Kellyanne Conway: Spicer 'gave alternative facts' on inauguration crowd

When I was growing up, we called alternative facts "bullshit."

Wow! That was quick!

"gave alternative facts"

They already coined a phrase to replace/soften "Fake News".

Didn't Trumpy just say "when you are wrong, you apologize" over an inaccurate MLK bust story?

It's almost as if he's a hypocrite!

AdvisedWang · 39分前

Why would she bring it up again? At this point if feels like they are deliberately making this mistake loudly and repeatedly. Is this an attempt to distract from the women's marches?

Do you remember Baghdad Bob? He was amazing! He would look a reporter straight in the eye and lie his ass off. "Iraqi forces have defeated the American mercenaries and driven them back across the border." Meanwhile, American armored vehicles roll by in the background.

I think we may have another Baghdad Bob on our hands.

I don't know how long this woman can last. I swear with every new ridiculous claim made by Trump or his administration that she has to defend she looks more and more worn down. She's sending herself to an early grave (well, one can only hope)

Just1morefix · 42分前

Truly a Post-modern election and it continues post-election. Nothing is true, everything is relative. We don't lie we utilize alternative facts. Within 3 days we pretty much know how the next four years are going to look. "Statistics lie, pictures lie, professionals lie and we make up alternative facts!"

She misspoke and left out two words..."Alternative to the Facts" would be correct.

I also love how they keep saying that there are no ways to accurately measure crowd size (yes there are), but magically they know that the size was greater than any others.

Lied. They lied. Again. Because they know if little Donny doesn't feel validated he'll fire them all, he doesn't care how he gets validation or if it's even valid validation he just has to think that more people love him than that black guy. I am SO fucking done with this man child and we're only like a month or two in since he won, this pathetic excuse of a human being let alone a president is going to be there for 4 more years at least.

Is he going to launch a fucking nuke at his own cities if they don't enforce a law to sing a daily prayer to the great lovable supreme president Trump? It's fucking pathetic, but the people that support him either blind themselves to the truth or just don't seem to care that every single time they're being talked to, a lie is being told and that the only thing Trump cares about is looking good, he'll do some things to fix the country probably, because it'll make him look good. But if more people support destroying america than repairing him then he's going to destroy america so he can be loved by more people. They fucking support it. What. The. Fuck. Happened. America?! Were you that pissed off at having a woman after a black man that you'd rather have a mix between a donkey and a badly dressed gorilla? With the intelligence of a Goldfish.

I love her. She's so intelligent, and beautiful too. With her help, Trump will unify America. These are more alternative facts.

She is pretty good at deflecting off the complete craziness of Trump's actions. She apparently has no qualms with repeatedly lying and grabbing ahold of an alternate reality. Chick Todd is the man though. Held her feet to the fire.

Think about it. We now live in an America where the administration in the White House blatantly lies and calls it "alternative facts" God help us. And lets hope this doesn't catch on with our kids. Sadly, this is what we have to look forward to for the next 4 years.

watthefucksalommy · 29分前

And yet they freak the fuck out about unconfirmed intelligence. Not disproven or discredited, just unproven. But no, those are egregious and salacious falsehoods.

These? These statements we're making that are easily disproven by anyone with eyes or ears? Alt-facts, not lies.

Skidlybap · 27分前

And they might have to rethink their relationship with the press, because the press pushed them for the truth. That's great.

Leasure_time · 25分前

During the whole interview she does not answer a single one of his questions. I don't know why I expected the blatant deflection of questions to stop after the inauguration.

MHJeffries · 20分前

It was pretty telling how she smirked and chuckled throughout the interview. She know's she's giving a line of bullshit, and she seems to be okay with it. And when you call her on it she goes into "How DARE you!" mode, and uses that to run out the clock.

Buckle up, folks. We've got four years of this nonsense.

jrvw001 · 16分前

I would like to propose the #alternativefacts hashtag to spread some alternative facts about Conway, Spicer, and Trump.

evilqueenmarceline · 13分前

If you watch the full interview, when pressed on Sean Spicer's "provable falsehoods", she threatens Chuck Todd with cutting off their relationship if he continues to talk about the press secretary "in those types of terms." The whole idea of "oh the press is mean to me, so let me just discredit them and cut them off" is SO worrying. Really gonna be hard to keep an informed democracy moving forward.

SWAT_259 · 11分前

This is actually kinda scary

"Conway also suggested that Todd's insistence on asking why Spicer delivered a demonstrably false statement could affect the White House's treatment of the media."

The White House's treatment of the media should always be the same. So are they going to start banning certain agencies from reporting at the White House if these "problems" get worse?

chad303 · 9分前

So, our SITTING PRESIDENT is espousing a clearly and demonstrably false position and berating the media for telling the truth...

Can't say I didn't see this coming.

I just saw this on MtP. I think she knew as soon as it left her mouth how terrible that was. She hesitate just a moment right before she said it. It was as if she already committed, but at the last minute tried to bring it back. It was already on her tongue.

The next four years are going to be ... interesting.

I think the press should consider not speaking with Conway. She's a snake who exists only to package Trump's messages using the press as a mouthpiece.

Well, perhaps if you didn't tell demonstrable lies, and then double down on them by pretending they're not lies they're "alternative facts" people wouldn't laugh in your face.

There's no way to quantify crowds? Hmmmm, how can we possibly count the number of single individuals within a larger group? How is it possible to observe that one crowd is larger than another crowd? How!? /s

We tried to get your transcripts, but the school has no record of you attending. Did you lie on your resume?"

"No, no. Don't be silly. I was merely using alternative facts."

"If we're going to keep referring to the press secretary in those types of terms I think we're going to have to rethink our relationship here," she said

The only thing that needs to be 'rethinked' is your relationship with the truth.

"If we're going to keep referring to the press secretary in those types of terms I think we're going to have to rethink our relationship here,"

This is the scariest thing in that whole article; this is the second time I've seen them telegraph their intentions that they are looking for any excuse they can to straight up cut the press out altogether and only engage the people through official propaganda.

natpragz · 21分前

See, I could even almost get where she was coming from if Spicer actually did present facts that the media was generally avoiding. For example, "The weather may have affected turnout," or "Trump's inauguration (may have) had a higher turnout than any other Republican president's. In that case, they would be alternative facts - facts that are demonstrably true, but the media is ignoring.

I hope they either change their tune or eventually lose supporters. At this point, though, it feels like Trump could say that the sky is green and they'd tout it as an "alternative fact".
