I don't want to doubt Kelleyanne Conway!

She says she is the victim of a sexual assault? But her response was that the victim should be responsible enough not to get put in those situations. Say What? That was a load of BS! Each situation is different and she has no right to blame the victims. The holier than thou is getting old from her and she should turn in who ever assault her.

She's drunk enough GOP Kool-Aid to fill a swimming pool, and she's going to view everything that happens, even that might have happened to her, through that ideological prism. The GOP is the Borg, and she's been well and truly assimilated.

But regardless, the message she is sending out is disgusting.

But I used to pre-deploy to Great Inagua while on active duty. We used to work hand in hand with the DEA, TCI, and DEU (basically the DEA departments of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos)

Anywho, Mortons salt has had an operation there for decades. There are even donkey still left on the island that are descendants from the donkeys that used to move the salt there. It looks like they would be just a fun time to go up and slide down from a distance, but lemme tell you from first-hand experience...there is a nice HARD layer of salt that forms on them.

Sorry for the quick hijack. Those pictures brought back fond memories.

Do not call ourselves victims.
WE ARE SURVIVORS.
Kellyanne conway is trying to minimize the act and blame the survivor, not the usual response of a survivor. JUST SAYIN’

She is well aware that Trump has sexually assaulted women and gotten away with it. She knows about payoffs by politicians and campaigns.

She also chose to stay in politics and the Trump administration. She was willing to put up with it to an extent to get where she is, and she is very good at what she does. For Kellyanne it came with the territory she wanted to pursue.

Conway's staggering modus operandi of continual, brazen lying on behalf of, as well as working for and drawing her salary from Trump, an abuser and self-admitted "pussy-grabber", makes it kind of difficult.
