White House counselor Kellyanne Conway berated people for looking for the “cheap and easy” by aligning the motivations of the New Zealand shooter with a Trump-MAGA ideology.

“I guess everybody scoured [the shooter’s manifesto], searched for Donald Trump’s name and there it is one time,” Conway said Monday morning on “Fox and Friends.” “I think people look for the cheap and easy, especially if it fits their own ideology.”

She called the comparison “predictable and outrageous.”

  1. Well, Kellyanne, it is easy–because there are similarities. (No, the two are not identical. The shooter in New Zealand believes his crazy ideas, while your boss only “believes” what he thinks will benefit him at the moment.) And it’s cheap for anyone with a computer, 'cause the Internet is still free.

    So, there.

  3. Perfectly normal just look at how many times Obama’s name appeared in a shooter’s manifesto…Oh it never did…

  4. I thought ‘Cheap And Easy’ was Kellyanne’s nickname in high school.
