The Time Trump's Campaign Manager Called Americans "a Bunch of Pigs"

Yet now Kellyanne Conway is upset Hillary Clinton said Trump voters are "deplorables"

Immediately after the news broke that Hillary Clinton had said that half of Donald Trump's supporters were racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, or Islamophobic and belonged in a "basket of deplorables," Kellyanne Conway, the GOP presidential nominee's campaign manager, tweeted: "One day after promising to be aspirational & uplifting, Hillary insults millions of Americans." And then she went on the warpath. On MSNBC on Monday, she lit into the former secretary of state:

One of the most candid moments for Hillary Clinton came Friday night when she actually—we got her true feelings about what she thinks about tens of millions of Americans. That is so personally offensive to me. I grew up with laborers…Sticking people in mass into categories is exactly what we shouldn't do as Americans.

Conway's outrage, though, was selective, because in the past she has slammed millions of Americans for acting like pigs. Yes, pigs. She called millions of people pigs. In January 2008, Conway was a guest GOP talking head on Fox News. With the subprime mess wreaking havoc on the economy, then-Rep. Barney Frank, a Democrat, had written an article explaining the need for greater government intervention to preserve the integrity of financial markets and to reverse unacceptable levels of income inequality. Conway, not surprisingly, criticized Frank's call for more government regulation of the markets. When the host asked if Wall Street too often takes advantage of Main Street investors, Conway went on a tear:

I think that's unfair because these people bought houses they could not afford. I mean, Julie, if you go out tonight and you spend $10,000 on a credit card and you make $8,000 a year, you could do the math. So people bought houses they couldn't afford. They know that. This country spends money like a bunch of pigs. They buy things they say that they need...when they actually want them. That's their business. But they should be in charge of their own economic sovereignty.
