"You"re lying to me" Jake Tapper EXPOSES Kellyanne Conway"s lies
Atco native Kellyanne Conway seems to have a credibility problem.
Conway rose to national prominence by successfully managing President Donald Trump"s campaign and being an outspoken defender of his young administration.
After the election she took on the role of counselor, reportedly turning down the offer to become press secretary.
Conway, who went to St. Joseph"s in Hammonton, also came back after the election to lead the town"s annual Christmas parade.
After Trump"s inauguration she made waves with an infamous Jan. 22 appearance on "Meet the Press" where she introduced the world to the idea of "alternatives facts", during a discussion about the size of the inauguration crowd.
She"s kept up a frantic pace of television appearances since then, telling the Hollywood Reporter in a profile, "I can go on any show at any time," and that she"s often done six shows before 9 a.m.
But in the past two weeks, a series of misstatements and trip-ups during interviews have put her credibility as cable-television"s go-to voice inside the administration in trouble. The past few days in particular have been difficult.
On Mondayshe told MSNBC that Gen. Michael Flynn had Trump"s support and would not be leaving his post as National Security Adviser.
Flynn resigned that night.
On Tuesday she ran in to a difficult interview with Matt Lauer on the "Today" show, failing to explain what had happened the day before.
The Office of Government Ethics also recommended on Tuesday that she be disciplined for publicly promoting Ivanka Trump"s clothing line on television last week.
MSNBC"s Morning Joe, a show that Trump is reported to watch almost daily, said they would not book her anymore.
"Every time I"ve ever seen her on television, something"s askew, off or incorrect," host Mika Brzezinski said Wednesday.
Conway herself admitted she"s stretched thin, telling CNNin a piece published Tuesday night she was looking to reduce her television exposure.
But her combative interview style and willingness to defend the administration has made her one of Trump"s favorite surrogates.
That in itself may make it necessary for her to be a regular on the talk show circuit as Trump"s administration tries to move past a tumultuous first few weeks.
