Kellyanne Conway: Hillary Clinton Should Condemn Violence At Anti-Trump Protests
Source: Talking Points Memo
By ESME CRIBB Published APRIL 17, 2017, 10:57 AM EDT
White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway on Monday suggested that Hillary Clinton and Democratic Party leaders should condemn violence at protests against President Donald Trump.
Its very disturbing, Conway said on Fox and Friends. I would love to hear Democratic leaders of the party, instead of still talking about the election, move forward and help us negotiate.
She then cited Trumps victory in the electoral college, an upset win the President has touted several times since his inauguration amid his administrations failure to enact any other big-ticket policy.
You have people still trying to make it go away, and this is the President. This is the peoples house. This is their government, Conway said.

Who is it that keeps talking about the election, Kellyanne?

I gotta admit we do talk about the next election a lot. It's already moving up fast, and that scares the piss out of them.

(11,841 posts)These arent trump people faking a riot. And until someone proves otherwise, i'll believe its the same losers who tore up businesses protesting Bill Clinton in the 90s, W in the 2000s and Obama after that.
They're all young, mostly white, wearing similar attire, they have their own websites promoting violence. Expose who runs these sites and we'll see if they're right wingers. I say they're not

They really exist, so I'm not sure why anyone assumes the protestors in black masks are either Democrats or Republicans. "Black bloc" groups dress that way and, in my experience, most people dress the way that fits the norm for their group.

(4,742 posts)I really do. Right now they basically have nothing. And they know it. They know that so far the pResidency has been a failure. They couldn't repeal Obamacare, they haven't done one thing on tax reform, they know that the infrastructure bill will be very hard to accomplish. Two bombings the past two weeks have been met with no real gain in approval polls and skepticism on what the US policy is. The Trump base is very much into isolationalism and anti-world policing which Trump has flip-flopped recently. BIG protests are happening like this past weekend. The very Trump supporters who are sitting around waiting for new coal and manufacturing jobs are still waiting. They are still waiting for healthcare for all as Trump was quoted saying. The WALL is basically stuck in the mud with Congress not sure they will approve it, 10,000 ranchers in Texas opposed to it, bad PR with Americans who will end up walled off into Mexico basically.
Frankly they realize they got nothing. Except Twitter and buffoons to go onto Fox and Friends and make shit up.

(23,199 posts)Your freaking people planned the brouhaha in Berkeley a month in advance. You should apologize, but you have no shame and lie like a rug so will never tell the truth. Why are Drumpf et all still picking on Hillary? So stupid and pointless. Hillary had nothing to do with this, it's just pure hate from the right, trying to tag the left with your practices, over and over and over. Can it already, will ya? It's old, tired, trite and a total lie and you all know that for sure. When Drumpf goes to jail, then justice will be restored in America, until then, well, we're creeping closer and closer to the 4th Reich.

Yo, Earth to dumb bitch. 1st it's President Obama's fault for everything. Then it's HRC's fault for everything. Why in the hell would dhe or President Obama should step up and tell Americans to stop exercising their 1st Amendment rights, cause dumb bitch doesn't quite understand the Constitution.

(70 posts)I agree we should condemn the violence perpetrated at these protests. I watched quite a few videos of the Berkeley violence and some stuff was really wrong there. It will certainly impact middle of the road voters. One scene showed someone on the left smack a Trump supporter on the back of the head with a rock or something, while he was walking away. Dude started bleeding pretty bad. We should condemn the violence and disassociate ourselves from the anarchists just making trouble. I know there was plenty of violence from the other side as well and fighting back is one thing. However we should not be instigating it.

Maybe someone should say something, but it should be someone other than Hillary.

(12,618 posts)what the context was of the violence going on. For all you know that Rump supporter had just assaulted one of the anti-Trump protesters. As I wasn't there to personally witness any of it, I will withhold judgement on who started the violence first, but if there's one thing I'm certain of, if you think that these are just poor widdle Trump supporters exercising their free speech and being attacked by the big mean liberals and anarchists, then you are one seriously naive individual.

(1,397 posts)So you want Hillary to order the demonstrations to stop . . . as if she could.
Meanwhile, here are a few things I'd like for you to do:
1. STFD and STFU.
2. Go away.
3. Take Steve Bannon, Ivanka, and Jared with you.
4. Release Trump's tax returns (after all, it's not like we are asking for his birth certificate).
5. And, on your way out the door, kiss my redneck ass.

We shouldn't dance to their insane tune, and doing so only gives credence to their ongoing work of criminalzing protest.

Antifas and black bloc anarchists in Berkely don't give a damn what Democrats or Republicans have to say.

They can feast on enormous rats and even human excrement. ScummyAnne would enjoy this as IT has frequently been recoded spewing excrement from IT's mouth on cable news shows. Small children, slow adults, and the elderly are advised to avoid the ScummyAnne. There have been reports of large streams of filth flowing from the oral orifice of the ScummyAnne. These streams are an attempt to overwhelm unsuspecting prey items, allowing the ScummyAnne to suck the life force from IT's victims.

It doesn't matter what HRC thinks, really. She is not the President or the leader of the Democratic Party. Of course, her opinion carries weight. Obama's opinion REALLY carries weight.
But Dems don't take orders like Republican troops do. Republicans fall in line like little soldiers, to do the bidding of the party leaders (except for those gosh darn Tea Partiers, a thorn in the Republican side).
