So...today, Jake Tapper questioned Kellyanne Conway about the false and fear-mongering rhetoric. She actually said this: “When he (Trump) talks about the 47 years and the rate, I’m handed the information, I think you referred to it as well, that we have had an increase from 2014 to 2015.”
I think even Maggot would probably admit that "the highest in 47 years" does not mean "the highest in 2 years and one of the lowest in 47 years."
Anyway, Tapper wasn't having it this time. He told her, “(President Trump) said it’s the highest murder rate in 47 years and the media doesn’t report it. And, again, Kellyanne, the media doesn’t report it because it’s a lie, because it’s not true.”
That she peddled such crap today, so soon after referring to a massacre in the United States that never happened (in order to defend Trump's travel ban)....... is truly catering to the lowest common denominator.
I hope she regroups and can earn back some credibility if she's going to continue on the job. She'd referred to the fictitious Bowling Green Massacre two other times (Cosmo, TMZ) before getting busted out on the lie last week. It's a pattern across issues. I don't think credible media/people are going to let her go unchecked any longer, nor should they.
