Kellyanne Conway’s bold new claim exposed

Kellyanne Conway was again accused of spreading “alternative facts” with her comment on Donald Trump’s visit to a church in Detroit over the weekend.

“You have Donald Trump in Detroit speaking to 8,000 people in a black church,” Conway boasted to Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo.

Conway, who ran Trump’s 2016 campaign and later served as his White House adviser, sought to highlight what she saw as a stark difference in support for the presumptive GOP nominee versus President Joe Biden in the upcoming 2024 election.

But videos of the event at 180 Church posted online showed that only a few hundred spectators were present.

And as Reuters noted, “While some enthusiastic supporters wearing MAGA caps waited for hours to get in, the line stretched not into the thousands but into the hundreds, and some attendees said they had stumbled upon the place only by chance. When the event began, the church was not at capacity.”

MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin was among those who noted that “most of the people who came to the event were not black.”

Conway’s “8,000 people” claim is the latest in a long line of unrealistic defenses against Trump, following her previous “alternative facts” responses to the lies she spread to the crowd at his inauguration and the “Bowling Green massacre” that never happened.
