NYT: Kellyanne Conway Said She Needed a Shower After Speaking for Trump

Except she could easily make more in the private sector. There are plenty of GOP nutjobs that would hire her.

Why not both? She gains notoriety among GOP nutjobs for being a "master bullshitter" at such a high position, then she goes off into the private sector commanding a much higher rate.
 
Uh huh, this is a totally bullshit narrative, probably being floated by people close to Conway as a way to start distancing her from the administration. She has always been an absolutely vile woman who defends the worst of the political right. Her client list has included Newt Gingrich, Mike Pence, Todd Akin ("legitimate rape"), and Ted Cruz. Go listen to her interviews during the 90s, she was just as big of a lying piece of shit then.

The usual right wing talking point: the message is less important than the dirty leakers, eh? This Scooby Doo routine of cursing the meddling kids but not bothering to refute the claim doesn't have a happy ending for the villain, just so you know.

Didn't she already gain that notoriety during Trump's campaign? I mean, she helped Donald Friggin' Trump to win the Presidential Election. What more does she need on her C.V.?

This makes her worse, in my eyes. She helped elect a man who has no respect for her gender. She's an awful pile of human garbage.

Agreed. Drinking the Kool-Aid is much more acceptable thank knowingly spreading misinformation for a proto-fascist. How could you live with saying the things she has if you don't actually believe it?

I'm pretty sure not too many people are going to be up in arms about the Morning Joe hosts going public about off the record conversations exposing Kellyanne Conway as a vile person who doesn't even buy into the bullshit she's saying
 
IT is obvious, GOP people are half and half. Half are about the money and half are true believers

LOL, their panel is actually pretty good. But Joe and Mika are clown shoes

I'm not a fan of the trend of using "on the record" to spread blatant lies and misinformation. Respect the dignity granted by "on the record" or don't be surprised if you taint any respect for "off the record" in the process. One doesn't really work without the other.

I'd rather they call her out on the record and not drag her through the mud for her off the record musings. Though I suppose they're technically not journalists, I wouldn't mind some journalistic integrity. I can think of loads of things a guest might discuss off the record that we would be very angry at Joe about if he repeated it. And I think if this story wasn't about someone that people hated, then they'd probably agree.

She makes around $179,700 a year for her work in Trump's White House. This ain't about money.

I'd imagine she made much more during the primary when she made these comments, and stands to make more after leaving a public post. Conway is very wealthy from her political consulting firm, and she and her husband have been wealthy enough to have a condo in Trump tower in Manhattan since the 1990s, which is how she first met Donald (interestingly because her husband did not want to be on the condo association board, so she agreed to do it instead of him)

She doesn't even NEED to sell out and she's doing it anyways....
is that supposed to be better?


Would it be better or worse if she believed the shit she takes money to say?

He's saying she's not doing it for money.

Personally I see that as worse. A way a lot worse because that puts her firmly in the Bannon category.

About $800k in 2016. And she wasn't even on Trump's campaign until what, sometime in July? She made waaaay more in the private sector than she is now as a government employee.

Morning Joe hosts went ballistic after the Comey firing. They aren't doing this to distance Conway. They are in attack mode against anyone. That's why they disclosed off the record information to make it more apparent what type of person Conway is, 100% untrustworthy and based on this specific lie, a true believer.
 
TangoAlphaLima said:
Power, fame, attention. The same reasons Trump is doing it. It's not like he's in it for the money.

EDIT: Also, she made these comments when she was on Trump's campaign. It doesn't explain why she still does it now for a lot less money.

With the new 2017 Mar a Lago membership rates alone, he just needs 2 new members to join each year to lap his annual presidential salary. These people scoff at the very idea of conflicts of interest.
 
Conway has a framed picture of herself in her house. She's in it for the stardom.

I would have (slightly) more respect for her if she actually believed the things she was saying on air, rather than just prostituting her dignity to spout bile that negatively impacts the entire country, if not the world, to make her already financially comfortable existence a bit more financially comfortable.

Must be some crazy water bill then.

All this amounts to nothing if you follow through with pushing the narrative or legislation in the end by the way. It's a systemic problem for the GOP atm.

Simple and effective point. She could literally be vomiting and crying after every interaction with Trump and I'd still have zero sympathy for someone who pushes his and the rest of the GOPs agenda in exchange for a paycheck.
 
wait, Kellyane Conway is a vile, lying scumbag that does not believe the shit she spews on national TV? I am so shocked rn you guys!!!!1!!!

Drag it.
 
If this is true, cry me a river. I'm tired of rich people complaining about their first world problems. Either step down from your oh-so arduous lives or just shut the fuck up.

All of the news channels have tried calling her out on the record and tried to have conversations in good faith but she has repeatedly thrown that back in their faces and doubled down, peddling bigger and bigger lies as a massive FU to anyone who just wants to know what this president might legitimately do to make things better for them and this country.

Despite that, I wouldn't advocate for leaking just anything she says off record, but what she says that goes towards refuting the toxicity of what she says on record? Yeah, I'm absolutely flexible about that. And let's not be naive as if she's not been a professional long enough in this marketplace not to know how to control exactly what she says off record as well, thus making it very probable that she expects this to make it public eventually.
 
Forget about what this makes Conway look like, I think this is mainly just bad for Trump. First of all, there's already all the talks about Spicer going. Spicer and Conway being let go at the same time would look awful.

Combine that with the fact that Conway wasn't let go when most of the media dropped her for lacking all credibility, if she was fired now, it's going to look like this was the reason, and was therefor true. And having to fire your own spokespeople because they hate you looks awfully bad.

I mean, he's not wrong.

If this was said to them in confidence, it's pretty fucked up that they're talking about it on live TV.

I would like to think that she told them they could talk about it, because she's about to say 'go fuck yourself' to papa Don.
 
So this tells us what we already know. She does this shit for the money. Not surprising. You have to figure that a lot of the "talking heads" who defend this shit and do the shit they do know it's wrong. They know what they're saying is bullshit. At the same time they want the money and power. Sadly spewing the shit they do to uneducated morons is how they get that as shown by Shithead getting the presidency and the republicans getting power.
 
so that makes her a whore right?
