The BEST thing you can do with her is NOT HAVE HER ON YOUR SHOW, when you know damned well that all she'd going to do is deflect, pivot, spin, and drag red herrings all over the studio.If you're unable to do that, you can do the SECOND best thing. Not allowing her to pivot or change the subject, and not allowing her to put YOU on the defensive with some childish barb. (As we all remember from Junior High School, throwing a smug personal insult into a debate, under your breath, is a great way to wreck your opponent's concentration. The equivalent move in a boxing match is to stick your thumb in your opponent's eye when you throw a jab. A very cheap trick that only a loser would use.)
If enough people interview her like this, maybe she'll quit. She's WAY overdue for a show on Fox News, where all she has to do is preach to the choir.
My favorite moments:
17:00 Conway attempts to barb him, and throw him off by claiming he's jealous of Fox News' ratings. Cuomo ignores it.
18:30 Cuomo isn't putting up with her attempts to pivot, and Conway attempts to put HIM on the defensive by saying "What is it about powerful, articulate women on TV that bother you as guests?" Cuomo ignores it.
24:00 Conway makes the mistake of pivoting to Mollie Tibbets, and Cuomo hammers her by saying "you're hijacking her grief" and "waving her like a flag, and saying 'if you're not with us on immigration it means you don't care about Mollie Tibbets.'" Conway has a "how DARE you" faux meltdown because Cuomo has basically just EXPOSED what they're doing. (We all know that most of the media has a gentleman's agreement NOT to expose the cheap rhetoric of a guest TO THEIR FACE, in REAL TIME. If you expose it by re-running the tape the next day, that's fine. Apparently Cuomo isn't a gentleman.)

(7,576 posts)a horrible job in the Kellyanne interview...she walked all over him and he let her get away with it. I finally had to mute the sound because I could not get over his failure to challenge her and her lies after lies after lies. I turned on the audio again when Don Lemon came on.

(2,648 posts)conway tried to control the conversation from the very start. She never would admit her boss lied.
I mean, why would she. She lies all the time, just like trump.
Cuomo did a good job considering what he had to work with............a raging lying trump supporter who didn't know her ass from a hole in the ground.
They just both yakked through each other. Neither got the best of the other, IMO.

(808 posts)Why would anyone want to put this ass wipe liar on their show? This skank deserves no publicity or chances to spew her defense of the orange asshole.

(570 posts)It doesnt really matter if he did a good job countering her or not. What a fucking waste of air time! We know she is nothing more than a paid bullshit artist, and shes good at her job. Why, why, why is CNN even letting her in the studio?
Even in this forum, we cant agree if he did a good job or not, so what do you think the rest of the country sees? Simple - whatever they want to see. This shouting match does nothing more than obscure truth which makes it a win for the White House.
When we have this he said - she said back and forth going on, it elevates the con job, takes bullshit way to seriously, and ultimately undermines reality.
Look, Conway knows this is how she is going to be treated long before she goes on one of these shows. She doesnt care because she knows the Trump administration is still going to get something out of it. It doesnt matter if shes challenged or not. The fact remains that the Trump administrations bullshit and lies were given a platform and broadcast on national tv today.
And thats the real con here. Every time the media falls for this nonsense, they become complicit.

(63,221 posts)I couldn't stand listening to her. I can't decide who is more loathsome, her or SHS. The way she lies so unabashedly is just disgraceful.
I don't know how this woman lives with herself. I feel sorry for her children. And her husband. Can you imagine what it's like living with this harpy?

The only one watching the tRump surrogate on CNN and MSNBC is tRump....

I wish they'd just turn off her mike when she goes off topic. I just can't stomach her. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard, and nothing but lies comes out of her face.

"Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah ..."Uh...." WHY WON'T YOU LET ME SPEAK!!!!! Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah "
I think at this point her ridiculous machine gun mouth makes her a freak show to the CNN audience. Fox viewers will not be watching anyways. It only makes her look like the deranged harpy she is.

(63,221 posts)She never comes up for air! She just lies non-stop and never listens to anyone. She is an absolutely loathsome human being.

GETPLANING
(846 posts)and practice sessions. Kellyanne sees these television appearances as a battle that must be won, not an interview or exchange of ideas. And she is really good at it. She never stops talking or interrupting. Chris did a fantastic job. The truth wins today.

(658 posts)But I just can't watch Kelly Ann Conway. I have tried, and I really tried to get through this video, but I simply could not. She has got to be the most annoying individual in the entire world. I simply don't care what her opinion is. She can absolutely believe that Donald Trump didn't lie about whatever... but she needs to have the conversation about it. A conversation is NOT talking over the person that you're having the talk with. Shut the fuck up, listen to the person speaking to you until they have finished their thought.. respectfully... THEN AND ONLY THEN, respond.
Conversation is dead in America. She is an extreme example of the fact that it is.
Sorry I said fuck. But FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!!!! Shut the hell up and wait until the person that you are talking to has finished their thought.
Goodness.
I'm better now. I got to say fuck six times. Cussin's fun.
