I spent the past 4 days watching Kellyanne Conway and Paris Dennard eat their boss’s words. I could almost hear in the far-off distance Donald Trump’s puckered lips parting and end a phrase with the words, ‘and like it.’ Ms. Conway who is looking more and more guilty these days, is described as a pros’ pro. The President’s counselor has a law degree, headed a polling firm and chaired the Ted Cruz for President campaign. Paris Dennard, the former President George W. Bush’s Director of Black Outreach is going to need new clothes soon. The heat of your soul burning must be hard on a wardrobe. Commendably, Mr. Dennard has been a true believer in Republican politics since he debuted at the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia in 2000 at age 17.
The sad part is, these people had impressive reputations among the media and their peers but are now routinely taking incoming fire to their personal credibility for President Trump. They have been so overexposed to the barrage of Trump lies, that they now show up unprepared to be confronted by the truth. Just recently during a three-way interview with panelist Symone Sanders and Michael Eric Dyson, Mr. Dennard casually suggested that Professor Dyson’s partisanship toward former President Obama would not allow him to critique his performance. Well Paris, a google check would have saved you from opening mouth and inserting foot. Dyson, to the dismay of some African Americans, has been a brutal critic of Mr. Obama, Dyson writes, “often as a result of black social unrest sparked by claims of police brutality, Obama has been mostly uninspiring:”video.search.yahoo.com/...
Dennard’s effort to defend Mr. Trump’s descriptions of how to assault a woman and get away with it, as well as his recent moral equivalency argument, equating the United States and Vladimir Putin’s regime are frankly embarrassing. I am offended and insulted, as a Black man, at the silly defense of Mr. Trump by Dennard over his ignorance of Black History.
Ms. Conway has spent the past nine days trying to run away from a statement she repeated on at least two interviews about an imaginary massacre in Bowling Green, Kentucky that she claimed was not covered by the news media. After being confronted with non-fake news she finally relented and acquiesced to the truth. CNN correspondent Jake Tapper, pushed back hard yesterday www.cnn.com/.... I included the full clip of the interview because one of the effective dodges used consistently by Ms. Conway is the, “it was taken out of context” line.
The one common theme, among not only Paris Dennard, Kellyanne Conway and other spokespeople for Trump, is this parroting of fiction as fact even when confronted. Mr. Trump after being fact checked into oblivion yesterday, again repeated the assertion that we are amid the largest rise in the murder rate in forty-seven-years this morning, at the Law Enforcement Conference, in Washington DC. The smattering of applause may have been because the room was fully aware the commander in chief was lying to them but decorum required a polite response. Had Congressman Joe Wilson(R-SC) been in attendance, I wonder would he have stood and yelled, “you lie!”
‘18 and Change!’
