If it’s Friday, it must be a Twitter war between someone in the White House and someone outside it. The Tweets Du Jour involve Trump aide Kellyanne Conway and Chelsea Clinton.
Very grateful no one seriously hurt in the Louvre attack …or the (completely fake) Bowling Green Massacre. Please don’t make up attacks.

Conway took back her mistake, uttered on MSNBC’s “Hardball with Chris Matthews,” but shot back at Chelsea: “@ChelseaClinton & others, you can’t ‘invent’ quality candidates either,” Conway tweeted Friday morning. “I misspoke; you lost the election.”
Bosnia lie a Great reminder. And 2 @ChelseaClinton & others, you can’t “invent” quality candidates either. I misspoke; you lost the election https://t.co/7TwnX2b5yA

As the New York Daily News noted: “Conway explained Friday via Twitter that she was referring to the two ‘Bowling Green terrorists’ arrested in 2011 for plotting to provide weapons and cash to al-Qaeda terrorist overseas.”
Of course, the exchange ignited reactions.
KellyAnne is making up mass shootings, Chelsea calls her on it, and Kellyanne basically says “Ya mama.”
Sit down, bitch.

Chelsea Clinton has never shown a real appetite for the day-to-day food fights involved in politics. Until now. https://t.co/vOToLWLMGd
