Kellyanne Conway's White Nationalist Retweet Is No Mistake

Asked about her retweet of Lib Hypocisy by BuzzFeed on Tuesday, Conway implied that she hadn't been in control of her account at the time. She said she "obviously" had no idea who Lib Hypocrisy was, adding, "I denounce whoever it is." The tweets were soon deleted.

Conway's move continues a long-standing pattern of Trump and his inner circle engaging with white nationalists and then claiming ignorance when confronted about it—as Mother Jones documented in multiple investigations since last summer. Other such "mistakes" include:

• Trump failing to disavow support from former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke when asked about it repeatedly on CNN, and then blaming a "bad earpiece."
• Trump appointing a white nationalist leader as a delegate to the Republican National Convention, and then blaming a "database error" for the move.
• Trump tweeting an image of himself superimposed over a picture of WWII-era Waffen-SS soldiers, and then blaming a mistake by an intern.
• Gen. Michael Flynn sharing a #NeverHillary tweet that said, "Not anymore, Jews. Not anymore," and then claiming it was a mistake.
