Conway threatens legal action against Harry Reid

Posted by | November 13, 2016 13:16 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics

Kellyanne Conway warned Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid to be “very careful” about calling Trump a sexual predator.

On Sunday, Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Conway to respond to Reid’s statement.

“I find Harry Reid’s public comments and insults about Donald Trump and other Republicans to be beyond the pale,” Conway said, according to a transcript posted online. “And he should be very careful about characterizing somebody in a legal sense. He thinks — he thinks he’s just being some kind of political pundit there, but I would say be very careful about the way you characterize it.”

After Wallace interrupted and asked whether Conway was suggesting that Trump might sue Reid, she tried to walk back her statement.

“No, I’m not suggesting that at all,” Conway said. “I’m suggesting — I’m calling for responsibility and maturity and decency for somebody who has held one of the highest positions in our government, in a country of more than 300 million people.”

Reid’s office responded:

“It only took five days for President-elect Trump to try to silence his critics with the threat of legal action. This should shock and concern all Americans.

“Trump has always used threats and intimidation to silence his critics. Now he wants to silence a discussion of the acts of hate and threats of violence being committed in his name across the country. Silencing this discussion normalizes hate and intimidates the victims.

    Dear Kellyanne,

    Mr. Trump said, plain as day, that he sexually molests women.
    He has bragged about sexual deviance on more than one occasion.
    No court would find Reid guilty of libel, or anything of the sort, when Trump declared that he has taken sexual advantage of women on multiple occasions and in multiple ways.

    Sincerely,
    Reality

    Conway is Constitutionally and legally illiterate, especially regarding “public figures.”

    1. Does the First Amendment’s freedom of speech protection extend to the making of patently offensive statements about public figures, resulting perhaps in their suffering emotional distress? (Defendant Trump sued by dozens of women for sexual assault.)
    Exhibit A: “parody” of an advertisement, modeled after an actual ad campaign, claiming that Falwell, a Fundamentalist minister and political leader (Trump), had a drunken incestuous relationship with his mother in an outhouse.

    SCOTUS Held: In order to protect the free flow of ideas and opinions on matters of public interest and concern, the First and Fourteenth Amendments prohibit public figures and public officials from recovering damages for the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress by reason of the publication of a caricature such as the ad parody at issue without showing in addition that the publication contains a false statement of fact which was made with “actual malice,” https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/485/46

    Dissent will not be tolerated by the Trump Administration.

    Kellyanne Conway thinks that anything she says about what someone “thinks” is valid.

    Conway is nothing more than a Rump do-girl. Her credibility is zero…

      Watching that now, I record it and watch the show the next day. The show is a lot better than I thought it would be and I love Dave Chappelle and Tribe Called Quest.

    What in the world has this nation become?..
    We now have a president who might sue members of congress for saying things that do not flatter the great leader?…
    I seriously doubt this thinly veiled threat is even legal…(until now)
