Another Kellyanne Conway ode to the First Amendment. She's such a constitutionalist, this one.
Quote:Not one network person has been let go. Not one silly political analyst and pundit who talked smack all day long about Donald Trump has been let go. They’re on panels every Sunday, they are on cable news every day. Who is the first editorial writer, where is the first blogger that will be let go that embarrassed his or her outlets? We know all their names. I’m too polite to call them out by name, but they know who they are, and they’re all wondering “Will I be the first to go?”
(Fox news interview today)
That's all just threats - "say anything negative about Trump and you're an enemy and we'll get you. We know your names". This is straight McCarthyism but don't let that surprise you, remember that steadfast Trump supporter Ann Coulter wrote a book contending that McCarthy got it all right.
And look at that final bit - "and they're all wondering "Will I be the first to go?" That's total bullshit, of course, as no such concerns are in place. First, these criticisms comprise thousands of voices extending through mainstream media into much of the conservative media (National Review, Weekly Standard, American Conservative, etc). Second, news entities and editors are not caving, but are supporting their staffs.
Again, this is a dominance display. She's trying to spread an utter falsehood suggesting no one can/will stand up to this ******* lunatic and his gang of thug and thugettes.
