Kellyanne Conway, Conservative Snowflake
Conservatives never tire of calling liberals snowflakes, but this Kellyanne Conway-Dana Bash kerfuffle proves once again that Americas most fragile snowflakes are conservatives.
Sunday morning on CNN, Bash asked Conway about the anti-Trump tweets issued by her husband, George, and Conway went ballistic. Its fascinating to me that CNN would go there, Conway said. But its very good for the whole world to just witness that its now fair game how peoples spouses and significant others may differ with them. On and on she went. She made it a gender issue when Bash said shed have asked the same thing of a man and Conway countered that Bash would not have.
Great TV, and in some ways a good answer. Conway has a point that people in public life shouldnt be held responsible for things their spouses say. And it sure looked prepared, as if shed just been waiting for someone in the fake-news game to ask it so she could unload and sent the Twitter needles into the red.
But come on. It was a totally reasonable and legitimate question, as Bash told my colleague Matt Wilstein Monday . Kellyanne Conway was relying on your average CNN viewer having no idea who her husband is. And indeed, if George Conway were some legal services attorney trying to save poor people from their eviction notices who had nothing to do with politics, then Bashs question would have been out of line.
