Kellyanne Conway Responds to Anderson Cooper’s Eye Roll
After a brief hiatus from the media circuit, the presidential counselor gave an interview to CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Tuesday night. Instead of telling Cooper what he wanted to hear and admit to Trump’s hypocrisy, Conway instead thanked the CNN anchor for reminding her how many states Trump won in the election.
Here’s why: When asked about the ongoing Russian Federation investigation – or any other topic they’d rather not talk about – the Trump White House insists there is no point in “relitigating” the past.
One of Conway’s favorite lines, in fact, was that it was the “cost of admission into the feminist movement that you automatically, pro-forma, default believe that men are trying to keep you down”. “So that was fun”, Conway responded, as Cooper rolled his eyes. The attorney general reports to the President of the United States.
The internet responded with applause, but Conway herself was not a fan. “The president is, he has full authority and control over his decisions here and he made the right one”. “Because he has lost confidence in the FBI director and, he took the recommendation of Rob Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general to whom the FBI Director reports to”.
Conway pointed to Trump saying in his letter that he was told by the FBI director that he was personally not under investigation as proof that there is nothing to see here.
And she certainly doesn’t want to go viral.
“I don’t know who had access to my account”, she said.
“I’m around the president”, Conway said. “I’m not under investigation”. He wondered why the administration anxious over Comey’s handling of an investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email server when they praised him for it on the campaign trail.
On Thursday, Conway popped over to Fox & Friends, the Trump administration’s preferred morning show to air their version of events on. “We can now only refer to the Donald Trump who exists today?”
“All I’ll say is as president of the United States, he needs confidence in his Federal Bureau of Investigation director and he doesn’t have it”, she said.
