The Downfall of Kellyanne Conway

When Ms. Conway breached federal ethics laws by hawking Ivanka Trump’s “stuff” in the press briefing room, she got off with no immediate penalty besides being “counseled on the subject.” She told Fox News that the president supported her, that she was lucky to have a nice boss like Donald Trump and that every woman in America should hope to have a boss like him. She made it sound as though declining to punish a woman for ethics violations was somehow feminist, and as though all that matters to women is how their bosses treat them personally, not how their bosses impact the lives of other women.

If I weren’t too exhausted to feel insulted, I’d have felt insulted.

As Kellyanne’s once-forceful cable news denials have disintegrated into whimpers, I can’t say I feel anything for her at all. I don’t mind when people point out how tired she looks. I simply cannot dredge up any sympathy for a person who has acknowledged the structural problems most women face only when she is personally facing them, or used them as derailing tactics when she’s losing an argument. I can’t mourn the downfall of a fair-weather feminist, a woman who has used her power to hurt other women.

Ms. Conway made her bed. And now it’s time for her to get some sleep.

4. She just straight up doesn't give an answer.

She provides her already prepared talking points. She waits for a string of words that sounds like a question (that's her cue), then starts providing her buffet of sound bytes until another string of words come back at her, and she repeats. The "answers" do not have to be relevant at all. That's how she does interviews, and how the administrating propagates its propaganda.

5. Her response sounds something like a answer

but it isn't. That's one of the ploy's. She repeats a key word from the question, which gives the impression of answering the question and then responds with something that was not asked. She changes the subject and answers with the wrong context. Very slick
"But do you know if it's true?"...
"What I do know is that mr blablabla always tells the truth..." Very slick
