Conway Says Democrats Trying to Humiliate Trumps Picks

https://politicalwire.com/2017/01/18/conway-says-democrats-trying-humiliate-trumps-picks/

SNIP.............


Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway blasted Senate Democrats for “trying to embarrass” the incoming administration’s Cabinet nominees, The Hill reports.

Said Conway: “This idea of humiliating and trying to embarrass qualified men and women who just wish to serve this nation is reprehensible.”

So when Trump nominees stumble, it is democrats faults. Not that they are unqualified and specifically picked to not be experts by Trump. When their respective department areas begin to collapse will that be democrats faults too Remember Heck of a Job Brownie

once he creates a vacuum in the government by eliminating those that could help, he'd better have people that can run the government.

From firing their undocumented workers to failing to pay taxes on household workers to insider trading. Not to mention the lack of knowledge being exhibited about the departments they are supposed to head.

Get out of the kitchen.

By the way, Ms. Conway, I'd say your characterization of Trump's nominees as "qualified" isn't borne out by their testimony. Please stick to facts and leave the editorial comments to others.

The truth hurts. If the nominees were qualified for the positions, it would near impossible to humiliate them. Those that are humiliated are so because they know practically nothing about the government departments they were nominated to serve.

What a complete crock of shit! Every, single one of those assholes was appointed with ulterior motives and the desire to undercut and dismantle the functions of their respective government posts. This is one giant republican wet dream to hand the reigns of government function over to oligarchs in the name of "less government". These people deserve every bit of pressure and questioning they are receiving.
