No matter what you think about Donald Trump, his campaign for president, his numerous grudges, and the parade of fools he keeps sending in front of Congress, it’s a fact that Kellyanne Conway is good at her job. Before she joined the Trump team, the current president-elect was supported by a revolving selection of campaign managers that seemed to buckle under the pressure of their boss’ very public meltdowns. Conway was a vocal critic of Trump before joining his campaign, actually adding to the gang of critics asking for his tax returns and questioning his ability to be presidential. That all changed when she joined Team Trump, something Samantha Bee credits to Conway’s lack of any belief in her heart. She’s a “superheroine” when it comes to dodging questions and applying spin to Trump’s numerous gaffes.
That’s why the Full Frontal host added Conway to her “Great Feminists in Feminism Herstory Hall Of Lady Fame” on Wednesday’s show. She made sure to point out that Conway is a likable person away from Trump, something that is supported by almost every reporter that interviews her AND Bill Maher. They seem to enjoy her despite the fact that she represents a guy they despise and won’t give a straight answer to any question they ask. It’s an admirable quality that anybody would want on their side.
Bee goes so far as to ask, “Why the hell is he president instead of her?” before welcoming her to the hall of fame. I doubt she’ll be celebrating the honor anytime soon, but it is there in the alley when she changes her mind.
