Conway: Dems want Clinton to be useful or 'fade out'

Counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway suggested Thursday that Democrats in Washington are quietly steaming about the upcoming release of Hillary Clinton’s book, telling Fox News they want her to “either make herself useful or fade out of the limelight.”

Initial excerpts from Clinton’s book, which details her failed 2016 presidential campaign and is titled “What Happened,” were released Wednesday on MSNBC. In them, Clinton recalls the second presidential debate, in which she accused Trump of standing too close to her. She said her “skin crawled” from Trump's behavior and that she had considered telling Trump to “back up, you creep.”

Without indicating the source of her intelligence on their thinking, Conway said Clinton’s forthcoming book has been a point of frustration for Democrats looking to move beyond last year’s election.

“Look at the crackup of the left,” she said. “You’ve got Hillary Clinton who Democrats are whispering all over this town they wish that this book didn’t happen. That she would just either make herself useful or fade out of the limelight. Where is her bipartisan effort to try to help with infrastructure, meaningful tax reform or the opioid crisis that I work on in the building behind me every single day? We haven’t heard from her.”

No intelligent person is interested in anything you have to say, especially when it comes to people who do not belong to your racist, brain-dead, corrupt party.

Kellyanne is living proof of the old saying that beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes all the way to the bone.
