Democratic Rep. Cedric Richmond (La.) made a crude joke about White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway on Wednesday night during the Washington Press Club Foundation dinner.
Richmond joked that Conway looked "familiar" in a position on her knees, referencing a viral photo of Conway kneeling on a couch in the Oval Office, the Daily Caller reported.
"You even mentioned Kellyanne and that picture on that sofa," Richmond said during his speech to Republican Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.). "I really want to know what was going on there because she really looked kind of familiar in that position there, but don't answer."
Richmond was later asked about the joke by the Independent Journal Review's Benny Johnson.

The Louisiana lawmaker's office did not return the Daily Caller‘s request for comment.
This is not the first time Conway has been the subject of a controversial joke.
Earlier this month, Saturday Night Live did a skit that depicted Conway being obsessed with CNN anchor Jake Tapper. The skit was a parody of the movie Fatal Attraction. Kate McKinnon, who depicted Conway, became increasingly erratic and sniffed Tapper's tie because "it smells like the news." The skit was met with mixed reviews, with some charging that it was sexist.

Scott Montgomery Kelly Did you say that Kelly Ann Conway looked as if she was used to being on her knees? If so, you are a classless, low life piece of garbage. You realize she was taking photographs as our president was signing an Ex Ord to prioritize Historic Black Colleges and Universities? You had better clear this up, sport!

Bobby Korsh Women’s History Month? Yeah right... Misogynistic pig. You need to resign. Clear from your comments that you don’t respect women. If a man was sitting in that same pose would you have made that comment? Shame on you.

Helen Pearson Souza I say to you Mr. Richmond that you got away with the comment about Kellyann Conway because you are black and a democrat. Think about this..if a white republican male said that about Michelle Obama, would do you think the mainstream media would be saying. You are a disgrace to all males. Grow. Up

Bill Budden Would appear that your views of a women’s accomplishments are significantly different mine. Your sexual innuendo about Kellyanne Conway while speaking at the Washington Press Club Foundation dinner is inscrutable...”she really looked kind of familiar...
Chris Fortner Cedric is trash and just another thug that should be immediately removed from his position.

Lucy Mauterer Cedric, I can’t believe you embarrassed yourself and shamed your family by making such a crude comment at such a distinguished gathering. Kelly Ann is a good woman working hard at doing her job. She does not deserve to be debased like that. I hope and believe the voters will remember this come election time.

Carol Shortley You claim to be for woman and you make a dirty joke about Kellyanne Conway. Oh why because she is white, Bet you would never say that about dumb Maxine Waters or any black woman. Just goes to show what a racist bigot you are. If you can’t make it on your own don’t use women as YOUR prop you pig.

Yes, there’s a big difference between kneeling on the couch and crouching under the desk ...
Isn’t that remark slanderous?
There will be little or no mention of this remark by the mainstream media. Not a word will be said by women’s groups. No one in the Democrat Party will condemn this remark. However, as we all know, if a Republican made a comment like this, there would be a media “firestorm” for the next several weeks.
Of course
That’s how most black males see whites women
A veritable craving
s PAUL RYAN going to censure this DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN for his sexist comment against KELLYANNE?
Project much, Cedric “Down-Low” Richmond?
Don’t they realize that there is nothing they can do or say that would turn us away from our support of Kellyanne??
Bet he gets some ‘on the knees’ action at his CBC’s expensive romps:

If this POS had been lighter-skinned, he would have been criticized. If he had said it about a democrat, he would have been forced to resign.
Calls to resign, labeling him misogynist, racist, etc.
Probably all true.
I heard that he went to Mexico and participated in one of those Donkey/Prostitute thingies, too.
And wasn't he the one driving the truck that plowed through all the Mardi Gras folks?
Also, I heard that he kills and skins kittens.
Not sayin' it's true...just sayin".
It's what I heard, doncha know?
Get some Republican woman to have a Press Conference and call for his resignation!
Break the Sessions narrative.
THIS IS SO EASY! DO IT!!!!!!!!!

Not surprised
Where’s Pelosi, Fauxahontas, NOW et al, SCREAMING for this guy’s resignation and apology??
Huh?
I think most people are so sick of the double standard. Keep it up dems. More Republican votes in 2018 and 2020.
Should be charged with inappropriate discourse which is non senatorial and punished for such. Enough is enough.
LOL. He does, doesn’t he. I hate that “folded arms” bull****. It reminds me of a bunch of old geezers in tractors looking for gold in Alaska or a bunch of local yokel news bobbleheads.
This is an incident of real misogyny, demeaning and damaging to its core, uttered publicly by an elected official. There should be pu$$y hats lined up on his street, but there won’t be.
