On Saturday's AM Joy, Washington Post columnist and frequent MSNBC guest Jennifer Rubin was near breaking her own record for aiming vitriol at Republicans as she declared that "there is a special place in hell" for Kellyanne Conway because the White House advisor recently advocated voting for Roy Moore in spite of sexual molestation accusations against the Alabama Republican.

On MSNBC, WashPost's Rubin: 'Special Place in Hell' for Kellyanne Conway

After playing a clip of Conway from FNC's Fox and Friends suggesting that voters should vote for Moore, host Joy Reid turned to Rubin and posed: "So, yes, vote Roy Moore. I mean, and, Jennifer, and the idea that the guy who prosecuted two of the Klansmen who blew up the 16th Street Baptist Church and killed four little kids in the 1960s is weak on crime, is pretty breath-taking."

Rubin attacked Conway as she began:

Well, to quote Ivanka Trump -- who I never quote -- there's a special place in hell for mothers who defend accused child molesters, and that would be Kellyanne Conway. I have no words to describe how, really, atrocious, how despicable this is.

Then, without acknowledging that many Republicans have attacked Moore, Rubin took further aim at the Republican party as she added:

I do want to differ with Kurt (Bardella) in that he sees this noxious branch of the Republican party as a segment. Unfortunately, I think that is the Republican party. You can't kind of pass them off as some fringe group when it's the President of the United States, everybody in the White House, the head of the RNC, the Vice President of the United States. We can go down the line.

And let's face it. The party has already embraced someone who has been serially accused of sexual assault, that's the President. That's Paul Ryan. That's Mitch McConnell. That's everybody. So, listen, to make this distinction that somehow there are good Republicans on this issue and bad Republicans. This is the horror of Donald Trump which he has infested and deformed an entire national political party. And I think they're rotten to the core now, the whole lot of them.

There was no acknowledgement by Rubin of the Democratic party's own history of defending high-level political figures like former Senator Ted Kennedy and former President Bill Clinton in spite of sexual assault accusations. In fact, just a week ago, Rubin hit Democrats from the left to complain about some of them condemning Clinton sex scandals.

Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the Saturday, November 25, AM Joy on MSNBC:

KELLYANNE CONWAY, WHITE HOUSE ADVISOR: Doug Jones in Alabama? Folks, don't be fooled. He'll be a vote against tax cuts. He's weak on crime, weak on borders. He's strong on raising your taxes -- he's terrible for property owners. And Doug Jones is a doctrinaire liberal, which is why he's not saying anything, and why the media are trying to boost him.

BRIAN KILMEADE, FNC HOST: So vote Roy Moore?

CONWAY: I'm telling you, we want the votes in the Senate to get this tax bill through.

JOY REID: So, yes, vote Roy Moore. I mean, and, Jennifer, and the idea that the guy who prosecuted two of the Klansmen who blew up the 16th Street Baptist Church and killed four little kids in the 1960s is weak on crime, is pretty breath-taking.

JENNIFER RUBIN, WASHINGTON POST: Well, to quote Ivanka Trump -- who I never quote -- there's a special place in hell for mothers who defend accused child molesters, and that would be Kellyanne Conway. I have no words to describe how, really, atrocious, how despicable this is. I do want to differ with Kurt (Bardella) in that he sees this noxious branch of the Republican party as a segment. Unfortunately, I think that is the Republican party. You can't kind of pass them off as some fringe group when it's the President of the United States, everybody in the White House, the head of the RNC, the Vice President of the United States. We can go down the line.

And let's face it. The party has already embraced someone who has been serially accused of sexual assault, that's the President. That's Paul Ryan. That's Mitch McConnell. That's everybody. So, listen, to make this distinction that somehow there are good Republicans on this issue and bad Republicans. This is the horror of Donald Trump which he has infested and deformed an entire national political party. And I think they're rotten to the core now, the whole lot of them.

REID: Yeah, Kurt, isn't that the case? I mean, the Bannon wing owns the party now. They've taken over. Ideologically, Paul Ryan runs behind the President, you know, like a fan. They're all in lockstep. How can you make a distinction?

KURT BARDELLA, ENDEAVOR STRATEGIES: Well, in any event, I don't disagree with that, Jennifer, at all. I mean, no one has been more vocal about the rotting core that Steve Bannon and Donald Trump have perpetrated on this Republican party than I have. It's why I barely consider myself a Republican at this point, and spend almost every day speaking out against them --

RUBIN: Come on out, Kurt, you'll like the weather out here.

Did you have to do that? That gives anyone a nightmare

On Saturday’s AM Joy, Washington Post columnist and frequent MSNBC guest Jennifer Rubin was near breaking her own record for aiming vitriol at Republicans as she declared that “there is a special place in hell” for Kellyanne Conway because the White House advisor recently advocated voting for Roy Moore in spite of sexual molestation accusations against the Alabama Republican.

-

So, to this leftist jack-ass, Republicans are guilty until proven innocent (and are probably STILL guilty), and anyone who thinks otherwise should burn in hell. Democrats, on the other hand, should be given the benefit of the doubt and a thorough investigation (by other Democrats, of course).

[ptsal]

Hope Mrs. Moore has Jennifer on the of Wapoopers to depose.

[Kaslin]

Naturally, what else?

[Anti-Bubba182]

I am glad they posted a picture.

[Nothingburger]

I was always under the impression that there was a special place in hell for people who make false accusations.

[papertyger]

Sorry. How 'bout the one cleaned up in Photoshop?

[mort56]

Just Remember Ms. Rubin is the Washington Post’s “conservative” representative and they actually believe it! It’s amazing how stupid they think we are out here.

[Flick Lives]

Drop dead Rubin and by that I mean drop dead, please.

[The_Media_never_lie]

The mainstream media is now taking reservations for special places in hell? Must be in cahoots with Satan!

[Tucker39]

Moore is not guilty. Rubin, et al know it. All the slime the Rats and McConnell have thrown at Moore hasn’t worked. He’ll be elected, and they know that, too. So Jennifer, et al are getting a severe case of the Red@$$ over it.

[marktwain]

She;s Jewish...I doubt that she’s an atheist.

---

Lots of “Legacy” Jews out there, who are not religious, or who are openly atheist/agnostic.

[SharpRightTurn]

JenRub bears a remarkable resemblance to Lois Lerner. Perhaps a distant cousin? Both seriously obsessed with attacking conservatives and even Republicans.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

She's Jewish...I doubt that she’s an atheist.

So, is she Jewish (a real Jew)...or "jewish". (a baby-killing, faggot-loving secular jew-o-cRAT)...ie: a JINO.

If the latter, then she's an atheist who belongs to a "jewish" social club.

[TXBlair]

I still haven’t figured out what Jennifer Rubin has done that is so impressive that she feels qualified to take constant shots at President Trump. Other than “gender reassignment” surgergy, if I had to guess...

[Okeydoker]

Hahahahaha!

[USCG SimTech]

Now that the “everyone is Hitler” has lost it’s luster, they’ve moved into the afterlife.

Tread very, very carefully assigning oneself the judgemental powers of God for your own eternity sake. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the only true unforgivable thing that even the Christ can’t cover you for.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Wow! Jennifer Rubin’s special place in hell is having to live in that body and look like that! Yikes!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Jennifer Rubin’s special place in hell is having to live in that body and look like that!

No wonder she's so full of hate.

[boop]

I haven't figured out just what "positions" Rubin, Noonan, David Brooks, Bill Kristol, and George Will take that are considered *conservative*.

They all have the same seething hatred of Trump, even though the President is actually governing as a true conservative.

They haven't seen ONE thing they like?

There do exist liberals who will say that the POTUS gets it right, at least on certain issues.

These RINO slugs are worse than any pinko writer from The Nation.

Just one continuous primal scream at the sky for no reason whatsoever.
