By Tommy Christopher - January 22, 2018Kellyanne Conway’s epic meltdown has sent her into another media exile, perhaps permanently.
By Tommy Christopher - January 18, 2018Kellyanne Conway has long been obsessed with Hillary Clinton, but CNN’s Chris Cuomo may finally have sent Conway into a permanent spiral over the much more accomplished woman who beat Conway’s client by 3 million votes. During a scattershot interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo Wednesday night, Conway created another classic viral moment by bringing up […]
By Tommy Christopher - January 11, 2018White House counselor and “alternative facts” defender Kellyanne Conway was in the doghouse over her cooperation with “Fire and Fury” author Michael Wolff, but she scurried back into the spotlight this week to lie about Donald Trump’s failed attempt at damage control. Trump attempted to quash concerns about his mental fitness with a 55-minute televised photo op on […]
By Tommy Christopher - January 10, 2018The White House that has found itself engulfed in controversy for the last five days over the new tell-all insider book that depicts Donald Trump as mentally unstable and unfit for the office. Yet one of the administration’s chief spin doctors has been remarkably quiet. Instead of being out front defending the White House and […]
By Eric Boehlert - January 08, 2018After a lengthy golf vacation and a lavish for-profit New Year’s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump immediately set the tone for 2018 by sending White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Fox News to target the most vulnerable Americans for political attack. In an interview with “Fox & Friends” Tuesday morning, Conway discussed some of […]
By Tommy Christopher - January 02, 2018Donald Trump’s White House is in a deepening panic over special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, which has just obtained tens of thousands of emails from the Trump transition team. And as rumors of a disastrous purge swirl, the White House deployed senior adviser Kellyanne Conway to attack the investigation with her favorite tool. But the […]
By Tommy Christopher - December 17, 2017Former President Barack Obama has gotten deep under the Trump administration’s skin by pointing out the strength of the economy that he left for Donald Trump, and the strain is starting to show. On Monday morning, White House counselor and “alternative facts” inventor Kellyanne Conway resorted to some fairly desperate measures to ignore the truth […]
By Tommy Christopher - December 11, 2017White House adviser Kellyanne Conway is having zero success presenting herself and Donald Trump as champions of women’s rights — especially in light of Trump’s renewed endorsement of an accused child molester in the Alabama race for the U.S. Senate. On Tuesday morning, Conway appeared on CNN and went round and round with host Chris […]
By Eric Boehlert - December 06, 2017As women all around the country continue to open the floodgates and take down the powerful men who have used their positions to sexually assault subordinates in media, entertainment, and politics, one man remains conspicuously unpunished for his wrongdoing — the man in the Oval Office. Donald Trump has faced over a dozen accusations of […]
By Matthew Chapman - December 05, 2017Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia reached new stages last week, as former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI, Trump confessed to obstruction of justice on Twitter, and Trump’s lawyer insisting it is legal for the president to break the law. But as far as counselor to the […]
By Matthew Chapman - December 04, 2017Government employees, who draw their paychecks from taxpayer dollars, are barred from endorsing candidates, or using their paid positions to try to influence elections. That law is outlined in the Hatch Act. And when Kellyanne Conway went on Fox News last week to blast Alabama Democrat Doug Jones, who’s squaring off against accused child molester […]
By Eric Boehlert - November 29, 2017Even before Trump clarified he is still all in for Alabama Senate candidate and accused pedophile Roy Moore, counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway went on Fox News to outline why Republicans should back him, and to attack Moore’s Democratic opponent, former federal prosecutor Doug Jones. “Doug Jones is a doctrinaire liberal,” said Conway. “We want […]
By Matthew Chapman - November 22, 2017After the accusations surfaced from multiple women that Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore is a serial pedophile who was banned from a mall and the YMCA for stalking teenage girls, national Republican leadership has pulled their support, and Moore is sinking in polls against Democratic opponent Doug Jones. But the one Republican who really matters […]
By Matthew Chapman - November 20, 2017Donald Trump has been conspicuously silent on the allegations of child molestation leveled at Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. Now, top White House aide Kellyanne Conway has come up with a laughable justification: The story, first published just last week and continuing to develop with more and more allegations, is old news. Appearing on the […]
By Oliver Willis - November 17, 2017Kellyanne Conway ridiculously claimed the reason Trump has remained suspiciously silent on allegations of child molestation against Roy Moore is because he is just so focused on the policy and the substance of doing his job.
By Oliver Willis - November 16, 2017Chief Trump apologist Kellyanne Conway was in clean-up mode Sunday morning, desperately trying to change the narrative a day after Donald Trump drew widespread criticism for defending Russian President Vladimir Putin and attacking the U.S. intelligence community during an overseas press conference. In an appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” Conway said Trump was being “very […]
By Caroline Orr - November 12, 2017After briefly addressing one of the worst mass shootings in modern American history that unfolded in Texas on Sunday, Kellyanne Conway spent twice as much time talking about Hillary Clinton and the 2016 campaign during an interview on Fox news Monday morning. Claiming as she always does that she’d be “happy to never mention [Clinton] […]
By Eric Boehlert - November 06, 2017As special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation reaches Donald Trump’s inner circle, those closest to him are growing increasingly desperate to avoid the topic of Russia altogether. This was what White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway was surely hoping to do Sunday morning when she appeared on CNN’s Reliable Sources. Unfortunately for her, throwing shiny objects […]
By Caroline Orr - November 05, 2017Confirming that Donald Trump leaned on the Department of Justice this week to ramp up an investigation into his political opponents, White House adviser Kellyanne Conway insisted Trump’s heavy-handed move was a routine one done in the name of transparency. But decades of explicit guidelines and protocols confirm that any attempt by a sitting president […]
By Eric Boehlert - October 27, 2017Two weeks ago, four high-level U.S. soldiers were killed in Niger by a terrorist group linked to ISIS. And Donald Trump’s response to the tragedy has been stupendously bad. Trump only acknowledged the deaths even happened this week. On Monday, he said he had not visited or called any of the families, and had written letters […]
By Matthew Chapman - October 17, 2017It’s been one week since the bombshell report first broke about Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein’s history of sexual harassment and assault, and White House adviser Kellyanne Conway continues to suggest Hillary Clinton is the real villain of the story. (She green-lighted Weinstein’s abhorrent behavior, according to Conway’s convoluted interpretation.) But every time Conway highlights the […]
By Eric Boehlert - October 13, 2017In the wake of Harvey Weinstein’s ignominious fall from grace amid a deluge of sexual harassment and assault allegations spanning decades, two stark facts highlight the culture of misogyny that empowers predators like him: the fact that other men who have done exactly the same thing remain securely in power, and the widespread impulse to […]
By Matthew Chapman - October 12, 2017Senior Trump aide Kellyanne Conway defended the audio of Donald Trump bragging about sexual assault one year after the misogynistic recording was uncovered. In the recording, Trump spoke to “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush, telling him, “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.” He added, “Grab ’em by the […]
By Oliver Willis - October 11, 2017As the horrific extent of Harvey Weinstein’s abuse of women — and the culture of powerful Hollywood men who knew of his depravity and laughed it off — continues to trickle out, the corporate media and Republicans are bizarrely keen on shifting the blame toward any woman who happened to run in Weinstein’s social or […]
By Matthew Chapman - October 10, 2017This is why Republicans don’t want to talk about gun violence in the wake of horrific cases of gun violence — their arguments don’t hold up. Kellyanne Conway learned that Thursday morning with an appearance on CNN’s “New Day.” She became one of the first White House officials this week who was willing to have […]
