Donald Trumps new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, spent the primary season as a cable news pundit attacking Trump for his unpresidential and vulgar language, for having built a lot of his business on the backs of the little guy, and for not releasing his tax returns. Conways previous lines of criticism are similar to charges the Clinton campaign has levied to admonish the Republican candidate.
Conway: Trump "Says He's For The Little Guy But He's Actually Built A Lot Of His Businesses On The Backs Of The Little Guy." Conway stated that Trump had actually built a lot of his business on the backs of the little guy and has a history of not paying contractors after [they have helped him] build something, adding that the little guys have suffered because of Trump. From the February 10 edition of CNN Newsroom with Carol Costello.
KELLYANNE CONWAY: Before the victims of his elevated kind of talk, they were unions and they were Democrats, and they were people who were living off the system. But then it looked like it was commuters and everyday people. And I think that's actually something that could hurt Trump in South Carolina and beyond if people start to see that he's not -- he says he's for the little guy, but he's actually built a lot of his businesses on the backs of the little guy and he's a lot of little guys through eminent domain, or through not paying contractors after youve built something. The little guys have suffered. [CNN, CNN Newsroom with Carol Costello, 2/10/16]
Conway: Trump Victims Include Victims Of Trump University, Victims Of Trump In Atlantic City. Conway praised anti-Trump messaging, saying its that gotten better because people are starting to talk about victims of Trump University, victims of Trump in Atlantic City. Conway also continued highlighting Trumps hypocrisy in claiming that he is for the little guy, when really he has built his business on the backs of the little guy. From the March 8 edition of CNNs At This Hour.

So..the next time she's interviewed, these quotes need to be read to her verbatim, and she needs to be asked to explain herself!

(552 posts)She never said any of that about trump.
It's a LW conspiracy.
She actually told the truth back then!
These political consultants apparently have no values or scruples. They just go wherever the paycheck is. Just high priced used car sales people. Now she'll have the stench of Trump on her for a long time.
