The Kellyanne Conway meltdown transcribed.

Courtesy of Will Saletan, who transcribed a part of her interview with Chris Wallace this AM:

I spoke for 35 minutes on three network Sunday shows. You know what got picked? The fact that I said "alternative facts." Not the fact that I ripped a new one to some of those hosts...Not one silly political analyst and pundit who talked smack all day long about Donald Trump has been let go...Who's the first editorial writer - where's the first blogger that will be let go, that embarrassed his or her outlets?... The election was three months ago! None of them have been let go. If this were a real business, if the mainstream media were a thriving private-sector business that actually turned a profit... 20 percent of the people would be gone. They embarrassed, they failed to protect their shareholders and their board members and their colleagues. And yet we deal with them every single day. We turn the other cheek. If you're part of Team Trump, you walk around with these gaping, seeping wounds every single day. And that's fine. I believe in a full and fair press. I'm here every Sunday morning. I haven't slept in in months.


Now think about that. Any media figure who disagrees with Trump should be fired. And with a hugely, bigly dose of self pity.

Who can blame her for sputtering idiotically? Tough nuts when you get busted for lying all the time.

of people should agree with her or get on board because the election was three months ago, despite the horrible actions they're taking. Thinks news people should be canned if they disagree with tRump's unAmerican executive orders.

Can't wait for her comeuppance and for proceedings that are surely coming.

she plastered on throughout the entire campaign! And who are these Trump people who "turn the other cheek"? Also the press is supposed to report on the news, NOT protect shareholders lady.

Well, I have to admit she does look like she hasn't slept in months though. In that she appears to be truthful.

But I guess if you're one of the walking dead it doesn't really matter.

They are driven by profit so they follow Fox down rabbit holes

You, Kellyanne, are no longer in the private-sector. You are a GUBMINT employee. You know that, right?

Also Kellyanne, those "gaping, seeping wounds" you're martyring yourself about? If you all want those to heal, you should put the knife down and stop cutting yourselves.

. . . as we know from his inclusion in the NSC meetings. She has not received the respect she believes she is due from Trump himself and is taking out her frustrations.

Now she's trying to get back in Trump's good graces by amping up her fascism toward media. It might work.
