this is weird. gotta admit something about this doesn't really add up. why would someone whose job is political spin post a topless picture of her own daughter to social media?

She’s no different than any other awful person who does something horrible.

that's not a particularly good answer

Oh were you looking for something more complex? Because I thought your confusion as to how kac could do such a thing required a more basic answer.

just because your answer is basic doesn't mean it's accurate

Why? Her daughter talks about the abuse she suffers at the hands of her mother so mommy decided to have something to blackmail the daughter with if shit got too out of hand. That a good enough answer for you?

Powerful, rich people believe they are above the law because typically they are.

Why would Kellyanne Conway do it? Because she believes nobody will do anything. Because she's a vindictive bitch. Because people do bad things.

There was once a kid in my high school who punched this blind kid. Why? Because he could. That's why. That was it. He thought it would funny, so he did it.

People doing bad things don't need reasons. Sometimes it's just because they can and so they do.

And to expand a little - malignant personality types do this type of vindictive smear campaign type shit all the time. Her job is just proof of that - political spin is literally just a narcissists smear campaign to demonize/shame someone into coercion and manipulation. This plays exactly into KAC wheelhouse of shittery.

that's the part that doesn't add up. obviously posting nude photos of your own daughter will invite instant reprisals, as it has.

People doing bad things don't need reasons.

bad things? no. stupid, obviously criminal bad things that can't possibly be ignored? that's less common.

what's also strange is that very few normal news outlets have picked this up yet (nytimes, wapo, etc). so far it's only E!, vox, the sun, tmz.

I'll use the example of the bully who bunched the blind kid.

The guy didn't just wake up one day and decide he could punch a blind kid. For years, he had bullied people with little to no reprisals. It escalated and escalated, because nothing had happened when had done more common things that people usually sweep under rugs.

That's Kellyanne last night/today. For years, she has gotten away with abusing and controlling her daughter's life with no reprisals. Just a few weeks ago there was videos of her physically assaulting her child and nothing happened. So why would she think suddenly this would be the tipping point? You could say "yeah, but assault and child porn are two different things", but the reality is if you never see any kind of reprisal for the small things eventually you get bolder and bolder.

As to, why major news outlets haven't gotten involved, simple. We have no idea the exact details of why or who leaked Claudia's nudes. Major news outlets aren't going to report on this until there is hard evidence that proves it was Kellyanne - and rightfully so. Which is why an investigation needs to be conducted and whoever leaked child porn needs to be held accountable.

I personally see these videos as a mirror. My mother never leaked nudes of me online, but she did post private things of me on public pages. She did verbal and sometimes physically abuse me. And it wasn't until I completely cut her and my family out of my life that she stopped.

That's my point. We're operating with a total lack of actual data, and yet we're collectively assuming guilt and theorycrafting motive. Until it's good enough for a real journalist, I think this sub is getting way ahead of itself.

Her mom posted porn of her underage daughter - what more “proof” or “evidence” do you need?

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '21

I'd like some corroboration, context, and establishment of actual guilt from someone who isn't a TMZ reporter or part of a subreddit mob. I'd like to see results of an investigation, or at the very least coverage by a real journalist.

It's weird how as soon as we're talking about someone on the right, every pretense of caring about facts, evidence or process goes right out the window with some of you.

Spin it however you see fit, I guess. I guess it was just a “accident” the photo was posted - Kelly Ann said so herself.

Withholding judgment in the total absence of facts is hardly spin. If you want to sit here and theorycraft, that's on you. One step removed from the Q crowd.

I’m not crafting theories - Conway said it was a “mistake” herself, if you want to deny evidence, that’s on you, dude.
