Defending Trump, White House adviser Kellyanne Conway asks a reporter: 'What's your ethnicity?'

Source: NBC News

Andrew Feinberg, a White House reporter for Breakfast Media, a website about politics and technology, asked Conway, "If the president was not telling these four congresswomen to return to their supposed countries of origin, to which countries was he referring?"

Conway paused and then asked him, "What's your ethnicity?"

"Why is that relevant?" Feinberg replied.

"Because I'm asking a question. My ancestors are from Ireland and Italy," Conway shot back.

she's a bit younger that I am so she probably wasn't alive to see the "Irish need not apply" signs in store windows. She probably doesn't remember when Italians were called "dirty wops".

so not sure if i'd compare the Conways to these 2. I happen to like Carville alot and i think with him & Matalin at least they have their dignity. Kelly Ann Conway does not. Not sure how i feel about George.

Which in fact is what that ghoul would do if she could.

Andrew Feinberg handled it great.
