Conway says she misspoke on Iraqi terrorists, calls some critics ‘haters’

Kellyanne Conway admits she made a mistake in talking about a Kentucky massacre that never took place. But that’s not all she has to say about it.

In an interview airing Sunday on “Media Buzz,” President Trump’s counselor called some of her critics “haters” and said she corrected her error as soon as she learned about it. The misstatement has drawn substantial media attention, given Conway’s high profile.

“They’re masterminds, I had said that before,” Conway told me. “I should have said plot or I should have just called them terrorists. … I clarified immediately. I should have said terrorists and not massacre.” Still, she said, “I’m sure it will live on for a week.”

It’s time for this Administration to treat the MST (Main Stream Tabloids - Previously known as Media) as hostile; perhaps even enemy combatants and insurgents.

Their reporting of this Administration is nothing more than Anti-American Propaganda of the worst kind so why should this Admin give them questions to ask. Just give a brief report daily and don’t answer any questions unless they are vetted and considered carefully.

I should said “time to ask questions” but I bet most knew what I meant.

Obama said 57 states repeatedly and the media still swallowed not spit

For 8 years

I think they should be called Jihadis. “Terrorist” is not nuanced enough.

Complete nonsense. I don’t know why they even answer questions from the lamestream media

If all the mocking done on the internet is any indication I'd say a week at least.

"Murdering rapists" works pretty well.

Between this and “alternative facts” I’d say that the Peter Principle is in effect.

Let’s not lose Kellyanne. We’ve already lost Monica.

Totally overblown joke of a controversy. But she needs to tighten things up. Between this and the “alternative facts” quote she’s feeding the whole fake news narrative.

So in late October when the NYT said there was ZERO chance of Trump winning the presidency, and KellyAnne said numbers were turning and Trump was going to win...

...at that point YOU side with the Times while KellyAnne is an idiot for having alternate numbers?

In recent weeks and months I would say that the "alternate facts" provided by the Trump people, including KellyAnne, have been far and away more accurate than anyone else's.

I remember when the idiot Obama claimed that he had campaigned in 57 states. On video tape! He was never challenged on that. There was no newspaper article.

If it weren’t for double standards, the media would have no standards at all.

She was awesome during the campaign. Now with her promotion, not so much.

The Bowling Green detainees were plotting a massacre.

She was only a couple of words off.

The double standard is breathtaking! And in another ridiculous overreach, my husband looked up ‘harrier/osprey’ on Google to read about the one that was lost, and every story was about Trump making a mess of the mission in Yemen. I can’t help but believe that more and more people are getting fed up with Big (Democrat) Media!

Even at his last press conference in the WH press room he praised the press and told them that he didn't expect them to be sycophants. Problem was he mispronounced the word "sycophant" as "sink co phant."

Anybody in the press report this latest blunder from the "smartest President to occupy the Oval office? Of course not!

By the way if you would like to hear his very obvious mispronunciation it is right at the beginning of his news conference at the 2:01 mark. It is very easy to Google it.

Pathetic.

Hillary talked about the attack in Bosnia and the media ignored that lie.

I like “pigdog murder muzzies” myself, but it hasn’t caught on.
