Kellyanne Conway Crumbles Under The Weight Of Her Own Lies (interview with Matt Lauer)

"On NBC’s “Today” show, the White House counselor claimed that “the situation had become unsustainable” after Flynn misled Pence.

“But the fact is, General Flynn continued in that position and was in the presidential daily briefings, as part of the leader calls, as recently as yesterday,” Conway said.

Host Matt Lauer was incredulous.

“Kellyanne, that makes no sense,” he said. “Last month, the Justice Department warned the White House that General Flynn had misled them and that, as a result, he was vulnerable to blackmail and at that moment he still had the complete trust of the president?”

Lauer continued to press Conway, who would only say that “it was misleading the vice president that made the situation unsustainable” and that Trump “accepted the resignation, and he is moving on.”

This is what we've been wanting. Telling them when they make no sense, pressing them, not letting them off the hook. Are they finally doing that?
