Kellyanne Conway: I"m Not a Nazi! Clinton Supporters Are Just Sore Losers!
Political strategist Kellyanne Conway became a household name thanks to her work as one of the architects of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
In the weeks since Trump was elected, Conway has maintained her position as one of the President-elect’s most trusted advisors, even when breaking with the administration on matters such as the possibility of cabinet appointment for Mitt Romney.
But while Conway has no qualms about expressing her disagreements with Trump, she remains fiercely loyal to the controversial real-estate-mogul-turned-political-neophyte in most matters.
One of the most troubling aspects of Trump’s transition has been his appointment of far-right extremists like Steve Bannon to important positions on his staff.
Bannon has been unapologetic about his ties to white nationalism and the “alt-right” movement, the latter having recently become a sort of euphemism for neo-Nazism.
Conway participated in a Harvard political panel yesterday, and she was taken to task by former Hillary Clinton strategist over her alleged role in bringing hate groups to the mainstream.
“I would rather lose than win the way you guys did,” Palmieri said, referring to the Trump campaign as a “vehicle for white supremacists.
“How exactly did we win, Jenn? How exactly?” an indignant Conway shot back.
“I have a smile on my face at all times.”
She went on to decry
“Are you gonna look me in the face and say I ran a campaign that was a platform for white supremacists?”
Conway refused to listen to responses, accusing her opponents of being ungracious in defeat:
“You guys are bitter,” Conway went on. “We are being very gracious. You’re bitter.”
It’s not the first time that Conway has been asked to answer for the more appalling actions and comments of Trump’s campaign.
Following a recent university lecture, Conway was asked by a young woman how she was able to justify working her part in electing a man who was recorded boasting about acts of sexual assault.
Conway conceded that Trump’s words were “disgusting,” but stated that she still considers him to be “gracious and a gentleman.”
In the weeks after the recording went public, Trump was accused of sexual assault by more than a dozen women.
Conway has consistently parroted her boss’ statements that the women are all lying.

Wanda Sykes to Donald Trump Supporters: EFF ALL OF YOU!
As George R.R. Martin warned last week, in light of Donald Trump being elected President, winter is not just coming.
Winter has already arrived.
And Wanda Sykes knows just what the Game of Thrones author is talking about, considering the very chilly reception she received during a stand-up set in Boston over the weekend.
The verbal confrontation between the comedian and many in the crowd took place during the Comics Come Home fundraiser, which benefits The Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care and which was held at the TD Garden arena.
“I am certain this is not the first time we’ve elected a racist, sexist, homophobic president,” said Sykes during her set, explaining how she"s rationalizing Trump"s victory.
"He ain’t the first one. He’s just the first confirmed one."
Before Sykes even got out the punchline, various attendees started to boo her criticism of the President-Elect.
And Sykes initially reacted in anger.
"F-ck you, motherf-ckers,” she said as the negative reaction intensified. “F-ck all y’all. F-ck all y’all."
From there, she singled out individuals in the crowd and cursed them off personally.
She then tried to reason with critics in the crowd.
“How can you say he’s not racist?” she asked. “Grab them by the pussy? How can you say he’s not sexist? How can you say he’s not racist? How can you say he’s not homophobic?”
According to witnesses, Sykes dropped the political humor… told about five minutes" worth of jokes after things calmed down… and then flipped The Bird to the crowd when she talked off stage.

Trump Supporters Allegedly Burn Black Church in Mississippi
Obviously, the 2016 presidential election hasn’t exactly been a level-headed contest of ideas, as the Founding Fathers intended.
But despite the fact that one candidate has repeatedly encouraged his supporters to commit acts of violence, we hope that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton would both condemn what appears to be a politically and racially motivated hate crime perpetrated in Mississippi this week.
According to police in Greenville, MS, arsonists set fire to the Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church late Tuesday night after spray-painting the words “Vote Trump” on the side of the building.
Greenville mayor Errick Simmons says first responders found the church “heavily engulfed in flames” upon arriving on the scene.
They were able to save the 111-year-old structure, but not before it sustained significant damage.
Federal agencies, including the FBI and ATF, are reportedly investigating the incident as a hate crime.
“We’re very cautious in this climate, in this day and time, to make sure we’re very deliberate in investigating matters like this,” Simmons said.
He added that the fire was “a direct assault on people’s right to free worship,”
“I see this as an attack on the black church and the black community,” Simmons stated in a press conference held this morning.
Asked by reporters, Simmons said that he believes the majority of Greenville’s 34,000, predominantly black residents will be supporting Hillary Clinton in the upcoming election.
“It appears to be a race crime,” Simmons said.
“It happened in the 50s, it happened in the 60s. It shouldn’t happen in 2016.”
Trump has yet to comment on the crime, but throughout his campaign, he has been criticized for inciting his supporters to violence.
Trump called for the assassination of Hillary Clinton back in August, and throughout his campaign, there have been dozens of reports of protestors being attacked at rallies, often after the real estate mogul encouraged the crowd to assault his detractors.
Politicians and prominent figures in the black community have called upon Trump to condemn this latest attack in order to help ensure that no copycat crimes will take place.
Thus far, the candidate has yet to do so.
His most recent tweets center around the topic of last week’s news regarding Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Amy Schumer Slams Trump Supporters, Gets Heckled in Tampa
Amy Schumer and Donald Trump are too very divisive figures.
But while the former is a comedian who occasionally rubs people the wrong way with her political material, the other is an unhinged Cheeto-man who wants the nuke codes so that he can tease Putin with a guessing game next time they Skype.
Needless to say, they don’t represent the same level of threat to our way of life, which may be why Schumer felt compelled to go in on Trump during a recent standup performance in Tampa:
Now, you’ve ever studied an electoral map, you know that Florida is a true toss-up state, with a population divided between staunchly conservative bath salt addicts and more left-leaning bath salt addicts.
(And there’s the occasional flakka aficionado, who we assume will be voting for Gary Johnson.)
Anyway, it’s a risky state in which to voice a political opinion, but that didn’t stop Schumer from engaging with Trump supporters during her gig last night.
As you can see in the clip above, it went about as well as expected, which is to say, very, very poorly.
Schumer invited a Trump supporter on stage last night to ask what it is the guy sees in the Donald.
When the guy asnwered that he’s not voting for Trump but “voting against Hillary,” an annoyed Schumer dismissed him.
“I just wanted to know why one guy, who doesn’t seem like a psychopath, would want to vote for that orange, sexual-assaulting, fake college starting…” Schumer said.
Her comments were met with a chorus of mixed boos and applause.
There’s a pause in the recording, during which time things presumably took a turn for the worse, and Schumer can be heard telling the crowd:
“From now on, if you yell out, you’re gonna get thrown out. Everybody point to the people booing.”
Given the level of violence at recent Trump rallies, it’s actually surprising things didn’t get even uglier.
Depending on what part of the country you live in, it can be easy to forget the nation is still this divided with regard to who it wants calling the shots at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Even so, we’re a bit surprised this all went down at an Amy Schumer show.
Was a local radio station giving away free passes or something?
Did some Tampa residents really think that at the end of a week in which Trump was accused of sexual assault by more than a dozen women, Shumer was gonna take the stage and be like, “Ya know, I’m still undecided…”
We’re guessing a lot of season ticket holders for that venue were in the house last night.

Anti-Beyonce Protest in NYC Draws HOW MANY Supporters?
Beyonce Knowles gave a staggering performance of her new song “Formation” during this year’s Super Bowl halftime that earned overwhelming praise and left most Americans bowing down in awe.
Buuuuut naturally, there had to be a few sourpusses.
Some folks thought her dancers’ costumes paid tribute to the Black Panthers and accused Queen Bey of “race baiting” and called the performance a “slap in the face of law enforcement.”
A protest was organized for Tuesday in New York City, asking supporters to “stand together” and “tell the NFL we don’t want hate speech & racism at the Superbowl ever again!”
And just how many citizens showed up to express their outrage?
Two (2).
There was one guy, NYC resident Ariel Kohane and a girl named April who only identified herself as a student.
Oh, how embarrassing.
In fact, far more people came to the anti-anti-Beyonce protest, with more than 100 fans supporting the artist.

Don’t mess with the Beyhive, friends. They will come at you in swarms.
Seems like most peeps weren’t really that offended, and for the record, we didn’t see any disses to police officers in the show.
But you can re-watch the video and judge for yourself.
