As Donald Trump’s White House collapses, Kellyanne Conway sneaks out the back door – literally
Donald Trump’s White House is collapsing in real time. His advisers are resigning, flipping on him, and/or going to jail as we speak. His decision to take immigrant children from their parents and lock them in cages has backfired, causing the most furious uproar against him to date, and he’s begun backing down. So how are Trump’s remaining co-conspirators handling the end of the road? One of them is sneaking out the back door – literally.
Kellyanne Conway attended an congressional event yesterday about the opioid crisis. CNN reporter Daniella Diaz was there, and tried to speak with her. Here’s how it went, according to Diaz: “Just tried to grab Kellyanne while she was at a Hill opioids event and was courteous with her staff about wanting to talk to her … she left through a back door to avoid me.”
CNN’s Jake Tapper responded to his colleague Diaz’s tweet by adding “Womp womp,” the noise that former Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski had made the night before while trying to make fun of an immigrant child with Down Syndrome who had been forcibly separated from parents. Kellyanne Conway responded to Tapper by insisting that she hadn’t seen Diaz. Based on Conway’s consistent and pathological track record of lying, we’re sure she’s lying about this as well.
How much worse can things get for Donald Trump’s remaining advisers like Kellyanne Conway? Four of Trump’s former advisers have already been arrested on felony charges; three of them have pleaded guilty and the fourth is sitting in a jail cell. At least a dozen of Trump’s current and former White House advisers have been exposed to criminal liability for participating in Trump’s obstruction of justice schemes, and will presumably be indicted in the end. Trump’s child concentration camps will result in decades of criminal trials for Trump and everyone around him. The advisers who are still in the White House with him are the most likely to end up with the longest prison sentences.
