Kellyanne Conway, MSNBC Guest, Calls Hillary Clinton "Chief White Woman" In America

This afternoon on MSNBC, Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway and Democratic strategist Keith Boykin were discussing Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright, when Conway made a startling declaration, calling Hillary Clinton "the chief white woman in this country." Her full statement:

"The person who has criticized them is Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton has been criticizing Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright. and I think that's the real issue, I think that's why Barack Obama had to push back. She is the chief white woman in this country, calling into question Jeremiah Wright's bonafides and she has made that issue on the campaign trail. Republicans aren't saying much about it at all, including John McCain. He had one thing to say about it early on."

Boykin immediately objected and Conway attempted to explain her statement, but a very wise Tamron Hall interrupted them and cut to commercial as fast as she could.

Wouldn't that be Laura Bush?

I want this pundit white women off of television, she has got to be the biggest a... I have ever seen or
heard.

Hillary Clinton, as not said a single thing about the Rev. Wright, except she answered, a question, which was if Rev. Wright was her pastor would she leave the church. She said yes.
Today B. Riley on faux news asked her opinion of Rev. Wright, she basically said the same thing
that Obama said about him the second time, his words are not acceptable to her,. The TV pundit
needs to be locked up somewhere, she is a trouble maker period, this kind of news person, should
not be allowed on any news forum, she's dangerous. She is exactly the kind of white person, that
Rev. Wright rails against, prejudice, with the aim to keep black people in their place. She certainly is
not helping Obama.

[gomonkeygo]

Selective memory at work, eh? Hillary hasn't said a single thing? Maybe she hasn't always used Wright's name, but she has been playing the issue up repeatedly, sickeningly while on the stump.

[insightful232]

The Clintons have again and again attempted to introduce race as a factor in this campaign. They are from the south and unfortunately many southerners have been led to feel that race tops everything and have consistently voted against their best interest to make a statement relative to their feelings on race. This performance confirms that they will stoop to any level to win.

[Raymondf]

I'm not a Hillary supporter, but MSNBC, calling her the chief white woman was uncalled for and just shows how the TV media can be. shame on MSNBC, and I have to say thanks to Bill Oreilly for being fair to Senator Clinton tonight he I thought asked her some tough questions, and I felt she answered them truthfully, but I think Bill was fair to Mrs. Clinton.

[Prism]

MSNBC jumped the shark a long time ago. Slanted, mysogynistic, fundamentally corrupt. I stopped watching months ago after Matthews and Olbermann drank the koolaid.

[MA4HRC]

Amen and they're exactly the reason why I will not vote for Senator Obama. It's not Senator Obama so much, but the people who surround him and support him. As much as I want to circle the name of any one of the democratic nominees as a young black woman and former life-long democrat, now turned independent; it pains me to say that I cannot, cannot physically bring myself to vote for him if he is the nominee. The primary can end today or in August and I don't care what the pundits say about us coming together, I will speak for myself and say that I cannot vote for him and silently side with the Daily Kos, Huffingtonpost and MSNBC. If my not voting means that John McCain wins, then I'm willing to accept it in order to not reward the kind of hate speech that I've heard against another democrat. We've been in hell for eight years, what's another four?

[Janemas]

lol is chief white woman a "bad word" phrase? lolll Should we replace that with "anglo"? How about scorned wife? Ok, irrational? News ent people need to get a real job. I don't know how their brains rest peacefully at night. Or is everyone on meds?

[awriterswindow]

That's what I'm wondering, too. She's a white woman running for the highest office in the land, so where is she wrong?

[Sonny James]

"Chief White Woman?" Now, I am confused.

Didn't Bill call ....Monica ....that?

[luckyoldson]

Hey, Sonny...come on outta dat trailer an' pick yourself up a n-e-w-s-p-a-p-e-r. (That is, if you know how to read?)

Bill's been out of office for...oh...about 7 years+.

And the Lewinsky story is so yesterday.

[cariintexas]

Ya think????

[Kwaayesnama]

Dear Bill Clinton:
I would like you to know why I would never vote for your wife?
YOU!
You see I remember your last administration.
You shamed this nation worldwide.
After being impeached I often wonder how you could still show your face publicly?
YOU and only YOU destroyed the Democratic Party.
If it was not for your disgusting habits Al Gore would have been president today.
So the American people, Governor Richardson, Al Gore and The Democratic Party owe you nothing…..

[Raymondf]

believe me I'm sorry but you should never want Al Gore as president, or would all be riding bicycles.

[stubbhead]

They ride bicycles often in Vienna, Paris, and Amsterdam. The people riding them appeared to be just as healthy, happy, and effective as the people driving along side in their very fuel efficient automobiles.

[OliviaRee]

Good gawd......

When is MSNBC going to put this subject to bed? I hope Hillary has the class to end this nightmare soon. Barack will be the nominee....let's get on with it!

[cariintexas]

MSNBC will stop when they stop picking up their scripts on the way in and when they figure out how to delete all the emails from the RNC. All they do is sit there and say what their masters tell them to say.

[molly2007]

Yes Kelly Ann blame everything that happens in this world on Hillary. It's a good thing they cut her off because what she said is a racist remark and she has the biggest mouth on TV filled with hate.

[susane07]

I've been seeing Kellyanne on tv for a long time. She is mean spirited and does not offer much enlightment along with way. Besides her ill-chosen words about Hillary, she ought to get a wardrobe consultant as her clothes are simply awful.

[BlackmaninAmerica]

Tamryn is very pretty.

[qdog112]

She is beautiful, but she was wrong in ending it. That is precisely why we are reduced to sound bites. She should have been allowed to explain that comment. How was it good that she did not?

[Genisa]

I was thinking the same thing, she is beautiful.

[ApolloniaCreed]

Beautiful

[BlackmaninAmerica]

Chief white woman. Good for Tamryn ending that....

[TERRYKEITH4]

Yes, you're right. It was very intelligent for Tamryn to shut that down, because the next thing we'll hear is that she and Keith Boykin ganged up on the white woman or some other kind of racist nonsense then Tamryn may have to leave her spot. She's the only reason I watch MSNBC in the mornings.

[H.L. Mencken]

Lo and behold Black folks are the same as white folks concerning traditional American meme's such as the belief in god and the righteousness of Americans' ! There has been a growing fecund generational divide inter alia among young African American females!

The divide has taken political shape whose energy takes form in Hillary support and ideas that pronounces a specific zietegust of which they feel most comfortable! If Hillary successfuly asuages this group she will do well in North carolina!

[strifeknot]

You're not bright enough to be using that user name.

[okmickey]

Why should Clinton being trashed on MSNBC be a surprise? Their commentators, from Russert on down, have it in for her big-time, for many months now. From MTP thru the debates, the network is clearly anti-Clinton.

[marytnurse]

why cannot anyone get it that there are only so many nasty things that can be said of obama; they are saying as many nasty things as they can about everyone, don't despair. mtp is probably the most balanced, it's not tim's fault that hdrc can't answer a direct question at all, and obama gets wordy and loses those without cognitive skills.

[dooleynoted]

On a much more important note, I saw Tamron Hall for the first time last night on Chris Mathews and she is GORGEOUS. Carry on.
