Senior Presidential Advisor Kellyanne Conway appeared on Fox & Friends this morning and revealed the first clues on how the White House plans to address the current political conundrum they find themselves in surrounding the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. A confirmation vote set for Thursday of this week is now in question to be delayed as a result of allegations of sexual assault that occurred 35 years ago that came to light in the past few days.

While fellow Republicans have opened with attacks on the Democrats who raised reasonable questions by holding this potentially damning evidence to the 11th hour, Conway opened her comments by presenting a more sympathetic tone towards the accuser.

“This woman should not be insulted and she should not be ignored,” Conway opened, before explaining the many options that the Judicial Committee — and ostensibly the White House — has in terms of hearing what Dr. Ford has to say. “She will be heard,” was perhaps a surprising (and refreshing) note to hear from Ms. Conway for Democrats who are overly eager to paint a Trump administration in the most unflattering manner possible.

The balance of the segment is more akin to a congressional filibuster in which Conway hits nearly every talking point imaginable, but her opening support of the alleged accuser? That’s noteworthy.

1. I think the last part of the quote is revealing:

"---we already KNOW---that Judge Kavanaugh is a man of character and integrity."

So, "let her talk" but it won't change our opinion.

4. GOP men of "character and integrity" always seem to be involved in stealing Democrats' data.

Since Nixon (at least) Russiapublicans have been breaking into Democratic files. Time to make them pay for it.

2. This is an attempt to run interference for the WH

They know full well how this will look to average American women if they full on attack Dr Ford. While I have no doubt the initial thought process for most of the GOP is to go full on "Anita Hill attack mode", I don't think those type of attacks, much less the optics will be effective in 2018...at least I hope not.

3. "...what we all ready know..."

Is that Kavanaugh has already lied under oath TWICE....

[lagomorph777]

5. About breaking into Democratic files. Like Nixon and Trumputin.

Russiapublicans are obsessed with data theft.

10. Russpublicans, RubleCons, Putin Plutocrats, Grumpy Old men Party, Red Snowflakes, Tsar Babies. . .nt

6. She doesn't have long there

9. Could be. Watch cons like CONway soften poses & try to appear "reasonable" as tRump crumbles. . nt

7. Because there's nothing GOP enjoys better

Demoralizing sadism feels to good to them! Frustrating Democrats with not quite close enough, winning by one cheated vote at a time, or nearly defeating an unqualified nominee.

Don't believe a word Conway says. Not one utterance, not for a moment.

8. Don't trust any statement out of this sick, lying bastard's mouth to mean what it

seems to mean.

11. "The balance of the segment is more akin to a congressional filibuster..."

"The balance of the segment is more akin to a congressional filibuster in which Conway hits nearly every talking point imaginable..."

That sentence pretty well describes every single interview I have ever seen with Kellyanne
