Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway on Sunday said that mayhem caused by an executive order barring travelers from select Muslim countries was a small price to pay for the safety of Americans.

During an interview on Fox News, host Chris Wallace asked Conway if the administration had made a mistake by failing to think through the chaos that would be caused Trumps executive order, which triggered the detention of permanent U.S. legal residents at airports across the country.

Youre talking about 325,000 people from overseas came into this country just yesterday through our airports, Conway replied. Youre talking about three hundred and some who have been detained or are prevented from gaining access to an aircraft in their home countries and must stay for now.

Thats 1 percent, she pointed out. And I think in terms of the upside being greater protection of our borders, of our people, its a small price to pay.

UPDATE:

Conway Claims Judge's Ruling 'Really Doesn't Affect' Trump's Executive Order

Senior Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway said in an interview Sunday morning that a federal judge's ruling "really doesn't affect" the President's executive order banning refugees and immigrants from certain countries from entering the United States.

"The judge in Brooklyn, the Obama appointee judge in Brooklyn's stay of order really doesn't affect the executive order at all, because the executive order is meant to be prospective," Conway said on "Fox News Sunday."

Conway said that the list of countries from which travelers have been banned was "offered by President Obama and his administration."

"These are countries that have a history of training, harboring, exporting terrorists," Conway said. "And one thing that's very important to recognize, whether you're the Orlando shooter, yes, he was born here but went abroad and was radicalized on the internet, if you are San Bernardino, if you are the Tsarnaev brothers in Boston, these are people who traveled abroad, were radicalized, were trained, and then came back and did their bloodletting, their massacre, here on American soil."

None of the perpetrators of the Orlando, San Bernardino and Boston marathon attacks were from or had traveled to any of the countries covered by Trump's executive order.

1. Ugh. always reminds me of this

2. A Machiavellian, with terrible ends, as well.

3. Kellyanne, she-wolf of the SS

Sorry but no. You do not get your way, you nazi clown.
We'll keep marching and fighting for our Constitution and
national values. While you, my hatchetfaced dear, can
fuck right off.

4. All prices are small when someone else pays them...

At least to someone like conway.

[neeksgeek]

5. Yes, because we're all in mortal danger from a professor at Clemson University

Just because that individual is from Iran.

Question: how long before they start applying DNA tests to the populace, and making deportations on that basis?

[rzemanfl]

6. Yet that (insert word here) thinks one percent should own the U.S. n/t

[angstlessk]

7. Let's see, 6 million was what percent of the German/Occupied countries?

[Docreed2003]

8. Such a "small price to pay"...

To use the Constitution as toilet paper.

[lark]

9. Complete lying BS

Orange sewer rat barbie is as bad as orange assface. The whole thing is a complete trumped up lie or Saudi Arabia and Egypt would be included, but he does business in those countries so they were excluded. Someone needs to take him to court over that. Saudi Arabia is a cauldron for radicalism and most terrorists on 9/11 came from there, not Syria, Iraq or Iran.

11. Three hundred and some out of 325,000 people is about 0.1%, not 1%

“You’re talking about 325,000 people from overseas came into this country just yesterday through our airports,” Conway replied. “You’re talking about three hundred and some who have been detained or are prevented from gaining access to an aircraft in their home countries and must stay for now.”

“That’s 1 percent,” she pointed out.

Still 300 and some too many.

13. don't worry, it's just alt-math

... you know, like losing by three million votes is a mandate.

[ck4829]

18. Ha.

[Kber]

12. I seem to value our constitutional rights more highly than she does.

[DallasNE]

14. Conway: It's All Obama's Fault

Conjob Conway says some really stupid stuff and this was REALLY stupid. Then we learned that Bannon overruled DHS on the green card ban? Why even have DHS if you don't heed their advice. But then we could see all of this coming from 100 miles away. And this week William Pryor will be nominated for the Supreme Court so the idiocy will continue unabated.

[Solly Mack]

15. "Small price to pay" as long as you're not the one paying the price.

Fuck her and everyone who thinks like sh does.

"Small price" is not so small when it harms people.

Disgusting female. A small price to pay would be deporting her (and the rest) to absolutely anywhere else.

[notdarkyet]

16. The White House needs fumigating. Wipe out all the nasty bugs.

[orangecrush]

17. ...

[isitreal]

19. boycott trump industries

Trump and gang are in love with the power their money gives them. I think starting a Trump industries boycott could go a long way to show him the power WE have. Ongoing Demonstrations at his properties around the world would go a long way to make people not want to book there as who wants trouble when traveling.. People around the world could really show this is about Trump this way. Let the media start showing all these people outside his hotels where it will have a bigger personal impact on him and his ego. I like to live by voting with my wallet. If an executive has bad behavior, says stupid things, I choose not to use their services.

Chew on that Conway, you vapid twit.

[AgadorSparticus]

21. Of course it is for you pieces of shits. We know your agenda too.

And we will fight you tooth and nail. Bank on that!!
