Conway Claims She Has Secret Service Protection Because Of Media Treatment

[RandySF]

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said that negative media coverage has resulted in threats that forced her to acquire Secret Service protection.

Conway told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in a Monday interview that she has even been sent packages at her home containing “white substances.”

One source of this antagonism, according to Conway, was a Inauguration Day pool report which inaccurately noted that a bust of Martin Luther King, Jr. had been removed from the Oval Office. The bust was actually in its spot but concealed by a door and a Secret Service agent, prompting the Time Magazine reporter who falsely reported its absence to issue a quick correction and multiple apologies.

The incident has been brought up repeatedly by White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and other Trump aides as an example of the unfair press coverage the President receives. On “Hannity,” Conway claimed the incorrect report may even be part of an attempt to smear Trump as racist.

“The damage is done because then people look at Donald Trump as the ‘r’ word,” Conway said.

“I don't say his name publicly because I don't want him to get attacked like I do," she said of the Time reporter. "Because of what the press is doing now to me, I have Secret Service protection. We have packages delivered to my house with white substances. That is a shame and yes I hold him to account for it.”

Sounds like secret service needs to protect other folks from Conway.

[emulatorloo]

6. So the press is attempting to physically harm/assasinate Kelly Conway?

"white substances" false flag(s) starting and will grow into who knows what.....his ignorant followers will believe their god(s) are under fire from us decent liberal/progressive "meanies". A civil war is in its incipient stages and I really don't care if anyone see this statement as hyperbole. "Slip, sliddin away" is what is happening to the democracy most citizens enjoyed for generations...only resistance will assure that the demons on the right know we will not roll over and die....good luck with this clown as WH counselor. Attack the media unmercifully, get the distrust at a level that when it is shut down only we, the decent, rational, non fascists will be able to resist. I just hope the soldiers and police will not fire on citizens like as happened at Jackson State College in Mississippi and Kent State in Ohio in the 70's.

11. It's a racist attack by Conway.

Notice that she's blaming these so called "attacks" on anger over the report that the bust of MLK was removed from the Oval Office.

12. Actually

I think the Secret Service is with her to protect us.

I hear she has a nasty right-cross
