Kellyanne Conway has complete meltdown in front of the television cameras
When things get bad for Donald Trump, he’ll send his surrogates in front of the television cameras to try to spin the narrative in his direction. When things get really bad for Trump, he’ll send Kellyanne Conway in front of the cameras so she can say something stupid, fall flat on her face, and cause a distraction. The trouble is, even Kellyanne can’t seem to pull it off anymore.
Kellyanne Conway decided today that neither she nor anyone she works with can possibly be racist against Asians, because she’s married to one (George Conway is half Filipino):

This is deranged, even for her. It’s yet another reminder that there’s no one in Donald Trump’s White House with any clue, any competence, or any psychological capacity to deal with the crisis at hand. Kellyanne Conway is the team mascot for the gang that couldn’t grift straight.
