QOTD: KellyAnne Conway

QOTD: KellyAnne Conway

by digby

Those subpoenas different individuals are trying to push aside, that we have an entire Mueller investigation, lasted 22 months, cost $30 million, expansive, expensive definitive inclusive investigation. No crime was charged.

C&L:

When Tapper pointed out that there were indeed 33 people charged with crimes, Conway changed her tune and said "There are lots of crimes charged, not against President Trump. That's the big fish here."

Tapper reminded her that there were plenty of "big fish" such as Trump's national security adviser, campaign chairman, deputy campaign chairman, former fixer and campaign adviser, etc., Conway refused to acknowledge that he was correct, and instead did her best to distance herself and Trump from the Russia scandal, and then proceeded to lie about what was in the report, claiming that Trump was cleared of obstruction of justice.

Tapper again pointed out that Conway was lying and ended the interview after thanking her for coming on.

A lot of people complain that this blatant liar is invited on new shows but I think it's ok. Tapper called her on her lies and to everyone but Trump cultists, she was seen for the dishonest hack that she is. The problem is when the interviewers don't challenge her. But even then her lies are so obvious that I think most people can see through her.

I'd be a lot more worried if she was actually good at this. But she isn't.

Update

Jesus H. Christ. What a horrible, horrible hack:

.@JakeTapper repeatedly asks WH counselor Kellyanne Conway if President Trump thinks white nationalism is a growing threat around the world, and if she thinks his response on Charlottesville was ‘perfect’ as he says it was. #CNNSotu https://t.co/hetfI07Gq6 pic.twitter.com/xtdd1SfvD5
