Conway has her knickers in a wad!: White House 'incredibly irresponsible' for suggesting Trump knew of Russian hacking

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest’s assessment that President-elect Donald Trump may have known about Russian cyberattacks targeting the U.S. electoral process was “breathtaking” and “very unfortunate,” Trump’s senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said Thursday morning.

Speaking at his daily press briefing, Earnest referenced a remark Trump made at his most recent formal press conference, held in July, when he publicly invited Russian hackers to search for emails deleted from the personal server of Hillary Clinton.

Trump later said he was being sarcastic when he made the remark, but Earnest said Wednesday that the comment “might be an indication that he was obviously aware and concluded, based on whatever facts or sources he had available to him, that Russia was involved and their involvement was having a negative impact on his opponent’s campaign.” Conway took exception to the press secretary’s comment in an interview Thursday morning on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends.”


“That is just remarkable. That is breathtaking. I guess he's auditioning to be a political pundit after his job is over soon. That is incredibly disappointing to hear from the podium of the White House press secretary,” she said. “Because he basically — he essentially stated that the president-elect had knowledge of this, maybe even fanned the flames. It's incredibly irresponsible and I wonder if his boss, president Obama agrees.”.................

And she got paid well to promote Ted Cruz.

And if Trump eventually crashes she will be paid well by another politician to lie for that politician.

Putin is laughing at us right now. How's that makes us feel, and the repigs are kissing his ass.


They are all liars and also they hate facts, and god forbid we go through an attack. Trying to discredit FBI and CIA and other intelligence agencies.

Between the two because I don't think Earnest would've said this if there wasn't something out there
