Kellyanne Conway's "Bowling Green Massacre"- Ethan Lacey

Conway claimed to had misspoke one word on an interview on MSNBC's "Hardball", when she "accidentally" mentioned that there was a massacre at the Bowling Green campus. A Cosmopolitan reporter is saying that Conway had brought up the Bowling Green massacre over a telephone interview. After news spread of Conway claiming of this massacre, people in NYC an the Bowling Green campus comically held vigils for the non-existent people lost in the massacre. The Trump team has a history of spreading history, showing the leadership and trustworthiness his team holds.

I think that this should limit the trust the American People have with Conway and the whole Trump administration. This attempt of spreading misinformation shows that the Trump administration has some sort of hidden benefit in doing such and act and should be investigated by the government. This also shows how weak the position of the Trump administration is, that it has to make up news to support themselves. This event can be connected to Yellow Journalism, because both support the spread of misinformation to spark some sort of conflict or publicity. The trump administration has shown itself in the month it has been in office to be untrustworthy and lack of leadership.

  1. This was so weird to me whenever I watched her say this. My brother and I googled it with no results of truth. I lost trust once she used alternative facts. I feel like we are being recorded for an episode of "Punk'd."

    I enjoyed your blog - good job. ☺️
