleeze...

This from the biggest media clown since Baghdad Bob.

[Turbineguy]

21. These people are in trouble

and it's the fault of somebody else.

[dchill]

22. Is an "aura of respect..."

the same as "alternative respect?"

[keithbvadu2]

82. Good one!

[leftynyc]

23. Wwaaaaah, Waaaaaah, Wwaaaaaah

Are these clowns going to EVER stop whining?

[logosoco]

24. Kellyanne, honey, did no one ever tell you respect has to be EARNED?nt

[mnhtnbb]

25. Shut your mouth, Propaganda Barbie.

Respect is earned and your sexual predator, pathological liar, white supremacist, narcissistic a$$hole boss has yet to do anything
to earn my respect. Given his past history, I'm not holding my breath, either, in expectation that he will change. Because people don't change.
And your boss will never be anything but a lying bag of $hit for which I have ZERO respect.

[Raster]

32. I could not say it any better!!! "Propaganda Barbie".....

...

WINNAH!

[mnhtnbb]

70. I can't take credit..but I love the tag

[Longtime lurker 99]

45. That is too good of a compliment

Calling her Barbie

[mnhtnbb]

71. Not original to me...but I do agree with it.

[BeyondGeography]

26. President Dangerfield

Poor him. Poor us.

[mobeau69]

27. Just like you, Skeltor Barbie, he sucks

and his Bowling Green Address sucked too.

[Raster]

35. Skeletor Barbie... another good one!!!

[machoneman]

41. Kellyskank Spinway!

How'd you like that one? Bwahahahah!

[fishwax]

29. mighty tough life there, Kellyanne

[maddiemom]

31. When TRUMP matures...

When TRUMP shows respect to others who deserve it...then HE might be due for respect. I imagine Kellyanne has been paid up front. Otherwise she's playing the fool and deserves to get stiffed by Trump. All his professional supporters are surely paid on an ongoing basis. If they are unable to make him some combination of FDR, JFK, and IKE, they will not deserve to be paid by for their FAILURE efforts by the usual Trump formula.

[unblock]

33. a "populist" complaining about "mob mentality"?

[underpants]

34. Well, he does have YOU as a spokesperson

So there's that

[asiliveandbreathe]

36. The point of all this is to keep us and the media distracted from the GD war

This KCon is a POS..and I don't mind saying it...I am disgusted....stay focused folk's..US Vets you know what I am talking about -

This shock and awe is going to come right up behind us and bite us in the arse...stay in close contact w/ those of your family who are serving..

The reason given will be lies and the drum beating to war can already be heard chaos surrounds us - as deflection...

The gang who couldn't shoot straight..Saudie ship fired upon by Iran - indeed...oh, ya!!!!! -

[padfun]

39. Yeah!! Like the respect they gave Obama.

Did these people just get off the boat?

They act like they were all good and cooperative with Obama. They are trying to change history daily.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

42. Fuck him

Want respect? Start acting respectable instead of like a whiney 70 old brat.

[sinkingfeeling]

43. I was brought up that one must earn respect.

[louis-t]

44. Can I get a Seig Heil?

Jeez.

[hollowdweller]

46. Trump was elected in spite of the media and these protests are

happening in spite of it too. Not because of it. Trump should understand things work both ways.

Also hoping the protestors can get the media to start focusing on how he is doing the very things he criticized Clinton for allegedly planning.

[Lil Missy]

47. That's rich considering he never missed a chance to trash Hillary or Obam

[Botany]

49. And to think of all those who died in the Bowling Green Massacre so Trump could be POTUS

Fredrick Douglass aka Freddy D or the D-Train

Rosa Parks aka R.P.O.G.

Harriet Tubman aka the Tub-monster


********

As far as I am concerned Trump and company should not get one moment of peace. It was a coup
and they are traitors.

Violent Protest??? ...... Washington D.C. Women's March 1,000,000 + people and zero arrests.

[Miles Archer]

52. The names of those who died are etched on the Bowling Green Massacre Memorial Wall

We will never forget.

[Botany]

57. Please do not post this on social media

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10712023

Again I am begging you not to post this on social media.

BTW we might need a tribute to those who died in Bowling Green, KY too.

Again I am begging you not to post this on social media.

[Miles Archer]

61. I'll take it under advisement.

[Botany]

63. And for God's sake do not post this either

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028591260

[Miles Archer]

65. Please ALSO do NOT got to Twitter and do a search for hashtag #BowlingGreenMasacre

Just don't. You might see a couple of things you don't want to see on Social Media there. I can't understand why people would go to tag posts on Twitter with the hashtag #BowlingGreenMasacre at a time when our nation needs to heal from the Bowling Green Massacre. I really can't.

YES, sadly, whoever started the hashtag misspelled it, but it's trending, so I guess we're stuck with it.



ON A SERIOUS NOTE:

Hamfisted Bun Vendor ( @MetalOllie) is STILL one of the most consistently entertaining and acerbic Trump critics on Twitter. For those of you with Twitter accounts, I encourage you to follow him. You'll be glad you did.

[eShirl]

50. that's a stretch

[MrModerate]

51. Does Conway have any idea how mockable . . .

Her statement beginning "The coverage never changed . . . it never matured" is?

Is the woman entirely dead to irony? Or has her monomaniacal message discipline (which actually shows signs of slipping) literally driven her mad?

[C_U_L8R]

53. Apparently, Trump isn't the only one who doesn't read.

It's a story that keeps on repeating...

[pansypoo53219]

54. pResident turnip deserves nothing. he has taken us back a mile in 2 weeks.

[Eliot Rosewater]

55. She and her fascist bosses wont be happy until the media and all liberals

are in jail or dead.

Neither Pence, Bannon or rump should be able to get a donut without facing thousands of protesters.

[left-of-center2012]

56. Next she'll blame Frederick Douglas ...

He's not come out in support of Trump.

[olddad56]

59. respect is something that has to be earned.

[wordpix]

62. speaking of people who can't make their flights, what about the Muslim ban, KellyCon?

[joshdawg]

64. Hey Kellyanne Coulter er.....CONway,

drumpf deserves NO respect whatsoever!!

[adigal]

66. She can only go on friendly shows cause of Bowling Green Massacre

The tragedy. Oh, the tragedy.

[Skittles]

67. I DISAVOW THAT RACIST XENOPHOBIC MISOGYNIST PIECE OF SHIT AS MY PRESIDENT

GO TO HELL MS. CONWAY

[pamdb]

68. bimbo

“The coverage (of Trump) never changed, it never progressed, it never matured, Perhaps because Mien
Trumpf has never progressed or matured.

[Turbineguy]

69. The emanation is invisible

and we are too far away to smell him.

[smirkymonkey]

72. Respect? Respect?

Does she really think that orange baboon commands even an ounce of respect? She is as stupid as he is!

[Jopin Klobe]

74. That 'aura of respect' about which you speak ...

... is being obliterated by the incredible stench of putrid, "Republican" snake-oil ...

[orangecrush]

75. "Deserves"

Narcissist enabler bullshit.

Fuck you, propaganda Barbie.

[VMA131Marine]

77. Kellyanne, you're making me miss Sarah Palin!

I hate you for that!

[haele]

78. Wrong - he is getting the "proper respect" he's owed for his actions and policies.

Which is, the same respect one gives a 4 year old just before he throws a tantrum.

The question you really should be asking, Kelly-dear - When will Donald Trump give the office he took the proper respect it's owed. And when will he give his employers - all the people of the United States of America, whether they voted for him or not - and the oath he gave - to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States the proper respect they're given.

Otherwise, you're just whining as much as he is.

Haele

[Third Doctor]

79. Aura of respect?

He has a aura of bullshit. Why respect someone that respects nothing and no one else?

[DonCoquixote]

80. Donald Trump has been the same person for 40 years

he has not changed one bit, except for whatever wives he's decided to discard and put on. Treating people, he is done that since the 80s, which is why he had to go to Russian banks to get credit. Crude behavior?, the same thing. There is been nothing, absolutely nothing that says Donald Trump is even trying to rise to responsibility that being the president would demand. If he could go ahead and stop insulting China via Tweet, or for that matter, not using Tweet like a little 15-year-old, he might begin to earn respect.

Please, the guy who started birtherism is the very last person to say that we should defer to the office of the president

[Jazzgirl]

83. His only message is to get back at the people that don't like him.

Which is most people. He can't stand that. That's why all the EO's that he knows liberals don't like. It's to punish his perceived "enemies". He is definitely sick.

[NNadir]

84. I think we're giving the two twits, Trump and Kelly, exactly the respect they deserve:

None.

They think that respect is something that's handed out a whim.

Wrong.

It's earned.

It's unsurprising that they don't know the rules involved with respect, since their unfamiliar with it, having given none, having earned none, and having received none.

[coco22]

85. The only thing I can say to that is..

[KPN]

86. Media inciting "mob mentality" -- that's rich

coming from the camp that has openly incited a mob mentality among white supremacists, xenophobes, homophobes, mysogynists and fundamental christians for about two years now.

[Ohioboy]

87. In other words Trump's a snowflake.

Stop hurting his feelwings.

[Cosmocat]

108. He is literally the Snowflake in Chief

nm

[workinclasszero]

88. I'll give that racist birther POS the same 'aura of respect'

he gave to President Obama!

[workinclasszero]

89. The violent protests are a Republican/Bannon false flag operation

CNN Guest: Berkeley Rioters Were Actually Secret Right-Wingers Affiliated With Breitbart
by Alex Griswold | 9:40 am, February 3rd, 2017

On CNN Thursday, UC Berkeley professor and former Democratic Secretary of Labor Robert Reich suggested the anti-Trump riots on campus were actually a right-wing plot to delegitimize liberals.

100. Sigh...

Que up the Trump Twitter Tantrums from when President Obama won the election.

You want respect? Try doing something to deserve it for once.

[MFM008]

101. why does this person

feel he deserves respect because of a title that was assured to him by a foreign government, fake news and leaks.
Hes not going to get it. Ever.
Personally I hate him, and that's putting it mildly.

[Lotusflower70]

102. Screw that

Respect is earned, he hasn't earned anything yet.

[Marthe48]

103. You own it

[oberliner]

104. Everyone needs to show Trump the respect that Trump showed Obama in 2012

From 2012:

‏@realDonaldTrump
This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!

We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!

Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.

Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble...like never before.

The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.

He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!

[laserhaas]

105. I'd say der Donald is getting too much respect

He deserves a butt whooping

[3catwoman3]

106. An aura, medically speaking, is what you...

...experience before a seizure or a migraine. Seems appropriate.

I get an aura of nausea anytime I think of Trumplethinskin.

107. What would she know about respect?

Nothing, just like her boss.
