Is there any way we can acknowledge how deeply awful Kellyanne Conway is, as well as her role in the most dangerous and disgusting presidency ever, while also giving her minor child the benefit of the doubt?

I do not imagine for one moment this person is above using her daughter as a pawn in her scheme to escape a sinking ship. Even so, I feel like the possibility that there is a genuinely troubled young person at the heart of this is reason enough to take a step back.

If you have never experienced a family crisis (or in my case, been the cause of one), consider yourself lucky. If there is a 1% chance this is totally what it appears to be, that is enough for me to demonstrate a level of human decency. If you disagree, I won’t argue with you…but I wish you’d reconsider.

I am a mediocre human being at best, but I aspire to be better than anyone who works for Trump. That is what I am going for here.
