Kellyanne Conway says she is a victim of sexual assault


In a jaw dropping moment during a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, Kellyann Conway says she herself is a victim of sexual assault, but wouldn't elaborate on her personal experience. Yet, she also believes that she - and all other women who are victims of sexual assault - are responsible for their own conduct.

“I don’t expect Judge Kavanaugh or Jake Tapper or Jeff Flake or anybody to be held responsible for that. You have to be accountable for your own conduct,” she said to Tapper.

Women across the country were appalled by her answer, while others are questioning her motives and timing of her revelation. Two women on the CNN panel which followed Conway's appearance had some rather intriguing comments to make.

“The fact that she then adds on we have to be responsible for our own conduct, that is the antithesis of what so many women are saying,” Fordham University Prof. Christina Greer explained. “We are actually not responsible for men who overstep their bounds in sexual harassment, sexual assault or rape. So, yes, it’s great that she empathizes with women, however, she upholds an agenda from this particular president and this party that is antithetical to women’s rights and freedoms every day.”

Documentary film producer Liz Plank wonders where was Conway's empathy when 19 women came forward with sexual allegations against T-rump over the past few years?

“The women who came forward, the 19 women who say Donald Trump did something too in terms of sexual misconduct,” Plank noted. “We are living through really, really crazy times where the scope of an FBI investigation around a sexual assault is being determined by a person who brags about sexual assault. The president of the United States has bragged about engaging in sexual assault, is responsible for overseeing this whole investigation and that’s very scary.”

Whenever I don't think it's possible for this woman to make herself look any dumber than she has to date, she steps in it and outdoes herself.

Maybe she thought that because she's a woman admitting she'd been a victim of sexual assault she'd be spared criticism for saying things directly at odds with being a sexual assault victim. It's hard to know what goes through her head.

I’m waiting for Republicans to call her claim “ bullshit” since she never mentioned this before yesterday. I’m sure they’re reasoning is if she didn’t mention this in the past three years, then she must be making this up. That’s the kind of reasoning they have.

I never liked her. She's one of Trump's sycophants . . . . what did you expect. She's trying anything to get noticed again.

reply

What did I expect? To be honest, not a whole hell of a lot.

Though it's interesting her husband has been caught on twitter repeatedly criticizing Trump where he's felt compelled to delete his posts. Maybe she still has a job because she overcompensates to prevent from getting fired.

I wonder if she was sexually assaulted by T-rump? That would make her # 20. Though if she came forward and said she was assaulted by him, he’d insult her physical appearance.

reply

Yeah I can't really see her meeting his standard. For one she's too old. He's more into porn stars and playboy models.

Oh the irony of being a Democrat.

I haven't been a registered Democrat in decades and I don't consider myself one, so no I'm not a Democrat. But I am ideologically aligned to the left in case you're wondering. lulz.

And what is that irony of being a democrat? Do explain in your simplistic thinking.
