Conway: Progressive congresswomen represent 'dark underbelly in this country'

[Mrs. Overall]

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Monday piled on in attacking progressive congresswomen who have been the subject of attacks from President Trump in recent days, asserting that they represent a "dark underbelly" of the country.

Conway said on Fox News that she disagreed that Trump was helping to unify Democrats just as they had been in the middle of an intraparty feud with his slams against Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (Mass.).

"What the president is doing is, we are tired — sick and tired — of many people in this country," she said. "Forget these four. They represent a dark underbelly of people in this country of people who are not respecting our troops, are not giving them the resources and the respect that they deserve."

She slammed the first-term lawmakers for being the only four Democrats to vote against a border funding package that included humanitarian aid to address the influx of migrants.

1. Oh Gollum, you never disappoint. nt

[Vinca]

2. And I bet she doesn't consider that comment racist either.

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. I'll bet she's been under Trump's belly in the dark.

Yep.

5. And Here She Is on Faux This Morning, Losing SERIOUS Shit

Kellyanne Conway: We're 'sick and tired of many people' being represented by Democratic lawmakers

Straightjacket straight ahead!

6. Just one more incident for the Inspector General to add to her list of lawbreaking behavior.

Commenting on specific democrats. They need to find her in contempt for not complying with the subpoena issued if she is a no show, and they need to take them all to court. There is no point in finding people in contempt if your not going to do anything about it.

[FiveGoodMen]

8. You're saying there are still laws?

But surely not consequences for breaking them!

[vsrazdem]

10. LOL, I hear ya.

[no_hypocrisy]

7. Mary Matalin was always a chauvinistic Conservative, but

she never went as low as Kellyanne Conway.

[progree]

9. And a "dark element" too (she said, in case anyone might have missed "dark" the first time)

In a gaggle with reporters on the White House driveway, Conway accused the press of failing to adequately question the four Democrats after they delivered a press conference denouncing Trump a day earlier.

She told reporters that the congresswomen represent a "dark element," but did not respond to a question about whether that phrase carried racial undertones.

"Dark underbelly". "Dark element". Dark here, dark there, dark dark everywhere ... OK, got it! Enough already, Kellyanne!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. Yeah. "dark". It's racist signalling to their base of deplorable mothertrumping racists. . . . nt

11. She and KARMA, WTF if they ever meet, huh?

23. Any doubt how the republicans are going to handle things leading up to 2020?

Here is a look at what will be happening on an increasing, daily basis:

"She (Kellanne) slammed the first-term lawmakers for being the only four Democrats to vote against a border funding package that included humanitarian aid to address the influx of migrants."

[YOHABLO]

24. Let's face it the woman is psychologically deranged. She needs help. What a pathetic individual.

[Nitram]

25. Is Conway stupid, or is she just blatantly racist? Calling women of color "the dark underbelly"

with no trace of irony?

[sandensea]

26. She knows the the base eats it up like Meth-laced pork rinds

[brush]

29. She's no longer dog whistling, she's bullhorning like crazy to their racist base.
