Kellyanne Conway: "Alternative Facts"

Kellyanne Conway: Press Secretary Sean Spicer Gave 'Alternative Facts' | Meet The Press | NBC News



Guess what Kelllyanne? "Alternative Facts" are lies!

If you find it unbearable to listen to this exchange, as I do, just fast forward to 2:00-minute mark to hear her say that the Press Secretary gave "alternative facts."

the media, I believe his base will never believe a word the media says and will believe everything he says.

Which is almost funny, given neither he or any of his representatives EVER tell the truth.

Please repeat that often, he never, they never tell the truth, NEVER.

It's why his approval rating has dropped below the percentage of votes he got. The hard right are fucking nuts beyond belief. There will never be any way to get through to them.

Seriously, a part of me looks at this sh!tshow of presidency and figure it will be such a messy failure-fest.

On the other hand, the fact that his lies are so brazen is a point of worry for me.

that GOP majority and grabberman in the WH will either be a huge failure or it will work. If it works, America is destroyed. If it doesn't work, America is destroyed, but we know who did it.

is that this truly evil woman will have this moniker attached to her for the rest of her life. Every time she opens her mouth and gives some bullcrap answer or tries to deflect, I hope the interviewer follows up with, "So are these actual facts or alternative facts?" She more than deserves that.

If this utterance reduces her to a walking parody for enough folks that don't already think of her as such, it will turn out to be a wonderful thing.

Kellyanne Conjob must be getting tired. I love that she actually said something that will stick like glue & she can't shake it off. Had SNL been doing a spoof on he they could not have come up with something better than she did to herself with that line
