Kellyanne Conway on surveillance: We have ‘microwaves that turn into cameras’

Trump’s wiretapping theory baffled even his top aides, who reportedly awoke to the president’s tweet storm without the faintest idea of what he could’ve been talking about. Since she decided not to answer the initial question about Obama’s supposed involvement in wiretapping Trump Tower, she now finds it disingenuous of reporters to put her answer in the context of that question. “Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!”

She also was grilled by George Stephanopoulos on ABC on the same topic and said, indignantly, “Of course I don’t have any evidence for those allegations”.

“Unless it’s a voice-activated microwave oven connected to the internet I can’t think of a way”, says Frasier. “The only question is why the president would make up such a thing”.

“I have no reason to believe that the charge is true, but I also believe that the president of the Unites States could clear this up in a minute”, McCain said.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin flatly denied on Sunday that anyone from the Kremlin had collaborated and communicated with Trump’s campaign.

On Sunday, in an interview with the Bergen Record, the White House counselor expressed concern with phones, television sets and microwaves potentially being used for government surveillance on Trump Tower.
