Counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway suggested Thursday that Democrats in Washington are quietly steaming about the upcoming release of Hillary Clintons book, telling Fox News they want her to either make herself useful or fade out of the limelight.
Initial excerpts from Clintons book, which details her failed 2016 presidential campaign and is titled What Happened, were released Wednesday on MSNBC. In them, Clinton recalls the second presidential debate, in which she accused Trump of standing too close to her. She said her skin crawled from Trump's behavior and that she had considered telling Trump to back up, you creep.
Without indicating the source of her intelligence on their thinking, Conway said Clintons forthcoming book has been a point of frustration for Democrats looking to move beyond last years election.
Look at the crackup of the left, she said. Youve got Hillary Clinton who Democrats are whispering all over this town they wish that this book didnt happen. That she would just either make herself useful or fade out of the limelight. Where is her bipartisan effort to try to help with infrastructure, meaningful tax reform or the opioid crisis that I work on in the building behind me every single day? We havent heard from her.

(7,814 posts)She's just reiterating what rethugs think and pushing the idea on those whose thoughts and motivations are completely beyond her.
In other words, she is projecting. May she fuck off and die.
