Dear Media: Stop interviewing Kellyanne Conway. She lies to you.
the news media
Kellyanne Conway is a liar. Her latest lie is that former President Obama instituted a six-month ban on Iraqi refugees after the
Bowling Green Massacre.
But here's the thing: First, there was never any ban on Iraqi refugees under President Obama. Second, there was no “Bowling Green massacre."
The closest thing to reality that Conway could be referring to is this: Two Iraqis were arrested in Bowling Green, Kentucky, in 2012 after they were connected to insurgent activities in Iraq. As a result, the Obama administration toughened requirements on incoming refugees. Those steps slowed, but never halted, processing of refugees from Iraq. So this is a "massacre" where no one was hurt and a "ban" where no one was stopped. In short, Conway lied.
This isn't the first time Conway has lied or made outrageous excuses for her colleagues' lies. She invented the term "alternative facts" to defend White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer for lying about Trump's inauguration crowd size. She refused to acknowledge that Trump lied about ABC News reporter Martha Raddatz crying on election night. She even called on media figures who criticized Trump to be fired.
Sign the petition to news media: Stop interviewing Conway. She lies to you. You don't win points by pointing out her lies. There's an easier way to prevent it—Just stop interviewing her.
