Kellyanne Conway Is The Ultimate Conservative ‘cool Girl

... those men their lovers, husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, cousins, co-workers or beer pong doubles partners simply can’t be a feminist because all feminists are card-carrying members of the Society for Cutting Up Men is a silly but persistent cliche, based on a false definition of feminism that makes Don Quixote’s windmills look in realistic need of a good tilting. If you’re willing to work beyond the exhaustion of this ridiculous talking point, though — and I am, just barely — Conway’s I Can’t Be A Feminist, I Like Men Shtick is the key that unlocks an interesting cultural phenomenon. Conway is the ultimate conservative “Cool Girl.”. The idea of the Cool Girl comes from Gillian Flynn’s 2012 thriller “Gone Girl,” about Amy Dunne, who disappears on her fifth wedding anniversary after her marriage deteriorates.

Sources told The Washington Post that in January, then-acting Attorney General Sally Yates had warned the Trump administration about possible Russian blackmail  and suspected that Flynn misled officials, including Vice President Mike Pence , about ...

Law Professors File Ethics Complaint Against Kellyanne Conway Over 'lies

... those about the non-existent “ Bowling Green Massacre ” to justify Trump’s ban against travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries. Not only was there no massacre, but “Ms. Conway knew there was no massacre,” the filing states. The complaint also upbraids Conway’s touting of “alternative facts” — which are “not facts at all; they are lies,” the letter notes. Finally, Conway’s touting of products sold by the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump on national TV were a “clear violation of government ethics rules, which a lawyer and a member of the bar should surely know,” the document states. The complaint concludes that Conway’s “conduct, clearly violative of the rules that regulate her professional status, cries out for sanctioning” by the bar. There was no immediate response from the White ...

So Glad You’re Back, Kellyanne! We Missed You

... For sheer entertainment, though, it was hard to improve upon Kellyanne’s spontaneous on-air pitch for Ivanka Trump’s fashion products after Nordstrom announced it was dropping the line. “Go buy Ivanka’s stuff is what I would tell you,” Kellyanne chirped on “Fox & Friends,” adding, “I hate shopping. I’m going to get myself some today.”. She proudly characterized her riff as a “free commercial,” a clue that she was hilariously unfamiliar with the ethics rules prohibiting White House staff from endorsing products or companies. But that’s exactly the sort of carefree jabbering that makes her so darn fun to watch. We were crestfallen when Kellyanne got blackballed by CNN after her Bowling Green hallucinations, and we were elated when they let her back on the air. Then we were crushed again when she was banished from MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” for habitually saying false things. Talk about a double standard. Kellyanne’s boss says false things all the time, yet he’s never been barred from any TV programs. Just a few days ago the president stood before a pep rally in ...

A University Takes On One Of Its Own, Alumna Kellyanne Conway

... of alumni to fundraising, said Terry Hartle of the American Council on Education, “presidents tread very carefully. Losing the support of alumni is a very bad idea.”. But Mc Guire, the longtime president of the small women’s college in Northeast Washington, said she felt a moral imperative to speak out against the Trump administration — in particular for its policies on immigration and its lack of truthfulness — and Conway is not exempt from that. Conway said by phone Friday she was surprised to find her alma mater’s social media feed full of partisan retweets and snarky comments. “It’s a disappointment to have the president of the university lift up other Trinity graduates who have a casual relationship with the truth,” she said, citing House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as an example, “attack me, and never have the courtesy of calling or emailing me to ask what I meant on any given occasion.” Mc Guire had looked at ...
