RantCrush Top 5: February 23, 2017

According to an anonymous White House source who spoke to CNN yesterday, Donald Trump’s adviser Kellyanne “alternative facts” Conway was barred from appearing on TV after making too many questionable statements. First she talked about alternative facts. Then she urged people to go buy Ivanka’s clothes. And last week, she appeared on TV saying that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn had Trump’s “full confidence.” A few hours later, Flynn resigned, reportedly at the request of the president.

Conway didn’t appear on TV again until an interview with Sean Hannity last night, though a White House spokesperson denied that it was because of any sort of ban. But even before this speculation, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” announced that she wouldn’t be invited for interviews again because of her lack of credibility.

Kellyanne Conway is barred from Morning Joe for lacking credibility. YES! This is how you address them. If they make shit up they gotta go
