Conway, perhaps the most skilled liar in the country, has seemingly leveled up over the past 24 hours—the inauguration of her boss, Donald Trump, bringing her new and hitherto unforeseen powers.
First, at Trump’s inaugural ball, her boss doted over her incredible ability to lie to everyone, even people who might point it out.

“There is no den she will not go into. When my men are petrified to go on a certain network I say, ‘Kellyanne, will you go?’ Then she gets on and she just destroys them. So anyway, thank you, baby. Thank you, honey. Thank you. [As she walked down the stairs] Be careful.”
Everything about this is extremely weird. “No den she will not go into”? “My men”? “Baby?” This reads like a pervy speech from a bad modernization of Henry V.
And then Kellyanne Conway said this, on the morning of Trump’s inauguration, which boggles the mind.
Trump made "enormous sacrifices," Conway said. "He actually gave up more money, more power, more prestige, more position than he will have."

None of this is even remotely true.
And then she showed up to the inauguration dressed like Raggedy Ann cosplaying as Light-Horse Harry Lee.
