CONway shows her allegiance - to Russia - complete with bear-head buttons. The bear is Russia's national symbol.

Russia national symbol is the Eurasian Brown Bear.
They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

Do you think those Deplorables will see it and finally discover they've been conned?

(15,438 posts)While, of course, paying lip-service to Reagan who HATED Russia. She's part of the Republicans of today: pro-Russia, anti-American.
We need to recognize that and hammer any Repube with it.

(14,858 posts)It was possibly both a "thank you" to Russia for their involvement in the election, but also a dog-whistle to many Trump supporters.

Ive always seen Russia as the guardian at the gate, as the easternmost outpost of our people, said Sam Dickson, a white supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan lawyer who frequently speaks at gatherings of the so-called alt-right, a far-right fringe movement that embraces white nationalism and a range of racist and anti-immigrant positions. They are our barrier to the Oriental invasion of our homeland and the great protector of Christendom. I admire the Russian people. They are the strongest white people on earth.

(15,438 posts)I believe she wore it as a message to their pro-Russia, anti-America supporters (which is most of them).
Still, no one can mistake those bold Russian flag colors!

the meaning is of Trump lying to her by saying he did not get briefed on the on the three page add on to his Friday briefing to do with golden showers. He did get briefed. She went on Anderson Cooper 360 and asked him if heads would roll at CNN when it was proven CNN was wrong on Trump being briefed. Anderson explained that CNN never explicitly said Trump was actually briefed. Came out last week that he was briefed on the blackmail issue. Somehow he did not tell her and in such away she was so sure when she did the gish Gallop to Cooper.

BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)"they're wild cats!" cover she'll undoubtedly use. Then again, those bold abstract white, blue, and red are clearly the colors of the Russian flag.
I'm not willing to give any Putin-patriot the benefit of the doubt.
And yes, she looked horrible. Tired, too.
