Kellyanne Conway Blames Synagogue Shooting on 'Anti-Religious' 'Late-Night Comedians'

Source: Sean Burch,The Wrap

In a Monday morning appearance on Fox News, Kellyanne Conway suggested “anti-religious” late-night comedians fostered an environment for the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting to take place.

“The anti-religiosity in this country that is somehow in vogue and funny to make fun of anybody of faith, to constantly be making fun of people that express religion — the late-night comedians, the unfunny people on TV shows — it’s always anti-religious,” Conway said, without naming particular hosts.

Conway added: “This is no time to be driving God out of the public square.”

So ..... she's admitting people with a public platform can influence others to act? And that the content of public statements can trigger lunatics? Did trump approve this message???

That has about as much relevance to a guy walking into a synagogue to stop George Soros from importing American-destroying immigrants from Honduras.

Perhaps the devout Catholic will use his "confessions" skit to prove how he's "anti-religious."

Modern antisemitism has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with religion! It is essentially a RACIST movement!

Please forgive the caps, but I get angry when I see how stupid some people are. Especially when they're running the government. Makes me want to scream!

She is just another fast-talking grifter, con-artist, and swindler trying to divert the blame for what she, her boss, and the rest of the Trumpster gang have done to our country. I expect that she will experience what happens when one tries to heckle gifted comics. It would be good fun, except that the circumstances are horrific and she has no capacity to experience shame.

The preachers have been saying this shit since the 1960's. "If you play the Beatle's Sgt. Pepper album backwards, it says Praise Satan".

It was all BS then, just like it is BS now. Sometimes things played backwards simply sound intelligible (just like preachers). They complained about one song "telling people to smoke marijuana". (If they themselves had listened, we wouldn't be discussing this...)

Here's 15 songs played backwards:

Maybe he is trying to soften his wife's image and her lies and the damage done to this country by this administration? I would love to think that he really is in the resistance, but i trust none of them. More likely a ploy to achieve a different end?

That's always been their argument. You can be a crazy person and rant about god in public, doesn't guarantee anyone will listen.

What late night comedian has made anti-God jokes? What late night comedian has made fun of someone for their religious beliefs?

The man that walked into that synagogue did not come out spouting anti-God rhetoric; he came out of that synagogue spouting anti-Jewish, anti-George Soros, and anti-caravan rhetoric. He came out spouting the same things Trump and his friends on the right have been spouting for weeks in order to get political gain. Kellyanne Conway claiming that the synagogue shooting was the result of the actions of the left is yet again Republicans and Donald Trump refusing to take responsibility for their actions.

As usual, Kellyanne has no idea what she's talking about.

Soon trump will be calling on his "base" to attack comedians he doesn't like.
