Kellyanne Conway’s husband: ‘Laughingstock’ Trump can’t govern if even Burger King is mocking him
George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump has now been rendered a “laughingstock” whom no one in the government takes seriously — thus rendering him incapable of governing.
Reacting to the fact that even Burger King is mocking the president after he misspelled the word “hamburgers” in a Tuesday morning tweet, Conway marveled that Trump is now getting ridiculed by fast-food chains.
“Think of how much of a laughingstock a president has to become to have *Burger King* make fun of him,” Conway wrote. “Sad.”

In a followup tweet, Conway cited historian Heather Cox Richardson, who declared that “when a major fast food corporation trolls you, you’re done.”
Conway called this an “apt observation” and said that “a president can’t function if he isn’t taken seriously.”
Conway then concluded by saying, “This one isn’t, and shouldn’t be.”
See point 1–a historian’s apt observation. A president can’t function if he isn’t taken seriously. And this one isn’t, and shouldn’t be. https://t.co/OX7uhKSniM

Conway has never been shy about criticizing President Donald Trump, despite the fact that his wife is one of the president’s most ardent defenders on cable news shows.
In 2017, for instance, he ripped into the president for undermining his own proposed travel ban with a series of impulsive tweets. He has also recently been retweeting articles that criticize the president’s alleged affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels, as well as stories that mock Trump for being unable to hire top-notch legal counsel to defend him in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Hope Hicks denied under oath knowing about Trump’s hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels
Former White House communications director Hope Hicks on Wednesday denied under oath knowing anything about the hush-money scheme set up by former Trump "fixer" Michael Cohen to pay off President Donald Trump's former mistresses.
"Hicks told lawmakers today that she did not have knowledge during 2016 campaign of hush-money payments made in run-up to election," reports CNN's Manu Raju. "Also she wouldn’t discuss what she learned about those payments during her time at White House because of immunity claims."

Late on Tuesday, I got an email from an unusual source. A reporter for the conservative publication the Washington Examiner asked if I'd be interested in sharing thoughts on Joe Biden's history of joking "about 'locking up your daughters'" and on "Biden's view of women and gender relations." This was in light of my previous criticisms of Biden's apparent condescension towards girls and women, and his pockmarked history on gender relations in general.

Cory Booker rips Biden for praising racist senators: ‘You don’t joke about calling black men boys’
Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) blasted Joe Biden for praising two segregationist senators he'd served with as a lawmaker.
The former vice president and current Democratic presidential frontrunner reminisced about his relationship with Mississippi Democrat James Eastland and Georgia Democrat Herman Talmadge, two notoriously racist senators during the Civil Rights era, reported The Hill.
“At least there was some civility, we got things done," Biden said, recalling that Eastland had never called him "boy." "We didn't agree on much of anything. We got things done, we got it finished."
