"I think you're looking at the wrong set of facts here, Anderson," Conway shot back...



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/youre-looking-at-the-wrong-set-of-facts-kellyanne-conway-goes-to-war-with-cnns-cooper-over-comey-firing/

In a long and combative interview on CNN, White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway battled with CNN host Anderson Cooper over the stunning firing of FBI Director James Comey by President Donald Trump, one time telling the CNN host, “You’re looking at the wrong set of facts, Anderson.”

Cooper pressured Conway over the White House’s contention that Comey was fired because of the way he handled an investigation of Hillary Clinton, saying, “As a candidate, Trump praised James Comey, Donald Trump talked about this on the campaign all the time. All of a sudden, the White House is concerned about James Comey’s handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails?”

“I think you’re looking at the wrong set of facts here, Anderson,” Conway shot back. “In other words you’re going back to the campaign. This is the president of the United States, he acted decisively today, he acted at the direction of his deputy attorney general. He makes complete sense because he has lost confidence in the FBI director and he took the recommendation of Rob Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who has been on the job for two weeks.”

Cooper continued to push Conway who grew increasingly combative and snippy with the CNN host.

Why?
There is no reason.
She is useless, a liar, a waste of skin, bone and plasma and one of the just plain ugliest, filthiest human beings I have ever seen or heard.

Let me repeat, "Rob Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who has been on the job for two weeks."

Makes one wonder if his hiring was exclusively in anticipation of the advice to fire Comey, eh?

Filed under, "Things to Ponder".

Hmm...

or on campaign when it comes to consistency. She is trying to make a distinction that does not matter. Typical.

16. What?? Kellyanne getting "increasingly combative and snippy"????

Surely you jest.

Kellyanne has been in a straight jacket in the basement of the White House only being allowed out in certain safe zones (Fox Noose) until they needed all hands on deck to deal with the onslaught of questions regarding tRump's latest action. Who better than their snippiest and most combative mouthpiece, comrade Kellyanne?? The fact that she just gets more agitated and snippy as the interview fails to stay on the track she wants is reason enough to send her out. No one takes umbrage quite like her.

While she infuriates me, at the same time, she is laughable in her pathetic attempts to change the narrative to one she finds more acceptable.

I turn the channel as soon as I see that smug mug. Nothing she says is worth a shit anyway. EVERYTHING that comes out of her mouth is a lie. I agree with a post above - why even have this piece of garbage on your show? You're better off just talking alone.

This woman in my opinion always looks hung over, spaced out, pilled up, haggard and disgusting all rolled into one human body.

She reminds me of the scene in the "Witches of Eastwick" where the woman starts puking the cherry pits.

I mean, could she at least, comb her hair?
