Kellyanne Conway to oversee White House efforts to combat the opioid overdose epidemic.

I have no words for this one ...

Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday announced that pollster Kellyanne Conway, 50, counselor to President Donald Trump, would oversee White House efforts to combat the opioid overdose epidemic.

More than 64,000 people died in the US of drug overdoses in 2016, largely from opioids such as heroin, fentanyl, and prescription painkillers. Trump declared a national public health emergency over the crisis in October, and calls have emerged for an opioids “czar” to lead crisis response efforts in the last year.

Looks like Conway has the job. Trump has asked her “to coordinate and lead the effort from the White House,” Sessions said at a news conference in remarks that went beyond prepared ones from the event.

“She is exceedingly talented,” the attorney general added about Conway.

and at lying, of course. Seems like those are the two top qualifications for a high profile job in the Dump administration.

BTW, where's Jared? He was supposed to be in charge of the opioide crisis. He's at LEAST as talented, according to Dump qualifications, as Kellyanne!
