Kellyanne ConArtist: Doesn't matter if Baier Clinton indictment claim was true, "damage is done"

Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, on Thursday suggested it doesn’t matter whether the Baier’s report is true because it has hurt Clinton politically.

"The damage is done to Hillary Clinton,” Conway told MSNBC’s Brian Williams.

“No matter how it's being termed the voters are hearing it for what it is — a culture of corruption," she added.

As if we needed it spelled out why FOX did it.

Fox lied and "damage was done".

They don't care how they win or what lies are told, only that they win.

I would love to pass a law and anything a candidate or their surrogates say is actual testimony under oath.

of Con Job's Campaign,this was a planned strategy. Roger Alies learned his skills from the best,Lee Attwater and Company,just applied them to the Trump Campaign. They had the Media covering their backs and the rest is History. The American Electorate has the attention span of a knat,and in that lies the what we have seen.

If she ever gets another political job, it'll be helpful to invalidate anything she says.

Kelly Ann speaks and whenever gop pundits try to create their own realities.

From Suskind:

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

Doesn't matter if what Trump says is true or not. He's making it true by saying it. This is straight Orwell.

and it backfired on them. only FOX covered that story, which quickly was exposed to be false, and really exposed the Comey/Rudy/Trump/GOP collusion links especially w/the NY office.

.... all politicians and ESPECIALLY Republicans, learned long ago that you can say anything and a certain number of gullible moron Americans will believe it immediately. If you issue a retraction, half of them will never hear about it. Many of the remaining won't believe it since the original charge fits into their world view.

There used to be a fourth estate that kept this kind of bullshit to a minimum but that is over. A well-timed lie is a very valuable tool and one that is used often.
