Twitter reacts to Kellyanne Conway's revelation: 'I'm a victim of sexual assault'

“I’m a victim of sexual assault,” Kellyanne Conway, special adviser to President Trump, told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” Sunday morning. She followed that statement immediately by clarifying that she doesn’t “expect Judge Kavanaugh or Jake Tapper or Jeff Flake or anybody to be responsible for that. You have to be responsible for your own conduct,” staying on message with the White House.

She asserted that Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh is not Bill Cosby or former President Bill Clinton, emphasizing his hearing was not a “meeting of the #MeToo movement.”

Tapper addressed her statement, saying he had never heard Conway speak about her personal experience before, adding, “You work for a president who said all the women who accused him are lying. There have been a number of people —,” Tapper paused as she cut him off.

“Don’t conflate that with this, and certainly don’t conflate that with me,” Conway said to Tapper. “Let’s not always bring Trump into everything that happens in this universe.”

Her lengthy interview with the CNN anchor immediately started trending on Twitter.

“Kellyanne Conway is a victim of sexual abuse and she works for the president because he didn’t do it to her. Let that sink in. A survivor is in enough of an emotional prison that they defend and support a perpetrator just because he did it to someone else. Abuse is so complicated,” tweeted @NSubyak.

Some came to her defense, arguing the president should be kept out of the conversation and that Conway deserved the same support other survivors who have spoken out about the #MeToo movement have been shown.

Others kept their politics in the conversation and still came to Conway’s defense as a survivor.

Even journalists chimed in, supporting Conway’s speaking out, but criticizing her boss.

Others, like this Mic reporter, called her hypocritical.

But there were some women on Twitter who could not see past Conway’s support of President Trump, even through her public admission on television.

A twitter user calling herself RiotGirl disagreed with Conway, calling the president a “sexual predator.”

And this user reminded the Twitterverse why Conway was on television in the first place, defending a Supreme court nominee supported by her boss.

President Trump ordered an investigation into the allegations after Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified in front of the Senate Committee Thursday that Judge Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers. Though the judge has seen steady support from the president, according to the BBC, the FBI has contacted another accuser, Deborah Ramirez, to get information about an alleged assault.
