A Conversation With Kellyanne Conway: "I'm the Face of Trump's Movement The Hollywood Reporter

On the subject of Kate McKinnon playing her on SNL, top Trump administration aide Kellyanne Conway says: "Kate McKinnon clearly sees the road to the future runs through me and not Hillary."

There is no doubt that Kellyanne Conway is a formidable interview voice on behalf of Trump. She's aggressive and almost taunting against the media, chiding them regularly for selective coverage of events. Conway speaks with great authority and knowledge base, but we're all getting hip to her use of alternative facts.

During an interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthew that aired Thursday February 2 on 'Hardball' Conway defended Trump's aggressive executive order on Immigration, citing an 2011 "massacre" in Bowling Green, Kentucky that never happened.

"President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country, were radicalized, and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre. Most people don't know that because it didn't get covered," Conway said.

In truth, there was no "massacre". The Obama Administration did tighten security checks for entry into the US after two Iraqi refugees resettled in Bowling Green, Ky were arrested on charges of plotting to send weapons and money to Al Qaeda operatives in Iraq. We all make mistakes in misreporting events, but Conway's confrontational, maverick, alternate-truth style makes us wonder if her historical account was a deliberate misrepresentation.

Update: Cosmo writes on Feb. 6 that Conway told the same made-up Bowling Green massacre story in two interviews with the magazine's website. Cosmo printed neither comments because their fact checks came up empty. When the magazine reached out to the FBI, a spokesman emailed back that "a couple of your facts seem incorrect" and provided a link to a Justice Department press release, that "outlines all the public information and timeline."

The ACLU quickly jumped on Conway's false Bowling Green story, launching a fundraising campaign.

Presently Kellyanne Conway, Trump and Steve Bannon are real grizzly bears, and I take them very seriously. Unlike liberals demanding that Conway be stopped from appearing on liberal media, we at AOC do not bury our heads in the sand. Trump's crowd wants to bring this country to its knees, Lenin-style. Know thy enemy is important here. ~ Anne
