The #MeToo movement, a campaign of women across the country speaking out against sexual assault, are the winners of 2017's TIME Person of the Year race. Hollywood actresses and artists were among those featured in the report, but Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway was not included. She thinks her conservatism had something to do with it.
Conway claims that the media ignored her "me too" moment during last year's presidential campaign. She sounded off on the double standard at the POLITICO Women Rule Summit Tuesday.
"Yes, of course I’ve had a ‘me too’ moment, but nobody cared about that,” Conway said when asked by POLITICO’s Anna Palmer about her personal connection to the movement that has seen a wave of women speak out about acts of sexual impropriety by powerful men. “If we’re going to have an honest conversation everyone — you can’t pick and choose depending on somebody’s politics.” (Politico) Conway has also claimed to be the victim of sexism. For instance, in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper last year, the anchor rudely rolled his eyes at her while she was trying to make a point.
The first woman to run a successful presidential campaign, Conway received little love from the media because of her candidate.
The media was all over the "Access Hollywood" tapes that came out last year before Election Day, where we heard then-candidate Donald Trump's "locker room talk." He apologized for his past remarks and Conway defended the Trump White House at the Women Rule Summit as being an environment where female voices are "valued."
You must not realize who Kellyanne Conway is.
“in an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper last year, the anchor rudely rolled his eyes at her while she was trying to make a point.”
I love Kellyanne, but this does not strike me as sexism. Rude, but not sexist.
Somebody rolled his eyes in her presence?
Heads will roll!
Do you know who she's talking about?
They have debased the term “sexual harassment” so much it has no meaning.
This designation removes it forever as a useful term.
Did she serve in Congress?
Don’t think the eye roll is what she is talking about. A newsman or politician commented on a picture of her on her knees on a couch that that was a position “she was familiar with...”
There was that a-hole pig congressmen with his filthy remark at a picture of her.
Maybe Roger Ailes?
I go through the trouble of posting links inside of articles so you can avoid making dumb comments like this. However, I can't force you to click on them.
Debasing terms is racist!
See post 11, it applies to you also.
Is Time still in business? That is a surprise, I thought they had gone under a long time ago.
Rolling eyes is a sexist dog-whistle!!!!
I read the article. I understand that to womyn’s groups conservative women are not really “women” and thus undeserving of victim status — which is truly sad since I can guarantee that conservative women don’t use the claim unless something really happened.
Changes the truth of my statement not a whit.
This guy: Louisiana Democratic Rep. Cedric Richmond
Too bad Hurricane whatever didn’t blow his butt away.
You can still find Time in doctor and dentist offices—but the magazine is so skinny you need to look hard to find it!
They were fanatically pro-Hillary and anti-Trump during the election—Hillary’s campaign staff was less biased.
