Sociopaths have no conscience, so they aren't bothered by that sort of thing. She is a sociopath, just like her boss, and everyone else on that campaign, as well as a large chunk of their constituency.

Lying with a smile IS sociopathic. Her and her boss are masters of that.
HOW the fuck can people be this stupid?

without what we call a conscience. Or more. Research has found that most of them really like that about themselves and feel contemptuous toward others for the constraints of conscience on their behavior (i.e., power over others). Also, people can have "traits of" without being so bad that they're considered clinically disordered, and there are a lot more of those.

We all know and have known a number of them. On average, they tend to be more charming and charismatic than most people.

Don't know about perky Kellyanne, but given her, and her husband's, behaviors and associations with the dark and slimy sewers of right-wing political operations, I'm guessing the odds are a lot stronger for her than the normal person.

Just given their behavior, I also suspect others who are showing up around the Trump campaign are probably cluster B types (the class of personality disorders that contains predatory and manipulative psychopathy).

In the past politicians whose names we know may have benefited from the contributions of these types to their efforts to gain office for themselves and others, but they don't normally talk to them themselves. That's what intermediaries and cut-outs are for. Trump's likely too dysfunctional himself to care about the reasons for that distancing.

Drudge’s Mystery Source? It’s Wachtell’s Conway

Just as a curiosity, I've read that Kellyanne's husband, who used to work for Judicial Watch manufacturing dirt, dated Laura Ingraham before they got together. The writer described Kellyanne back then as yet another Ingraham type.

how she has gotten the current reputation for something like "integrity". She and Barbara O. were the COULTERgeist and INGRAHAM of their day in the '90s.

Her boss has kind of a track record that way.
