Kellyanne Conway Reveals She’s A Victim Of Sexual Assault

Whoa. Didn’t see this one coming.

Kellyanne Conway appeared on CNN this morning, defending Brett Kavanaugh. No one was expecting this, but she actually revealed that she’s been the victim of sexual assault.

Kellyanne Conway just emotionally told Jake Tapper on @CNNSotu that she too is a victim of sexual assault.

“I feel very empathetic, frankly, for victims of sexual assault and sexual harassment and rape. I’m a victim of sexual assault. I don’t expect Judge Kavanaugh or Jake Tapper or Jeff Flake or anybody to be held responsible for that,” she said.

“You have to be responsible for your own conduct,” she continued.

“I want those women who were sexually assaulted and confronting Jeff Flake, god bless them, but go blame the perpetrator. That’s who is responsible for our sexual assaults – the people who commit them,” she added.

Even Jake Tapper seemed surprised.

“This is the first time I’ve ever heard you talk about something personal like that and I’m really sorry,” he said.

“I’ve just had it,” she told him.

Tapper’s sympathy lasted 4.2 seconds.

“You work for a president who said all the women who have accused him are lying…,” Tapper said.

“Don’t conflate that with this and certainly don’t conflate it with what happened to me,” Conway snapped. “It would be a huge mistake Jake. Let’s not do it. Don’t always bring Trump into everything that happens in this universe. That’s mistake number one.”

“People on Twitter and elsewhere are saying right now, ‘oh how can she work for Donald Trump?’ I work for President Trump because he’s so good to the women who work for him,” she said. “I don’t want to hear it from anybody.”

That’s the thing. Clearly, Conway has placed the blame on the perpetrator and perpetrator alone. She’s not making it about Republican white men and blaming them, like those psycho-sounding chicks who screamed at Flake.

CNN’s Jake Tapper: “As a survivor of this … does that not make you think, when you hear somebody like Professor Ford … does that not make you think these women need to be heard?”

“They should all be heard. And they should be heard in courts of law,” Conway said of victims. “They should be heard in proceedings. Those who can prosecute, those who have civil and/or criminal causes of action should pursue that. But we do treat people differently who are either the victims or perpetrators of this, based on their politics and based on their gender. That is a huge mistake. Don’t make the mistake.”

She shifted gears and went back to Kavanaugh.

“This is Judge Kavanaugh now. It could be anybody by next week. Respectfully it could be any man in any position now. What would be the defense? It was 36 years ago. What would be the defense? There was nobody else to corroborate. I was 17,” she said.

“I think it was torturous for both Ford and Kavanaugh and people should stop using both of them for their own political gains, may I say,” she continued. “I’m happy if they were willing to do that. They came forward and testified under oath. The whole thing has to matter. It has to matter– who he has been throughout his life. People are afraid they won’t be able to defend themselves against 36-year-old allegations.”
