Kellyanne Conway Is Very Confused About How Free Money Helps Businesses

Kellyanne Conway sure has taken to the job of idiot Trump apologist with gusto:

Gee, if a for-profit business gets someone else to pay its fine, how on earth does that help the business? It’s so confusing. This Fahrenthold guy is just obsessed with Donald Trump. What’s his deal, anyway?

Oh, and Donald writes secret checks to help people all the time. He’s just too shy to let anyone know about it.

It’s just lie after lie after lie. But maybe I’m being unfair. If you’ve been the recipient of Trump’s secret largesse to ordinary folks, please let me know. It’s a little surprising that none of you have come forward over the past year, but bygones. Now’s your chance.

PLEASE—BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things it doesn’t like—which is most things that are true.

We’ll say it loud and clear: At Mother Jones, no one gets to tell us what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please do your part and help us reach our $150,000 membership goal by May 31.
