Kellyanne tries to have it both ways

Trump’s not going to like it

Kellyanne Conway has written what sounds like a very boring, self-serving book. But this is notable:

“Despite the mountains of money Trump had raised, his team simply failed to get the job done. A job that was doable and had a clear path, if followed,” Kellyanne Conway writes in her memoir, “Here’s the Deal.” “Rather than accepting responsibility for the loss, they played along and lent full-throated encouragement (privately, not on TV) when Trump kept insisting he won.”

“The team had failed on November 3, and they failed again afterward. By not confronting the candidate with the grim reality of his situation, that the proof had not surfaced to support the claims, they denied him the evidence he sought and the respect he was due. Instead supplicant after sycophant after showman genuflected in front of the Resolute Desk and promised the president goods they could not deliver.”

You can say a lot of things about Trump and be forgiven, if he finds it useful to forgive you. Look at JD Vance. But saying he didn’t actually win the 2020 election is not one of them.

She’s basically blaming his campaign “team” which didn’t include her. I haven’t read the book so I don’t know if she personally told him that he lost. Somehow I doubt it.
