Kellyanne Conway Tries To 'Make A Deal' On Inciting Violence Against Reporters?
In a conversation with Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, CNN's Wolf Blitzer expressed fear and concern for the embedded reporters covering Trump:
I'm not objective. I'm on the Reporters' Committee for Freedom of the Press and I really believe in a free press. and I'm sure do you as well. The journalists who are traveling with them all the time. They're in this pen. He points to them. He sort of eggs the crowd on to go after them. And there are a lot of young journalists sometimes. ...He shouldn't be doing that. Can you talk to him? They're hard working young journalists and they deserve security. Some of those Trump supporters get pretty nasty.
Kellyanne, of course, changes the subject, to the charges brought by the heavily edited James O'Keefe video, and spews some lies about "Democratic operatives" starting violence at Trump rallies. She also says that's the "only violence I've seen" at the rallies. Really.
Then she says this.
"I'll make a deal with them."
I don't think Wolf heard her. "They're in their 20s and 30s. they're young journalists."
But Kellyanne has a complaint about their job performance. "For some of them, the Twitter feed. We've done an analysis. 85, 90% negative toward Donald Trump. They didn't hear anything good that day? Something that you could put on your Twitter feed? You're right. I believe in a free press. a noble and honest press...."
