In an interview with George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America, Conway was shown footage from late last year in which she flatly denied there had been any contact between the Trump campaign and Russian government officials.

The ABC host then noted that this statement was incorrect in light of news that Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner had all met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer last year in the hopes that she would reveal damaging information about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

“Who misled you, and why did Don Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort allow those public denials to stand for so many months?” Stephanopoulos asked.

“So as I understand it, George, some of those public disclosure forms have been amended since that time to reflect other meetings, including this one,” Conway replied.

2. Fabulous question!

3. Good work leading with Stephanopoulos's words

(i.e. leading with the truth, not with Conway's lies)


I propose a new rule for American media. If someone lies in the press 3 times, no one quotes them for a month. If 5 times, no one quotes them for a year.

4. That picture, though.

5. "So, as I understand it, George . . ."

Why didn't she just go with a tee-hee giggle and say, "I'm just a girl!" We go from Stephanopoulos' definite question ("Who misled you&quot to a vague response a step below "mistakes were made." Utter nonsense from Conway.

6. Good job George. Here's the rest - OP couldn't post the whole per DU rules

Stephanopoulos, however, would not let Conway off the hook.

“Why did people in the administration allow these denials to stand for so many months?” he asked.

Conway paused before responding.

“The people involved in the meeting could answer those questions better for you,” she replied. “But as I understand it, George, people’s disclosure forms have been amended to reflect meetings such as this. And Don Jr. came forward this weekend and gave more information about the meeting.”

“After denying it!” Stephanopoulos interjected.
