Conway: I won't allow media to blame Trump after London attack

Criticism directed at President Donald Trump over his flurry of Twitter activity related to the London terrorist attack over the weekend is misguided, counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway said Monday morning, the result of a press that she suggested is eagerly critical of Trump even amid more pressing situations.

The media, Conway said, has “this obsession with covering everything he says on Twitter and very little of what he does as president.” Conway blamed that obsession for the uproar that began over the weekend when Trump hurled a political attack across the Atlantic, writing online that there had been “at least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is ‘no reason to be alarmed!’"

The quote selected by Trump was a misleading one. London Mayor Sadiq Khan had not downplayed the seriousness of the terrorist attacks but had instead sought to reassure residents that they should not be alarmed by an increased police presence. In response to the president’s tweet, a spokesman for the mayor said “he has more important things to do than respond to Donald Trump’s ill-informed tweet that deliberately takes out of context his remarks.” But Conway chafed Monday morning on NBC’s “Today” when asked if the president owed Khan an apology for misleadingly quoting him.

“I'm not going to allow, a day and a half after terrorists did it again, whether they're ISIS-inspired or ISIS-directed, they're savage murderers, it's an evil slaughter as the president said last night,” the counselor to the president said. “I'm going to not let him be seen as the perpetrator here. For every time you said Russia, imagine if you said ISIS. Every time you say Twitter, imagine if you said terrorist.”

1. "... what he does as president..."

Unfortunately, that's what the media is covering.

[spanone]

2. she's just totally full of shit.

she makes no sense whatsoever.

[Blue_Adept]

3. It's trite but I still can't imagine any other administration getting away with this

It's just so numbing and so constant.

[tanyev]

4. But Kellyanne, he's said so very much and done so very little.

[gademocrat7]

5. A pathological liar.

Just another evil member of the chump cabal.

[Tanuki]

6. "I'm not going to allow..." A bit grandiose, Ms. Conway.

You're not actually in a position to allow or disallow what others think or say.

[Enoki33]

7. Think her Propoganda minister title has gotten to her head.

[onecent]

17. Amen Tanuki!!!

[Lotusflower70]

8. Whatever

STFU KellyAnne. Your words are a testament to your character of which you have none. Same goes for the Chump you work for. He is Asshat in chief via Twitter. That's his chosen medium and that is what the people are responding to. He rants and raves like a lunatic. No matter what she thinks, there is no defense for that.

15. +1000

[Orsino]

9. No one's blaming him for London, Conway.

He's being blamed for his stupid, childish tweeting.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

16. +1000

Exactly!

[MineralMan]

10. Kellyanne, what you will or won't "allow" is irrelevant.

The sooner you recognize that, the better. Go talk to Trump, if you're concerned about his tweets. He's the one posting them. It's what he thinks. That will be reported, and there's not a damned thing you can do about it.

So, save your scolding. Nobody cares what you say.

[onecaliberal]

11. Listen up you fetid twit. We don't give two shits what you'll allow. That piece of maggot shit

Works for us. He's a god damn criminal as is the entire party and apparatus. So please forgive me if I have zero fucks to give.

[Rollo]

12. I will not allow Trump to use this attack to criticize London Mayor Khan, or to try to use this to..

... to justify a proposed racist immigration ban ...

Kellyann Conway can just suck eggs.

13. Of course.

KA is paid to take a bullet intended for the president just like the SS Detail is.

[oasis]

14. Conway going way off the deep end as the Comey testimony closes in.

[onecent]

18. Maybe she can't afford the 7 million dollar home....do ya think???? 8 bedrooms...

She'll need to get a couple of maids.

[oasis]

19. Maybe periodic maid service. Conway's strictly low maintenance.

I doubt she'll take better care of her surroundings than she does of herself.
