Christiane Amanpour refused to let the White House counselor off easy in a combative interview.

When CNN host Christiane Amanpour came face to face with Kellyanne Conway on Monday evening, she wasted no time addressing the 10-ton gorilla in the room after a pair of deadly mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio over the weekend.
You are his senior counselor, and many, many people are asking whether now, all these words that he's used, all these phrases that he's used, will he follow up on what he urged the country today to put aside racial hatred, white supremacy and just stop all this hatred? Amanpour asked Conway. Will he do that now?
Saying that he already did it, Conway turned around to accuse the Democrats running to unseat her boss of using really hateful language. Amanpour reminded her that Trump also accused the fake news of spreading hatred and division in the wake of the shootings.

Amanpour kept coming back to the rhetoric that Trump has used and was directly echoed in the El Paso shooters manifesto, including the description of an invasion at the Southern border. She also played the clip of Trump laughing during a rally in the Florida panhandle earlier this year when someone in his audience suggested shooting migrants. Only in the panhandle can you get away with that statement, the president joked.
Kellyanne, you're his senior counselor, you are really close to him, Amanpour said. Do you countenance those words that the president uses? Do you try to tell him not to use those words like invasion, like infestation, like all the words he uses which are associated with hate speech?
Again, Conway deflected, trying to make the conversation about James Comey, Robert Mueller and the death penalty..................................
