Kellyanne Conway Mocked Over Bizarre KKK Leader Remark

A former senior Trump adviser is under fire for complaining that Republicans have had to disavow one of the nation’s most notorious race-hate leaders.

Kellyanne Conway, 59, who served as senior counselor to President Donald Trump during his first term, spoke with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Monday night about Graham Platner, a Democratic candidate in Maine’s Senate race.

Platner has faced mounting scrutiny over the past several months after it emerged he has a Nazi tattoo from his time in the military, and that he allegedly sent sexually explicit messages to a woman who is not his wife. Platner has been married to Amy Gertner since 2023 and his wife says the messages were sent in the early days of their marriage.

“Remember, everybody who’s a Republican anywhere had to disclaim David Duke, even if we never met him, had a meal with him, agreed with anything he said,” she added.

Platner has done a couple of distasteful things but he's still not on the level of David Duke.

1. Kellyanne should compare Platner's indiscretions to Trump's crimes, then explain why she hasn't disavowed her boss.
