When White House reporter Andrew Feinberg posed a question to Kellyanne Conway on Tuesday about the president’s racist tweets against the four congresswomen known as the “Squad,” he found himself taken aback by her response.

Feinberg, a reporter for the website BeltwayBreakfast.com, asked the White House counselor which countries President Donald Trump was referring to when he suggested Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar—all U.S. citizens—should “go back” to where they came from.

Instead of answering that question, Conway asked him, “What’s your ethnicity?”

“Uh... why is that relevant?” Feinberg asked before Conway interrupted him to say, “Because I’m asking you a question.”

1. Disgusting n/t

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. BITCH!!!!!

That is what Kellyanne Conway is.

I am sure Kellyanne breaks a mirror every time she looks into one.

[politicaljunkie41910]

47. She goes looking for the publicity. She's not the WH Spokesperson. She just makes it a habit

to put herself in the midst of the Press so she can issue statements on behalf of Trump. Then she acts indignant to the Press questions. Girl PLEEZE!!!!! Why doesn't she just admit it that, like Trump, she likes the attention. SHE NEEDS THE ATTENTION!!!!

[Dennis Donovan]

3. That's full-on Nazi.

I hope George has moved out by the time she gets home tonight...

[OnDoutside]

4. What does George Conway think of that....

[lame54]

6. It's great foreplay

[OnDoutside]

48. George Conway is her failsafe - I don't buy his anti-Trump performance art.

eom

51. james carville / mary matalin

we've seen this dog and pony show before

[gratuitous]

5. My ethnicity? Human. What's yours?

Let's stick with this topic of racism. The entire administration seems very uncomfortable with it.

[smirkymonkey]

8. She is pure evil.

Someday, I would like to see this entire administration lined up before a firing squad.

[ProudLib72]

28. Before someone comes along and objects to your post

I want to agree!

[gopiscrap]

43. me too

[smirkymonkey]

44. I figured as long as I didn't say that I, personally, was going to be the one

firing the shots, it was kosher.

You never know. It could happen.

[ProudLib72]

53. Could or Should?

I say should. In a just country, it definitely should happen.

[smirkymonkey]

59. Well, you know, there have been such things as violent revolutions.

I would say "should". If anyone deserves it, this crowd does. I would have no problem bringing these back.

[SammyWinstonJack]

42. A deep dark dungeon is where they belong. Or one of tRUMP's concentration camps.

[maxsolomon]

9. It's relevant because she's short-circuiting your question.

The Press has no counters to the GOP's media techniques. It works every time.

They get TRAINED in this shit: stonewalling, gish galloping, never backing down, projection, etc.

What training do reporters get?

[qazplm135]

14. what's the counter?

Those things work because they are effective and if they stick to it, there's not much you can do to break through.

[maxsolomon]

17. Fuck if I know

I guess I'd ask why they're afraid to answer directly, but that just leads to bickering.

America is in deep shit.

[RobertDevereaux]

24. "We reporters ask the questions. Your job is to answer them or rather...

To sidestep around, deflect, and ignore them.

[dawg day]

31. The right answer is (for Americans) 'American'

My kids say that-- Their 8 great-grandparents were from 8 different countries (some which don't exist anymore) and 'ethnicities".

That's part of being American-- you are, above all, American.
Every time I see Conway, I remember we are paying her $174K a year to do nothing apparently but violate the Hatch Act and say nasty things to reporters.

[misanthrope]

46. Emmitt Till was American

So was Michael Donald. To say their ethnicity was immaterial isn't completely honest.

[dawg day]

49. It's not material to whether they are Americans.

Trump's point was that the ethnicity made them not truly American.

[Martin Eden]

15. Like any internet troll, the tactic is to attack and put you on the defensive

They play by a different set of rules, and they want you to get down in the mud with them for two reasons:

First, they have a lot more experience at mudslinging.

Second, the mainstream media can then apply "both siderism" to the whole thing.

[bronxiteforever]

22. +1 Great points. Totally agree.

11. The pressure is getting to her. Good.

[SMC22307]

56. No it's not, she thrives on this...

she ENJOYS it.

[MineralMan]

12. He should have replied, "I come from European Jews, Including some

who died in the Nazi death camps. Think about that, Ms. Conway. Now, please answer my question."

[dsc]

18. bingo that is exactly what should have been said

[MineralMan]

20. I wonder what Kellyanne would have said to that.

I'm guessing it would have shut her mouth right up.

[Retrograde]

57. Or "I'm a sentient human - what about you

and your boss?"

[Thekaspervote]

16. Kelly kelly .... that's the best ya got? Oh she's so cuteeeee.. just like her stinking boss

[lapislzi]

19. United States of Go Fuck Yourself

Province of Go Piss Up a Rope.

[barbtries]

21. she seems to get

more obnoxious and less relevant by the day.

reporters should just stop giving her air.

[Caliman73]

26. Agree 100%

We really don't need to hear from her. She never has anything valid to say anyway. All she does is gish gallop or deflect in someway to cover for the buffoon she has sold her soul to.

[barbtries]

39. exactly

and she literally thumbs her nose at the law. obnoxious.

[llmart]

52. ...thumbs her nose at the law but brags about how many law degrees she has.

Probably got them from a correspondence course, because someone as stupid as she comes off should never be allowed to practice law.

[dlk]

25. That's When Reporters Need to Reply, "Nice Try-Now Please Answer the Question"

Don’t let her get away with dodging a tough question.

[cp]

27. Racism in action

Uh, Kellyanne, your white supremacy is showing. We can see it.

[Hekate]

30. Pardon me, Kellyanne, but you appear to be a Nazi Bitch...

Oh excuse me, was that out of line? Because I am askng you a question: Is your family so assimilated they've forgotten that the Irish were compared to apes when they arrived? That it was said that "the Irish will never assimilate"?

Thought so. You look in the mirror and see an overly-clever racist who despite marrying a brown person seems to believe in Blood and Soil.

On edit: Dear Kellyanne admitted to being Irish and Italian. Oh, you mean Micks and Wops? Bead-rattlers? Papists? No doubt Mafia on one side and drunks on the other? Oh, am I being offensive to your fee-fees?
And she was unbelievably spiteful the way she said she was "sick and tired of people putting this country last."

Damnation I hate that woman and all she stands for.

[dalton99a]

35. She is.

[Srkdqltr]

36. According to Wikipedia

Her grandfather is/was Jimmy "The Brute" DiNatale a mob associate of the Philadelphia crime family.

[barbtries]

40. i wonder why

that's so easy to believe.
born to it.

[Grammy23]

33. I have our tv on but the sound is muted. I looked up to see

Kellyanne snarling and poking the air with her bony finger and wondered what on earth she was saying and who she was directing her wrath toward. So I came here, pretty confident someone here would have posted something about it.

I know she is a witch most foul but I’m Pretty sure I’ve never seen her make that kind of face before. She usually is smooth as silk no matter how nasty her rhetoric is. The pressure of her job must be really getting under her skin. Or maybe George told her he’s fed up. Whatever. She looked like she was fit to be tied.

[trev]

34. If I were a quick thinker (which I'm not)

I would have turned the question right back on her. "What's yours?"

[IcyPeas]

37. kellyanne, why is your decolletage so sweaty?

all that lying must cause anxiety

[demmiblue]

38. ...

Link to tweet

[struggle4progress]

41. "You won't be worrying about my boss's racism after I spew my own prejudiced yap!"

[smirkymonkey]

45. The Trump Boys have a new book out...

[Trailrider1951]

50. LOL!

Well done!

[womanofthehills]

54. Malcolm Nance Tweet - on Kellyanne's hair today and the racist President cult

[Arkansas Granny]

55. Oh, that's too good. 👍

[myohmy2]

58. "...Conway asked him, "What's your ethnicity?" "

" “Uh... why is that relevant?” Feinberg asked before Conway interrupted him..."

...mistake, Feinberg, big mistake...you should have responded,

..."None of your fucking business trump-hag, how long is your dick?"

...IMO, he now has a journalistic demerit allowing himself to be 'taken aback' by a kelly-belly trump-hag...

...shameful...
