Some chances only come once in a lifetime.
Meet Alfredo Pelicci, a Washington, D.C.-based lawyer who seized a very rare opportunity when he happened upon Kellyanne Conway and her bodyguard in the hallway at Lupo Verde restaurant.

“I walked right up to her and asked her for a selfie,” he tells Buzzfeed.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Conway happily obliged, but Pelicci didn’t take the promised selfie — he hit the record button instead.
“Say I’m ruining America!” he cried, smiling and posing beside the President’s advisor.
“You’re so brave! You should be happy!” a disgruntled Conway crowed.
Here’s how it all went down (click the speaker icon to turn on sound):
Since posting the video Thursday, Pelicci has become something of a folk hero on Twitter:
Am I the only one hoping this video of Alfredo Pelicci and Kellyanne Conway was recorded somewhere in Bowling Green? https://t.co/ZhFPlpzgSp

Funny indeed, but still not as funny as this.
My sister discovered she shares a birthday with Kellyanne Conway. Her bday is inauguration Day. That means this was Kellyanne's bday dress. pic.twitter.com/7YyPGh6BX9

Mo Bro
Your idea of being “punk’d” apparently differs from mine.
The only one to come across as foolish is the college-educated lawyer acting like a tween girl.
DCguy
Awwwww, did him mocking the person who has consistently lied on TV, unethically tried to sell her boss’s kid’s products online and who made up fake terror attacks bother you?
I guess an anti-American bigot like you would be bothered by that.
captainburrito
I agree, it was beneath a adult to act like that. There is plenty to get her with without being immature like that.
James Hart
You’re right.
This guy’s a jerk.
I guess he got his 15 minutes.
What a loser he is.
CaliKyle
I loathe Conway’s politics and non existent relationship with truth/facts but this was a total di@k move, dude.
Jack Meoff
Why? Considering the damage she can cause with her lies and alternative facts I think this is fairly mild compared to what she deserves.
CaliKyle
Then confront her on her lies like an adult – sidling up to her all faux friendly then sabotaging her with a broad insult that does nothing to take her to task for the lies she has peddled is a d@uche move, full stop. Hit and run public humiliation is a cowardly tactic that undermines both the character and goals of the perpetrator.

As I keep on saying, and will continue to keep on saying, anyone who works for or supports The Odious Man illegitimately occupying the White House is a legitimate target. This one, and the weasel Spicer are particularly worthy targets for mockery on an hourly basis until they disappear from our lives. They are both just so dumb! They so neatly fit the stereotype of the uneducated, racist, sexist, homophobe that is liable to erupt into spasms of violent anger at any moment – just like their ‘President’, who even just in the last few hours is yet again showing the world how absurd he is with his latest claims and allegations against a law abiding compassionate former President. And I used to think that no one could be more ridiculous than George Bush. This fool outclasses him in craziness.

Are you alleging that no US citizens were wiretapped during the past 8 years of the Obama administration?
davidkohl
really mhoffman – always with the ridiculous attempts to divert attention from the fool on the hill. If you know your own laws you will know that NO President can order wiretaps on American citizens – it has to be done through a security agency and a court of law. I have no doubt that suspected terrorist types were wiretapped to gain evidence – this is legal and sensible. What is being claimed by the crazy guy is that Obama tapped his fones to somehow influence the election- its pure lies and designed to divert attention form the illegal activities of his own staff in relation to Russia. He will not be able to produce evidence because there is no evidence. But the job is done – he created a fuss to divert attention.
mhoffman953
@davidkohl Funny that you, not being from the US, are trying to school me on federal law. When you say “If you know your own laws you will know that NO President can order wiretaps on American citizens”, are you aware of Chapter 36 of Title 50 of the US Code “War and National Defense”? It states:
(1) Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year
So tell me again, how “NO President can order wiretaps”?
Then you say, “I have no doubt that suspected terrorist types were wiretapped to gain evidence – this is legal and sensible”.
If that is 100% accurate, then why was Fox News correspondent, James Rosen, and the entire Associated Press wiretapped under requests from the DOJ and President Obama? Is the Associated Press a suspected terrorist group?
Mo Bro
@mhoffman953:
Nice job schooling the non-American on American law and the previous administration’s wiretapping of those they deemed a “threat.”
Tim
The Odious Man illegitimately occupying the White House?
He was elected fairly, unlike HRC who had to cheat to get on the ballot.
with his latest claims and allegations against a law abiding compassionate former President?
The same POTUS that spied on thr citizens, targetted conservatives with the IRS, destroyed our economy, had one failure after another in both foreign and domestic policy, and spent 8 years praising terrorist organizations and hate groups
Dez
I don’t particularly care for Kellyanne but that was just rude and lame of him.
James Hart
The guy’s a loser.
Black Pegasus
This is the type of mean girls shtt I despise about some people on the left who claim to be so altruistic and empathetic. This was just cruel and unfunny.
davidkohl
Unfunny I might agree with – but ‘cruel’ , really? What is really cruel is supporting racism, sexism and homophobia , filling the airways with ‘alternative facts’, denying people their rights by executive order, building walls and forcing the people you want to keep out to pay for it. Those things are cruel – and this lady has supported ALL of them. So she had a joke played on her – boo hoo. She deserves to be ridiculed on a daily basis for what she has done and claimed.
DCguy
And remember, this is the game of the Trump Troll. Kellyanne can lie to incite hatred against a minority group leading to racist attacks, but if you ever mention her it’s the left being “Mean Girls”.
Pathetic.
He BGB
She wants to be loved by everyone so bad (like her boss).
Terrycloth
Kellys Ann Conway in the wizard of Oz remake cast as the scarecrow who really needs a brain !
DAVIDWILSON1
What a mean spirited douchebag! The guy is a big jerk. I guess the days when class, manners, and being a gentleman are over. I don’t care what your politics are or who you voted for but, In my opinion he just proved to the world what just how juvenile, rude, common, and classless he can be.
GayEGO
I see a lot of dishy queens comments here. Kellyanne should just step down as her Trump ordered comments are not helping her at all.
