ellapenella Posted February 6, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Donald Trump’s adviser Kellyanne Conway was criticized on social media for referring to Bowling Green as a massacre. The men in question aimed to harm American soldiers overseas. Trump critics quickly leapt to criticize Conway, although the Bowling Green case was certainly very serious. That didn’t stop Twitter from laughing: http://heavy.com/news/2017/02/bowling-green-massacre-plot-iraqi-refugees-kellyanne-conway-trump-video-waad-ramadan-alwan-terrorists-terrorism-kentucky-al-qaeda-iraq-mohanad-shareef-hammadi/ So, she should had said plot instead of massacre, why are they laughing and mocking her about that? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellapenella Posted February 6, 2017 Author #2 Share Posted February 6, 2017 SECRETARY TILLERSON: Well, good morning, all. We apologize for being late. It seemed that this year’s prayer breakfast, people felt the need to pray a little longer. When I wake up each morning, the very first thing I ask myself is: Are all of our people safe? The safety of every single member of our State Department family, regardless of where he or she is posted, is not just a priority for me. It’s a core value, and it will become a core value of this department. (Applause.) This means the State Department family here in the U.S. and all those agencies serving under chief of missions abroad, including Civil Service; Foreign Service officers and specialists; locally engaged staff of host country and third-country nationals; interns, fellows, support contractors and implementing partners; and not least of all, the family members who support us at home and in our service to our country overseas. https://cu.usembassy.gov/secretarys-remarks-welcome-remarks-employees/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found video of the Bowling Green Massacre: (football fans will think its funny) Back to your question though its because she is a very weird ass individual who doesnt appear to have a great grasp on reality , yet thanks to the weakness of Hillary has found herself in an influential position. Maybe she does have a grasp on reality and isnt a complete moron, but she certainly appears that way. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post maxcred Posted February 6, 2017 Popular Post #8 Share Posted February 6, 2017 They mocked her not just because she misspoke but because she said no one heard about the 'massacre' in Bowling Green because the press didn't cover it. She tried to say that there was a terrorist related killing in the US that was not reported by the media. That is impossible. Trump and his people clearly have a problem with a free press. It's going to be a bumpy ride. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubbly_Dooright Posted February 6, 2017 #12 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Yes, mistakes and on the spot mispoken words happen. Now, if she meant to say 'The Bowling Green terrorists', does that make sense to the whole sentence she was saying in the interview. Ok, I can see if she meant 'the Bowling Green terrorists, who lived in Bowling Green, who were the mastermind behind the terrorist plot over seas, but that is one long sentence right there. Frankly, maybe we all should look at it like we do other news outtakes you can youtube. I was going to post some of the videos, but some content can be seen as questionable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now why would Twitter be laughing at a spokesperson who claims the reason people didn't here about a massacre is the dishonest media... When the real reason they didn't hear is because it never happened. It's a mystery, I tell you. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire. Posted February 6, 2017 #14 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Way to go Kellyanne! Kellyanne Conway’s ‘Bowling Green massacre’ wasn’t a slip of the tongue. She has said it before. Kellyanne Conway thinks she took too much flak for citing a nonexistent “Bowling Green massacre” to justify President Trump's travel ban. She said she simply meant to say “Bowling Green terrorists,” and she later said, “I misspoke one word.” Except now she doesn't appear to have misspoken at all; she seems to have believed that the Bowling Green massacre was a real thing. How do we know? Because she cited the same nonexistent attack in separate interviews with two other outlets — Cosmopolitan magazine and TMZ. While discussing why former president Barack Obama halted refugees from Iraq in 2011, Conway explained to Cosmo on Jan. 29: “He did that because two Iraqi nationals came to this country, joined ISIS, traveled back to the Middle East to get trained and refine their terrorism skills and come back here, and were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre of taking innocent soldiers' lives away.” And she echoed those comments when interviewed by TMZ that same day, as the Daily Beast pointed out Monday afternoon. “He did that because, I assume, there were two Iraqis who came here, got radicalized, joined ISIS, and then were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green attack on our brave soldiers,” she said.

Hardly. She is the first to rage about misinformation, yet doesn't hesitate to dish it out herself. Bowling Green was hardly a slip up. The first time maybe. The second and third time, I don't think so. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that's right, she can't.. As for feeling good about Kellyanne, there is nothing about her that makes me feel good. When she's not talking in circles, she's uttering inane nonsense, and her own version of the 'truth'. If she doesn't want to be ridiculed, then she needs to change her game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look on the bright side. She could have mentioned "57 states". She could have said "they're gonna put y'all back in chains" while speaking at a Black church.

I think that it was an honest mistake because she knows how easy it is to check its veracity, but I also think that her mention of "alternative facts" was stupid.
