Conway gets busted lying about military pay, then lies about it again

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway continued to lie about military pay raises Sunday morning, even after she was busted for it just minutes before by CNN’s Jake Tapper.

On Sunday morning’s edition of CNN’s “State of the Union,” Conway kicked off a day of desperate damage control over this week’s revelations that senior Trump administration officials routinely disobey and ignore Trump’s orders in order to keep disaster at bay.

In the middle of that effort, Conway tried to slip in an unrelated lie.

“We have had the first pay raise for the military in years,” Conway fibbed to Tapper.

“Well, not the first,” Tapper interrupted.

Conway tried to talk over him, but Tapper finished his correction: “It’s a bigger pay raise, but they’ve been going on every year.”
