White House counselor Kellyanne Conway addressed one of President Donald Trump’s tiffs with reporters in a post-election press conference, where he called a question asked by PBS’ Yamiche Alcindor, a black reporter, “racist.”
“I resent tremendously always being put back into this toxic stew of racism, sexism, mysogynism [sic] and xenophobia,” Conway said Wednesday, when PBS’ Judy Woodruff pushed her on Alcindor’s question about if Trump’s labeling himself a nationalist gives tacit encouragement to white nationalists.
When pressed further, Conway admitted that maybe Trump should have said that the question had “racist implications” rather than calling it “racist.”

Maybe Trump should have just admitted to being a racist…
KellyAnne looks like she’s dying from the inside.
Indictments coming.
Again, why even bring her on to lie? How about bringing on a guy like Kevin Kruse to talk about the history of white nationalism and help viewers understand why the word has this connotation? Make them come away better informed? Why is that never an option for CNN?
Yes, this is a low for the News Hour, giving Conway airtime. It illuminates nothing. Surely they could have found a better guest to discuss these things, instead of a propagandist who simply reverts to a litany of talking points.
“I resent tremendously always being put back into this toxic stew of racism, sexism, mysogynism [sic] and xenophobia."
She works at the WH, where that stuff is on the menu every day. Why doesn’t she quit and start working at Burger King, which would allow her to contribute more to society than her skein of lies, obfuscations, and deceits?
