Kellyanne Conway
The veteran pollster shamed Trump during the GOP primaries for building his businesses “on the backs of the little guy,” unfairly attacking opponents and refusing to release his tax returns. But then Conway joined the Trump team as an adviser in early July and was promoted to campaign manager earlier this month. Less than a week after taking the reins, Conway told ABC’s “This Week” that her hate-spewing boss “doesn’t hurl personal insults.” That’s a bold claim considering Trump has made “personal insults” a cornerstone of his very campaign, with broadsides against women, Mexicans, Muslims, prisoners of war, the disabled, his political rivals and even a pair of Gold Star parents. In a whiplash-inducing 180, Conway went on to discuss how Trump had recently expressed regret for insulting people. The Republican strategist, echoed by her fellow flunkies, has hinted in multiple interviews the tycoon might soften his stance on a “deportation force” to boot out 11 million undocumented immigrants. But Trump has made buffoons out of them by insisting he’s not flip-flopping on immigration — while he flip-flops on immigration.
