CNNs Chris Cuomo has been one of the most reliable interviewers of Donald Trumps advisers, blessing New Day viewers with tough cross-examinations on the Trump teams state of mind. On Friday morning, Kellyanne Conway set to be counselor to the president once the new administration takes over the Oval Office made an appearance on the show, leading to an almost 20-minute interview that left the spin doctor dizzy.
Accustomed to hostile interviews, Conway immediately played the victim, accusing Cuomo of interjecting his opinion in questions about Russias involvement in cyberattacks against Democrats. You are not asking me a question, you are making statements . . . You are giving your opinion.
Cuomo said that Trump and his allies were having problems separating the investigation into the hackings and the subsequent politicization of its findings. Conway complained that Democrats and the media were conflating alleged Russia hacking with the actual outcome of the election.
In response, the CNN host offered to stipulate that Hillary Clintons campaign was trying to delegitimize Trump by politicizing the hacks, but only if she conceded that the president-elect should be taking cybersecurity, especially when it involves Russia, more seriously.

Had me to the last sentence. We should not give them any ground! Hillary's campaign was doing what any political campaign would do and that is to defend. itself by telling the TRUTH. The TRUTH is not "politicization".
