(CNN) - Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz criticized the White House on Wednesday night after Kellyanne Conway retweeted an allegation that Wasserman Schultz did not stand or clap during a standing ovation for the widow of a slain Navy SEAL during President Donald Trump's address to Congress.

Conway, one of the President's top advisers, responded to someone else's tweet by writing, "Hope this is not true. It was a moment of unity and deserved recognition."

After acknowledging that Owens' widow was in attendance, Trump said, "Ryan died as he lived: a warrior, and a hero -- battling against terrorism and securing our nation."

Video of the speech posted to the White House website shows Democrats and Republicans rise for a standing ovation within seconds, including Wasserman Schultz.

Of all the unmitigated claptrap.

I mean Conway of course

4. Somebody concocted a lie about DWS and got caught--but not before WH aide Conway spread it

With her polling and commo experience Conway doesn't know how to check before spreading lies? That is really low.
