'Breathtakingly Ignorant': George Conway Calls Out Trump on 'Western-Style Liberalism' and 'Busing'
White House counselor Kellyanne Conways attorney husband George Conway called out President Donald Trump on Twitter Saturday morning for his apparent inability to comprehend several terms commonly used in geopolitical discourse.
During a press conference Saturday in Osaka, Japan at the close of the G20 Summit, Peter Baker of the New York Times asked President Trump about Russian President Vladimir Putins recent comments in which he said Western-style liberalism was obsolete.
Based on his response, Trump apparently thought the term, Western-style liberalism, which broadly refers to governments comprised of officials who are democratically elected by a populace empowered with individual rights under the law, was a literal reference to American liberals residing on the west coast of the United States.
Well, I mean he may feel that way. Hes sees whats going on, I guess, if you look at whats happening in Los Angeles, where its so sad to look, and whats happening in San Francisco and a couple of other cities, which are run by an extraordinary group of liberal people, Trump said. I dont know what theyre thinking, but he does see things that are happening in the United States that would probably preclude him from saying how wonderful it is, Trump responded.
