Pelosi punts on Democrat’s joke about Kellyanne Conway looking ‘familiar’ kneeling on White House couch

“Has anyone seen the controversy around Kellyanne Conway and the couch in the Oval Office?” Scott said. “Come on, people. You remember the '90s. That couch has had a whole lot of worse things.”

"Four days ago, a Democratic congressman made what seemed to be a pretty blatantly tasteless joke about how top White House adviser Kellyanne Conway “really looked kind of familiar” kneeling on a couch in the Oval Office.

"But House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Sunday that she hadn't heard about it. And she also suggested that such crude jokes were fair game at the dinner where Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) said it.

"CNN host Jake Tapper played Pelosi a clip of the joke — “And you can just explain to me that circumstance, because she really looked kind of familiar there in that position there,” Richmond said — and called it a “sexist” and “disgusting” joke. He asked Pelosi whether Richmond should apologize to Conway.

“ 'I wasn't at the dinner. I'm just finding out about this,” Pelosi said. The Washington Post asked her office for comment Thursday and received no response." . . .
