Kellyanne Conway‘s righteous indignation is off the charts, and nobody seems to be buying her latest outburst.
The former Trump adviser has been hitting the campaign trail in an attempt to rally up enthusiasm among Republican midterm voters. On Monday night, she appeared on Fox News and attacked Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman for displaying a marijuana flag outside the State Capitol.

Fetterman is currently the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate against Trump-endorsed Republican Dr. Oz.
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.
Recent studies show over 16% of Americans regularly use cannabis, and a record 60% of the country — Fetterman clearly among them — supports legalization. Other studies have shown marijuana use is even higher in the LGBTQ community.
And look, there might be a reasonable argument to be made for why politicians shouldn’t hang marijuana flags. But Conway did not go that route.

Instead, she quipped: “He put the marijuana flag up. He thought that was funny. He’s trolling his opponent. He thinks that’s funny,” Conway said. “Here’s what’s not funny—that there’s been a doubling of overdose deaths in Pennsylvania while he’s been in office from 2015 to 2021. Fentanyl is rankling every corner of this state.”

Surely she knows the difference in marijuana and fentanyl. Maybe she thinks Dr. Oz’s magic diet pills can cure drug overdoses.

At this point the Republican Party is made up entirely of cranky old folks yelling at the kids to stay of their lawn.

I thought @JohnFetterman put it up to protest the abject stupidity of the US Govt spending $50 billion in taxpayer money on a marijuana crusade that is riddled with hypocrisy. Who gets locked up? Black people. Marijuana and Fentanyl have as much to do with each other as Coors https://t.co/bY4Ohin7x3

I won’t make fun of her looks, because that would be mean and a bit misogynist.
There is something wrong with this woman. She joined the devil and can’t seem to understand that makes her evil.
James
She is an ugly evil hag.
Her husband hates her…… Her daughter hates her….. trump the loser hates her…… Everyone hates her.
Go away you rotten washed-up has-been nobody.

I just had an epiphany of sorts: “Judge” Jeanine Pirro and Smellyanne move in together, and then team up to make a reality show. Would you watch? Would I?
Bob
Oh God, I just threw up in my mouth.

Add Judge Judy and Laura Ingraham, and you have “The Rotten Girls,” a bizarro-world right-wing version of “The Golden Girls.” Sounds like a plan!

She is a useless, lying hag. Why on earth anyone wants her on TV is beyond me. Go home and work on the wreck your family is.

Is she still alive? I quit caring so long ago that I forgot all about her.

She is basically what would happen if a cadaver suddenly came to life. Her husband should cut her loose.
