The « massacre » that never happened has Bowling Green in the national news again — something that hasn’t happened since a sinkhole swallowed several prized Corvettes at a museum.
Social media posts have gone viral in poking fun at Kellyanne Conway’s remarks in an interview with MSNBC on Thursday. Conway cited the « massacre » as a reason a temporary ban on immigration from several Muslim-majority nations is necessary. On Friday, she tweeted that she meant to say « terrorists » instead.
Bowling Green radio personality Jelisa Chatman says Conway’s remarks were like a gift from heaven as an on-the-air subject. Western Kentucky University professor Guy Jordan says « jokes are flying » in town.
Even Western Kentucky’s beloved mascot, Big Red, was referenced in social media posts making fun of the White House aide’s « massacre » comment.
