Kellyanne Conway’s “cupcake” meltdown goes completely off the rails

Dear Palmer Report readers,

We all understand what a dark era we're heading into. Journalists will be prosecuted. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. Advertising networks can't be counted on. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight, because someone has to.

In that regard we're looking to start funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens or how dark things get. We've launched a reader supported fund, and we've already raised $2097 and counting. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can contribute here. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,

Even as Donald Trump has randomly injected potatoes into his ramblings for the second time in a week, his dumpster fire sidekick Kellyanne Conway is now oddly obsessed with cupcakes. It’s not clear if these people simply aren’t getting enough food or what, but Kellyanne’s meltdown is a particularly bizarre one.

Whenever a news cycle is going really poorly for Donald Trump and he needs to change the subject, he sends Kellyanne Conway out there to humiliate herself, so she’ll be the story instead. She happily obliged today, going on a bender about how if people are willing to stand in line to get a cupcake, they should be willing to stand in line to vote, and therefore nationwide vote by mail isn’t needed.

Nice try, Kellyanne, but this is pure gibberish. Just because some people choose to risk their safety by going out to get a cupcake during a pandemic, it doesn’t mean other people should have to risk their safety by going out to vote in a pandemic. Cupcakes are a choice; voting is a constitutional right.

In addition, Kellyanne Conway has recently voted by mail herself, thus negating her entire argument.
