Conway walks back Trump's threat to jail Clinton, calling it a 'quip'
By LOUIS NELSON 10/10/16 08:43 AM EDT

Donald Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway dismissed as “a quip” the Republican nominee’s threat at Sunday night’s debate to "jail" Hillary Clinton for her handling of government secrets if he becomes president.

1. Another surrogate was calling it a joke, really horrid folk

[workinclasszero]

12. Trump has told us who he is

He is a sexual predator, a cheater on his 3 wife's, a tax evader, a false Christian, a racist and a lover of strongmen fascists like Putin.

That's all I need to know. His spin doctors can't spin this horrible shit away.

There isn't enough spin in the world to overcome the horrible reality of Donald J Trump!

[relayerbob]

21. That was proof of his serial abuser personality

[workinclasszero]

24. Yes we have ample proof

of the dead soul of Donald J Trump.

I just wish I could vote for Hillary today so Trump can disappear back into the reich wing fever swamp.

2. The part about the special prosecutor too?

Bullshit!

[Lifelong Protester]

3. Well, that clears it up!

It was a "quip"-makes it harmless, I guess.

[workinclasszero]

16. Hitler: I will kill all the Jews

Goebbels: That was just a quip, relax.

[Lifelong Protester]

41. Right....

[Happyhippychick]

4. She also thinks "grab her by the pussy" is referring to picking up a cat.

But she can't walk back her huge "unless" gaffe of last night. Nobody was fooled by that one.

[FightingIrish]

5. When anything this cretin says can be dismissed as

a "quip", "sarcasm" or "locker room talk", why should voters believe anything he says?

[yellowcanine]

6. Ha Ha. Not. No one is laughing, Kellyanne.

[CincyDem]

7. Amazing that the underlying theme of his surrogate is...

..com'on guys, you know you can't take him seriously.

Can you imagine Robby Mook talking about HRC saying "nah - you can't believe she really meant that". lol.

It's looking like the dumpster fire is spreading to the entire GOP ticket. We can only hope...and GOTV !

[global1]

8. I Believe His Comments Threatening To Jail Clinton Were Pre-Programmed And....

rehearsed. I don't think that Trump is smart enough (or dumb enough depending on your perspective of him) to come up with that language he used to spout that in the debate last night - by himself.

I don't think this campaign staff anticipated the negative reaction it would generate in the MSM and today they are walking it back as a 'quip'.

[emulatorloo]

10. Straight out of Bannon's breitbart.com

Everything he said has appeared on breitbart

[stopbush]

13. Bingo! As Joy Reid pointed out post-debate, Trump recited the list

of fantasies that infest the fever swamps of Breitbart and the alt right.

[relayerbob]

20. Oh clearly they were

He's been fantasizing about that for months

[pinboy3niner]

11. Nice try, no cigar. nt

[Cha]

14. Bull shit. they have an avalanche of blowback so now they're lying.

Evidently she also said this..

17. So what does she mean by that?

They did it so its OK for Trump???

Damn

[Cha]

23. Who knows.. just deflecting with more lies?.. 'cause

she better watch her mouth unless she's prepared to back it up with proof like trump's tape that nbc provided.

[workinclasszero]

25. Yeah her boy is on tape!

And let's not forget the tapes that haven't surfaced yet.

The N word tape......

[Cha]

29. To the tapes that are still forthcoming

more shoes need to drop.

[workinclasszero]

31. Plenty of time for things to develop before the election Cha

[Gabi Hayes]

32. many people say she was there at the hot republican orgies back in the day. I'm not saying it, but

I've heard that people all over are saying it.

elf orgies

[tblue37]

38. Oh, good. Make sure the voters know this about all the GOP reps. A whole new "Hastert Rule"! nt

[TeamPooka]

43. They want to burn the GOP to the ground. nt

[DCBob]

15. So voters can't take anything this man says seriously..

He can always take it back and say it was joke or a quip.

[relayerbob]

19. A quip, a joke

He stood there and hollered directly at her, repeatedly, that she was going to jail. If anything demonstrated the actions of a serial abuser, that was it.

[tblue37]

39. Jabbing an aggressive, accusatory finger at har at the same time. nt

[Tanuki]

22. Classic bully/verbal abuser behavior: Make an outrageously insulting comment, then if there is

any pushback, blame the victim as someone who "can't take a joke."

[Chemisse]

26. It's just a quip until he has all the power.

Then it's vengeance.

And he has a long list of enemies.

[workinclasszero]

27. Exactly!

Longer than Nixon's I bet

[pkdu]

28. Looks like today is KAC's day off ( thankyou SNL)

[BSdetect]

30. Conway is the worst type of indulger

Just sickening how low she will go. Like most other of his shrinking supporters.

We know how you think Conway. Its blatant lying.

[dubyadiprecession]

33. Everything he says is a joke, when he has to back down from his derogatory comments.

Nobody's buying it kellyanne!

[Madam45for2923]

34. nah! He meant it! But thanks! Conway, for playing!

[Cakes488]

35. He could be live on air killing puppies and she would spin it for him...

and all with a that big toothy phony smile.

[Coyotl]

36. So now they say they will give the "devil" a walk. We can hammer them for that.

and

[NewJeffCT]

40. let's see what Trump says about that

if he gets any interviews outside of Sean Hannity this week.

[bluestateguy]

42. If there was really any risk of that

then Obama would just issue a blanket pardon to Hillary on January 19. You may issue a pardon before someone has been indicted (Ford to Nixon).
