Kellyanne Conway: I Wish Meryl Streep Was As Concerned About Disabled Boy Tortured On Facebook

KELLYANNE CONWAY: I'm glad Meryl Streep has such a passion for the disabled because I didn't hear her weigh in or I didn't even hear her use her platform last night, Ainsley, to give the shoutout to the mentally challenged boy who last week was tortured live on Facebook for half an hour, by four young African-American adults who were screaming racial and anti-Trump expletives and forcing him to put his head in toilet water.

I say that actors must be sexually desirable to be great actors. It’s a craft I’ve practiced, taught and studied for many years now. And sexual desirability is one of the greatest assets for film stars and long-term actors. This quest that Hollywood has had for 40 years now to push character actors as “stars” has diminished the industry and forced audiences to look elsewhere for their pleasure.

You hit the target:
"culture" has been at war with America

I’m as old as she is and I have NEVER ONCE considered her desirable in the opposite-sex sort of way.

Unfortunately, Hollywood and feminism have destroyed the idea that "serious" actresses can be beautiful. Today, in order to be taken seriously, an actress can only be so beautiful. If Streep were any more attractive, she would be considered just another pretty face. I would compare her with Cate Blanchett. Both are reasonably attractive IMO, but neither are particularly stunning. But they are both award magnets.

Here we go again! Another panty-waist who doesn’t understand Trump’s twitter account.

Has it ever occurred to you that the only people who want it shut down are radical leftists, Democrats in high office, Lindsay Graham, Morning Joe and easily frightened conservatives? That should tell you that he needs to keep it going.

If DJT spends his time attacking back against all the mindless, deluded crap coming from the less than intelligent left, he won’t have the time to MAGA. As much as you relish his attacking back, THAT takes away from time spent on recovering America. Let people like Kellyanne do the responding. She does it in such an awesome way.

It has been said that ‘tact’ is the ability to tell someone to ‘F-off’, and they greatly thank you. Kelly Anne has that gift, moreso than her boss. Keep doing the job, Kelly Anne!

I thought her performance at the Golden Globes was award-worthy. If you didn’t know better, you could swear she believed the script she was reading from.

At the beginning, when she said she lost her voice from overuse, I actually believed her. I hardly noticed that the more she used her voice, the stronger it got, instead of getting weaker.

And when she spewed the lie that Trump had mocked a disabled man, if I didn’t already know that she knows that’s a lie, I could have believed that she believed it.

I thought her performance was very convincing. She seemed like she believed every lie she told, even though we all know she doesn’t.

She took an incredibly bad script, and poured her emotions into it.

So I nominate this as her best performance.

I agree with you on this. I don't mind Donald Trump using Twitter to get effective, concise messages out to Americans while bypassing the media completely. I do, however, have two problems with it -- and these go all the way back to the campaign when I truly believe he nearly destroyed his chance to win the election with a series of inane Twitter posts in October:

1. The messages have to be factually correct (if they relate to factual matters, not Trump's opinion), and all the words have to be spelled correctly.

2. They must involve substantive matters.

Your concern on this one comes under Item #2, and you're absolutely right about it. Whenever Trump posts a silly message about something as extraneous to America's well-being as a bunch of Hollywood jerks, he gives the impression that he's not a political leader at all but just another @sshole in the entertainment business.

Meryl Streep’s sympathies are with those who were doing the torturing. But there are those who love her. A more degenerate and perverse crowd than the Holly Wood bunch has never been.

I’m pretty sure it was Streep. Sally Field might have also testified about something affecting farmers.

Once sworn in DJT should leave all responses to the Hollywood crowd to his minions. That will marginalize them more than lending his office to this nonsense.

It didn't work for GWB.

GWB never responded, and soon became a Hollywood doormat, then the Hollywood Nazi, and eventually Americas Nazi president and whipping boy.

As disgusting as it is to have to fight these zombies, it has to be done.

Madame, ASSUMING it is DJT on Twit-R, if he responds to all the negative comments, there will be little time for doing the monumental task of MAGA. After 24 years of the KKK (Klintoon Krime Kartel), Buddy II, and Obloviate gloalist regimes, there is A LOT to clean up. DJT has a monumental task ahead of him. It reminds me of Hercules’ task of cleaning King Augeas’ stables!

Wasting time responding to twits on twit-R takes away from the task at hand. People like Kellyanne are better suited to reply byfirmly but tactfully to such lies. DJT took a fortune and amassed a much greater fortune with his talent. Don’t sweat the small stuff, focus on the big stuff. Politics is not the place for the thin skinned. Unfortunately, your current pResident has thin skin AND a thick head.

Knock off the Madame stuff. We’re not in Fortnum & Mason’s, we’re on an American website.

Since you’re a Canadian, and so loaded with good taste you can’t see the forest for the trees, I repeat: let him write what he wants, he uses social media brilliantly. He’s not even president and he’s done more good than Obama did in eight years.

Trump is using Streep. He’s getting the MSM agitated for his own purposes and our entertainment. Remember—Politics is downstream from the culture, as Sndrew Breitbart said.

I don’t remember much fight in either Bush or anyone speaking for him.

As I remember it, the whole clan was obsessed with being seen as compassionate and ready to ‘reach across the isle’. Not exactly fire in the belly.

Do you recall anyone in the Bush II administration coming against the incessant media and Democratic onslaught of lies and half-truths? 9/11 should have smartened them all up, but we know the rest of the story.

Agreed, the more attention these idiots get, the more people recognize them to be idiots.

You’re absolutely right. That idiot Rove muzzled Bush - who by nature, I believe, was a tough hombre - and the result was that he was painted as a dummy for 8 years. Trump blew through 17 opponents and is going to tear apart his enemies in Washington and the creeps who control the culture in Hollywood.

Go, Trump, go!

GWB serves as a bad example to not follow.

I find the Trump tweets on this subject distasteful, but someone has to get into the dirt and fight these faggots, and I’m glad Trump is not only willing, but more than able to smash their faces in.
