When Even Kellyanne Conway Can't Come Up With An Alternative Truth

andrew kaczynski @KFILE 1h1 hour ago

Kellyanne Conway was asked about Sarah Sanders false claims about 4K terrorists at the border: "It got unfortunately confused by my colleague...That was an unfortunate misstatement. Everybody makes mistakes, all of us. The fact is — it’s corrected here.”

Just goes to show the only loyalty to anyone is to self and to the idiot in chief. When it comes to defending others - well too bad.

...bending over backwards to spin her alternate universe of truth for the president.

It's notable she's forced here to knock down of the pretexts Trump had planned for his power-grab, national emergency declaration tonight.
