Kellyanne Conway

Senior White House advisor Kellyanne Conway was mocked via social media after she claimed that surveillance could be done with "microwaves that turn into cameras."

In an interview with New Jersey's The Record newspaper Sunday, Conway said the government has many options available to conduct surveillance against citizens beyond wiretapping.

"There are many ways to surveil each other," Conway told the newspaper. "You can surveil someone through their phones, certainly through their television sets — any number of ways."

Conway told ABC on Monday she had no evidence for this and wasn't making a suggestion in regard to Trump Tower..........................

that's what ALL the guys said about Kellyanne. How do you think she got this job? I do not think the microwaves are the problem. I think all that gold paint must have little ears in it.

We have a winner folks!

I have become convinced she knows exactly how what she is saying and doing (ie the couch photo) is going to be covered by the media and is doing and saying a lot of this EXACTLY FOR THAT REASON.

Her comments and actions are intended to be a diversion and distraction and that is exactly what they are accomplishing.
Just like Dolt 45 she is creating a circus like atmosphere around herself to take peoples attention away from what is really going on.

If this boondoggle "health care" bill passes and people start saying it wasn't explained or covered enough we can look back to this entire controversy and say this is why.

They are using the media and the majority disapproval for these kinds of statements as a cover, and the media and public fall for it every time.

These people, like Conway, have been living and breathing the conspiracy life since HRC killed Vine Foster, that they have created their own little world with no idea how to come up with rational thought in a real world. They watched that awful Foster story actually get media play and an investigation that they figured anything can be said. There will be no consequences.

Her motor mouth non-answers to probing questions on national news this morning were pathetic.

Every time she was pinned down on subjects like the false phone tapping allegations, she'd try to change the subject. But the interviewers were wise to that by now.

My morning became a lot more pleasant without her ugly hag face and blathering ranting.

Oh yes, the mute button wasn't enough. I turned the TV off completely .

The Journalists should cut her off and repeat the same question as many times as it takes.

Or don't invite her, ask some of Obamas people to the news shows.


They'll give an answer to the questions, even if it's their opinion on what the last admin did in similar situation, it will be a much better news show.

Republicans should really fire their trashy-lowbrow people, her and Bannon.

Republicans moved in Carl Rove team last week? At least Rove people know how to hide crap and feed lies to "the people" like a real Republican.

So, they are letting her out on her own again? I thought the reputable networks were not letting her on any more?

She's a walking shit show and nobody needs to give her a forum. Period.
