THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4263: Kellyanne Conway regarding James Comey's Interview - #Nonverbal & #EmotionalIntelligence#KellyAnnConway #JamesComey #DonaldTrump #BodyLanguage #tongueout #TongueJut #LooseTongueJut #Lying #Deception #Lie
1/ Earlier today, Kellyanne Conway, Counselor to President Trump was interviewed by Chris Cuomo regarding James Comey's interview last night on 20/20. What follows is a partial nonverbal analysis of a crucial portion of that interview.
2/ KELLYANNE CONWAY (continuing at 2:58): "...Ah, No, the Democrats are mad at Comey for lots of reasons, I mean they, they blame him for her loss - I lo [stammer]- I saw, I saw Comey last night, and I said, 'This guy swung an election? I [feigned stammering] don't think so!'..."
3/ "... I mean [slurred] definitely took away from that - he struggled to even answer basic questions. He also admitted Ω that he as FBI director - injected partisan politics and, and his belief that, that person who lost the [stutter] election who should have won Chris..."
4/ Just after she said, "... He also admitted ...", Ms. Conway displays a Loose Tongue Jut (during 3:14, and notated by the Ω symbol).
5/ A loose tongue jut (not to be confused with a tight tongue jut or a wide open tongue jut) is a classic nonverbal display indicating the thought-emotions of:

• I've been bad
• I got caught
• I've just done a stupid thing
6/ Note that simultaneously Ms. Conway displays a prolonged blink - which, although not required in this context, when clustered with a Loose Tongue Jut, this blocking phenomenon serves as an amplifier for these same feelings.
7/ Summary: Kellyanne Conway's nonverbal behavior displayed here (a Loose Tongue Jut), indicates she is being deceptive. She does not believe her own statement(s) - before or after/during her Loose Tongue Jut:
8/ More specifically, Kellyanne Conway is lying when she said:

• "... He also admitted Ω that he as FBI director - injected partisan politics ..."
(e.g., She believes James Comey did not admit this, or she believes he did not inject partisan politics into the 2016 election)
9/ and/or with her prior statement:

• " 'This guy swung an election? I [feigned stammering] don't think so!' "
(That is, she DOES, in fact, believe that James Comey affected the outcome of the 2016 Presidential election).
