Kellyanne Conway Plays the Victim of Media Bullying for Inventing Massacre

Last updated on July 17th, 2023 at 09:55 pm

Kellyanne Conway got caught – and mocked – for inventing a massacre by two Iraqi men on Chris Matthews’ “Hardball” last night and she’s now playing the innocent victim for her employment of alternate facts.

Her first tweet employed a news report that turned out to be inaccurate:

On @hardball @NBCNews @MSNBC I meant to say "Bowling Green terrorists" as reported here:

As the Toronto Star‘s Daniel Dale, who so thoroughly fact-checked Donald Trump, pointed out, however,

This is, again, highly dishonest – links to old story about fears there were more refugee terrorists. There weren't. https://t.co/BMa2oBDo9y

So dishonesty to excuse lies. All too typical in the Trump administration. But Conway wasn’t done by a long shot. Her persecution tale had yet to come, but we did not have to wait long. First, it became Chris Matthews’ fault that she lied:

NBC reporter texted me at 632am re:a diff story; never asked what I meant on @Hardball b4 slamming me on @TODAYshow Not cool,not journalism

— Kellyanne Conway (@KellyannePolls) February 3, 2017

Then she heaped abuse on an unnamed “prominent liberal site”:

1/2: Honest mistakes abound. Last night, prominent editor of liberal site apologized for almost running a story re: tweet from fake account

— Kellyanne Conway (@KellyannePolls) February 3, 2017

Before praising her own imaginary “class” and “grace”:

2/2: yet won't name him, attack him, get the base 2 descend upon him. Same with MLKJr bust fake story. It's called class, grace, deep breath

— Kellyanne Conway (@KellyannePolls) February 3, 2017

Clearly, Kellyanne Conway takes her example from Trump, with a persecution complex and an imaginary self-image so far out of whack that it can scarce be comprehended. Her unhinged and far from gracious rants demanding Trump’s critics be fired, are near as epic as her boss’s.

Kellyanne Conway got caught lying, and lying big, and rather than praising her imaginary class and self-image, she ought to be issuing a mea culpa and apologizing for her frequent use of “alternate facts” as an excuse for Donald Trump’s inexcusable actions.
