Seems things aren’t going so well over there on Capitol Hill between The White House, and Congressional Republicans. Kelly Anne Conway in her outreach campaign to Republicans on the Hill wound up running away from them when they — OHMYGOD — asked her QUESTIONS!!
Seems they’re not thrilled about having to take “so many calls” from their constituents about the horrid Betsy deVos with no backup or support from the WH. Good job, liberals keeping the heat on! Now keep it up with Jeff Sessions.
I can understand her needing to run out of meetings with Democrats, or the press, but her own party? LOLZ. Guess she couldn’t steam roll them with alternative facts
One of President Donald Trump’s top advisors went to Capitol Hill in hopes of reassuring uneasy Republican lawmakers about their role in the government — but the visits reportedly didn’t go so well.
Kellyanne Conway, one of Trump’s senior advisors, and Boris Epshteyn, who’s in charge of the surrogate team, met Monday morning with about 100 communications staffers for GOP senators, reported Politico.
The Trump administration claims the meetings ended with an ovation for Conway, but three sources told the website a very different story.
Conway boasted about the successful introduction of Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch last week, but the congressional staffers grilled her on the record number of calls their bosses had received about education secretary nominee Betsy DeVos.
“We said it would be nice to get some cover on this because we’re taking the heat on our own,” a communications director for one GOP senator told Politico. “But there was radio silence.”
Conway abruptly ended another meeting, where she dismissed the concerns of voters about DeVos, after a congressional staffer asked her about a “Saturday Night Live” sketch ridiculing White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
The staffer asked Conway if she’d laughed at the sketch, the website reported, but a source said her face “turned to stone.”
A senior White House official told Politico that Conway did not comment on the SNL sketch and insisted that her face did not turn to stone.
Seriously, this is hilarious. White House officials have their completely own reality where Conway received an OVATION, and then are forced to make statements to the tune of “oh no, her face did NOT turn to stone”. For realz!
