Conway to CNN's Cuomo: Aren't you embarrassed 'to talk more about Russia than America?'

[DonViejo]

BY JOE CONCHA - 07/10/17 09:46 AM EDT

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway asked CNN's Chris Cuomo on Monday if the anchor was embarrassed "to talk more about Russia than America" in a contentious exchange on CNN's "New Day".

The interview primarily focused on President Trump's meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin on Friday and whether Trump pressed Putin on Russian interference with the 2016 election.

"CNN spent a full week plus doing nothing but having these headlines saying President Trump is not expected to bring up Russian interference with president Putin," said Conway, referring to a CNN oft-repeated report that Trump wouldn't broach the election interference topic with Putin.

"He made it top of the agenda. It was first on the list. He pressed him early and often," Conway continued.

“Did he press him or ask him whether he did it?” Cuomo asked.

“But that’s not good enough" Conway retorted. "Did CNN say he wasn’t going to mention it at all or didn’t they? Oh, they did. We have these great montage. People say stuff that isn’t true.”

1. Well Conway, you've talked more TO Russia than the rest of us, do tell.

[Squinch]

2. Why does anyone ever give her air time?

[maxsolomon]

9. because she is a white house official, as sad as that sounds

and often the only one available (the only one Trump trusts to lie like he would).

they have no choice if they want any comments from the executive branch of the united states.

[Squinch]

11. If they know, and we know, that the only comment from the executive branch is going to be lies,

there is still no reason for them to seek her.

It's the executive branch's problem if they can't get anyone to give air time to their representatives because they all lie constantly.

No news has ever come out of her mouth and we would sacrifice no information if she was shunned by all responsible news organizations.

[maxsolomon]

15. would that it were so

there was a brief moment when she got too toxic for cable, but after a time out, all was forgiven.

[Squinch]

16. We should tell them that we turn them off every time they give air time to compulsive liars.

[Yavin4]

3. Kellyanne Comway, All Hail Queen Shit of Liesville! n/t

[underpants]

4. the word squishy which, itself, is unusual to describe the presidents state of mind,"

[Javaman]

5. she tries so hard, it's like

watching someone pushing really hard on a pull door.

[BSdetect]

6. He should have said "No, not about Russia, its about TREASON".

[GoCubsGo]

7. Hey, Kellyanne. Aren't YOU embarrassed to go out and lie and obfuscate for

a bunch of treasonous fucks who have done nothing but betray their own country and all of its citizens? You disgusting, wrinkled-ass scumbag.

[Blue_Tires]

8. Expect another Intercept/TYT hot take soon

where they count up all the times "Putin" or "Russia" gets mentioned during a broadcast and try to generate outrage...

And Greenwald goes back to calling the use of anon sources the worst examples of irresponsible journalism again...

[yortsed snacilbuper]

10. Wow

[panader0]

12. I watched that--it was difficult to watch.

I wanted Chris to ask her if she had had unreported meetings with
the Russians.

[AgadorSparticus]

13. I will stop talking about Russia when it stops waging a war against America

[lpbk2713]

14. Her side spent months on a Benghazi witch hunt.

And when all was said and done all their pissing
and moaning got them absolutely nowhere.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. Oh boo hoo

Turn about is fair play Ms. Conjob

[Solly Mack]

18. Reporters really need to dig into the Mercer family

and they'll find more stuff on Conway and Bannon...and the Mercers.
