Another day, another conflict of interest Kellyanne Conway hoped nobody would notice. Unfortunately for her, they did. And now she, Fox News, and the entire Republican National Committee look like total cons. (Again.)
Throughout the 2022 midterms season, the former White House propagandist/paid Fox News contributor went on the right-wing cable news network to heap praise upon the RNC, applauding the organization for doing a “great job” and defending RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, who many blame for the party’s major losses in both 2020 and 2022.

What Conway, Fox News, and the RNC failed to mention, however, was that the committee paid Kellyanne over $800,000 in the last year. ($829,969.38 to be exact.) The payments were funneled through her consulting firm, KAConsulting, with the most recent one being made on November 4 for “political strategy services.”
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.
Per Media Matters:
The lack of disclosure about Conway’s financial ties goes against the ethics-challenged network’s purported policy. A Fox News spokesperson told the Washington Post in 2019 regarding work Fox News contributor Ari Fleischer did with the RNC that “Fox News requires contributors to disclose ties related to any topic he or she discusses on the air in which the contributor may have a financial interest.” The spokesperson added that such a rule would apply when talking about “the RNC on air.”
Of course, is anyone surprised Kellyanne deceived people, Fox News violated its own policy, and the RNC kept mum about it? Not at all. Honestly, we would’ve been more surprised if they’d been transparent about the fact that she was basically double dipping as a paid Fox News contributor and as the RNC’s unofficial media spokesperson/shill.
So far, neither Kellyanne, Fox News, or the RNC has commented on the matter.

In other Kellyanne news, the alternative fact queen went on Fox News earlier this week to rail against drag performers and criticize the White House guest list for the signing of the Respect for Marriage Act, which included notable drag superstar Shangela.
LGBTQ Nation reports:
Conway, previously considered a moderate on LGBTQ+ issues, joined the recent chorus of rightwing commentators and politicians using drag queens and vile stereotypes to justify legislative efforts to take away transgender people’s civil rights. The religious right has made a concerted effort recently to portray LGBTQ+ people as “groomers” who prepare children for a life of sin and debauchery. These claims have been lifted up by Trump’s MAGA supporters and incorporated into mainstream Republican beliefs in many areas.
“Parents, you have every right to speak up, show up, put up and stand up,” Conway said while ranting about drag performers. “Don’t ever give up on that, because our kids are the future. They’re our most precious resource. Nobody can tell you otherwise.”
Hmmm. We can’t help but wonder what far-right extremist group paid Kellyanne, er, KAConsulting to say that.
We think we speak for everyone when we say: Kellyanne, we are…

I hope this witch’s daugther confronts her when her daughter is in a particularly bad mood. Smacks her across the face with a very heavy frying pan. I’m tired with The Right using their anti-gay platform to endanger members of our community. The above frying pan scenario is just a wish. Not advocating for it to actually happen. It’s just a recurring dream I have…again and again and again.
I also have a dream where Madison Cawthorn wheels himself up on a very high road and loses his wheelchair grip and WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

We must be twins because I have the same dreams.
Except in my dream my foot accidentally gives the chair an extra push for speed.

This sloppy piece of garbage is irrelevant, yet Queerty and all the other shitty media sites continue to quote her rambling lies for profit, providing this lowlife continual significance long after her 15 minutes.

If she meant a single one of these lies she would stop all outside work and try to fix her broken relationship with her OWN CHILD. They are all so fake and phony with they so called “family values” while so many of them have train wrecks of families

$829,969.38 !!!!! Soooo tempting to just spew MAGA nonsense on a public platform and then sit back while the $$ flows in! If she is getting that much for a side gig and Trump is selling “digital trading cards” — we are all fools for not cashing in.
The reality is that these lemmings are so far gone they will pay time and again to ‘save the country’ or literally pay to boost Trump’s ego. In America? In this day and age? I’m embarrassed and ashamed that the rest of the world has proof that millions of Americans are just that stupid!

Her firm is KKK CONsulting.
There…fixed it for you.

This website loves Kellyanne and gives her more press than she gets elsewhere.

This article is literally about her press appearances. You’re lucky to have avoided her, but she does get into a LOT of media.

I call her Smellyanne as she is a Trumpster!

George Conway is the only sane one in that family..I can’t believe he stays in that marriage listening to her BS every day.
Bob
Not a surprise. Acting just like her orange daddy.. Making himself up as a superhero?? Really??? He couldn’t even fit his ass into those tights!!

Another Trump like con artist. She is just absolute trash and should never have a platform again. She should be locked up with Trump for being complicit in all of his crimes while in office.
