Kellyanne Conway seems to think it's OK — and even relevant — to ask what someone's ethnicity is during a press conference. It's not.

Today, reporter Andrew Feinberg asked Conway to clarify what President Trump meant by a series of racist tweets aimed at four congresswomen this week. In response, Conway asked, "What's your ethnicity?"

When Feinberg asked why this was relevant, Conway told him that her ancestors are from Ireland and Italy. Feinberg responded that “My ethnicity is not relevant to the question I’m asking you.”

"He's tired," Conway said. "A lot of us are sick and tired in this country of America coming last."

“What’s your ethnicity?” Kellyanne Conway asks a reporter when the reporter asks her about the intent of the president’s tweets.

President Trump's original tweets targeted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley, who are all American citizens.

In the original tweets, the president urged the congresswomen to "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."

....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how.... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2019

....it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2019

On Monday, the four women held a press conference to respond to the comments, thanking people for their support. Pressley said that President Trump "does not embody the grace, the empathy, the compassion, the integrity that that office requires and that the American people deserve."

On Tuesday morning, Trump fired off a new series of tweets, alleging "I don't have a racist bone in my body." He also accused the congresswomen of hating America.

.....Congresswomen, who I truly believe, based on their actions, hate our Country. Get a list of the HORRIBLE things they have said. Omar is polling at 8%, Cortez at 21%. Nancy Pelosi tried to push them away, but now they are forever wedded to the Democrat Party. See you in 2020! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 16, 2019

Trump is no stranger to causing a stir with racist comments. And it seems that the people close to him like Kellyanne Conway will continue to defend him.
