Kellyanne Conway Massively Inflates Trump's Church Crowd

Source: Daily Beast

Updated Jun. 16, 2024 4:37PM EDT / Published Jun. 16, 2024 4:27PM EDT


It appears crowdflation and alternative facts are once again tools in Trumpworld’s arsenal.

Kellyanne Conway tried to draw some distinction between Donald Trump and Joe Biden during an appearance on Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday Morning Futures, noting that Trump was making outreaches to Black voters. “You got Donald Trump in Detroit talking to 8,000 people at a Black church,” she told Bartiromo.

However, what Conway failed to note was that Trump did not speak to 8,000 people nor was the majority of the crowd Black when Trump spoke at 180 Church in Detroit on Saturday.

A Reuters report noted that the crowd was a diverse mixture of white and Black attendees and “numbered in the hundreds, not thousands, and some attendees said they had just happened upon the scene by chance.” The report also said that the event was not at capacity once it started.

He looked like he was in a hostage video, and in a way he kind of was. I don't think he liked lying through his teeth constantly (and Baghdad Bob probably didn't, either), but Kellyanne seems to love it.

Steve Bannon comes to mind. There is an entire class of undead Trump supporters rising from the grave. Most of them stay dead but occasionally a zombie resurfaces.

For a minute.

A felon makes all these appearances in Democratic cities.

Voting software is breeched in November and the felon GAINS votes in Democratic cities.

Enough to win swing states.

Republicans claim it's because he campaigned there. Media sucks up to that explanation and it's a steal.

that were done in dark red districts during late 2020 and through 2021 and beyond, in order to get copies of the software (e.g., in Coffee County, GA, here in PA in our own Fulton County, Elbert County, CO, and the more well known Wake TSI audit mess in AZ), where the criminals are currently being prosecuted for these breaches, was an attempt to prepare for such a scenario (IMHO).

for 8,000 people. If there were that many people in there (of course there were not), seems like the local fire marshal would have a few things to say.

Let's see, (8,000 lie / 180 capacity) x 100 = an overinflated "estimate" of 4,444.44%.

Quite the definitive take on "alternative facts", Kellyanne!

And she never appeared again on that show. Say what you will about "Morning Joe," but Mika was one of the first media people who axed her firmly right from the start.

I wish that the two of them had axed 45 right from the start (I happened to have seen/heard that original oogling "phone in" by 45 on their show) and then we wouldn't have had to even deal with a Kellyanne Con-them-today.

that they neither conceived nor expected that "Americans" would be that stupid to vote for a fraudulent, 6-times bankrupted sexual assaulter with zero experience in elected office, let alone having zero work history in any government or military function. But he was able to get millions of the scum of the earth who were non-voters, to actually vote for him because of that checkered past.

But it was because of the Mercers that she went to work on Chump's election campaign in 2016. Then he won so she got a job in the White House. The entire time she was secretly in contact with the Mercers, keeping them up-to-date on what Chump was doing as president. For all we know, maybe she never left their employment.

I'm just spit-ballin' here, because she's old enough to retire and live off the profits of her bestselling books.
