IS SHUT THE HELL UP! She talks over every host that attempts to interview her, never allowing the host to get a word in edgewise. The trick to defeating Kellyanne? Don't book her on your show. Simple as that. Let her sit in the White House and quickly go insane because no one is talking to her.

She does it all the time, like in the video she uses the interviewers politeness to get away with it

The rest of the news media and talk shows should do likewise. She can't be a spokesperson for Trump if nobody will have her come on their shows.


See how easy that is?

They would have nothing to complain about if they did that and filling that Breathless 24/7 Infotainment Cycle takes some noise between the ads for Big Pharma.

I got a good chuckle at the 5:10 mark when the narrator guy looks to the next screen on his left and jumps back.

One thing he didn't talk about, was that she is also getting through important talking points, usually lies, that Trump and the Republicans want disseminated. She'll answer a question about Trump's bad behavior with some alternative 'fact' about how the Democrats/Obama/Hillary have screwed something up. Or brag about Trump's accomplishment in the economy (that Obama re-built).

What it does is leaves you, a Democrat, with a raging headache. But what it leaves any Republicans watching, or undecided fence sitters, is those talking points branded into their brains. She usually leaves any interview winning, because she understands her one job there is NOT to answer any question, at least in the way they want her to, but to shore up any Trump doubters with alternative facts and reaffirmations of Democrats deceitfulness. She ends with a smile and wink and looking smug and winning, while the pundit looks confused and disheveled. And optically, some would assume that she pwned the pundit......thus all what she said was probably on the money.
