Kellyanne Conway crossed the line. It was more salacious than funny. Just my opinion!

She deserved that portrayal, and more. She doesn't need or deserve defending here.

(18,124 posts)crossed ALL lines of human decency? Racially biased, bigoted and racist, obvious gender issues, sexual orientation, ICE already making sweeps for "illegals" in 6 states, nothing is off the table depicting these dangerous clowns in the WH.......SNL and any others brave and courageous enough to attack back must keep it up..."by any means necessary" and in any manner that brings attention to and shames these bigots in the WH.

(40,219 posts)She suffers from the Blind Ambition that John Dean wrote about years ago in the aftermath of Watergate. There is no line here.
She is the kind of person that lays shame to all competent and powerful women, women like Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton who channel their ambition in positive and constructive ways. The ambition that Kellyanne Conway possesses is one that corrupts from the inside out.

Now, showing Donny sneaking into Ivanka's bedroom at night - that might be crossing the line. But even that is fair play from his own words and how he touches and looks at her.
We need to take this man down.
