Taylor Swift goes ‘head-to-head’ against President Trump and loses
< < Go Back
Kellyanne Conway responded to Taylor Swift’s support of the Equality Act at the VMA Video Music Awards and in her latest song, “You Need to Calm Down.”
The counselor to the president, who sat down with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum on Tuesday, noted that she’s a fan of Swift’s new track but took a jab at the singer for her political activism and even questioned whether her fans even understand what the Equality Act is.
She went on to note that Swift’s previous support of Marsha Blackburn’s Democratic rival in the Tennessee Senate race didn’t go her way.
… she’s also somebody who went up against President Trump head-to-head in the United States Senate race in Tennessee and lost handily. Marsha Blackburn is our United States senator now.”
When pressed on why the Trump administration isn’t moving forward with the Equality Act, Conway said there are factors standing in the way and complicating things.
“The president and the White House support equality,” Conway claimed, “We don’t support pieces of legislation that have poison pills in it that can harm other people. Look at this economy — it’s equally open to everyone. People have job mobility, the deregulation, what he’s trying to do, peace and prosperity around the world — that’s to benefit everyone. But when something is named something, it’s not always truly that.”
