Kellyanne Conway swipes at Ocasio-Cortez over John Kelly tweet

By CAITLIN OPRYSKO 12/11/2018 11:07 AM EST

Kellyanne Conway on Tuesday hit back at incoming Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, accusing the 29-year-old freshman Democrat of being naive after she took a dig at outgoing White House chief of staff John Kelly.

Ocasio-Cortez on Monday slammed Kelly for his refusal to apologize to Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson when the two sparred over President Donald Trump’s comments to a grieving military widow in the fall 0f 2017. Ocasio-Cortez echoed a call from Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) for Kelly to express remorse for discredited claims about Wilson before he leaves the White House at the end of the year.

Pointing out that Kelly’s assertion that the Florida congresswoman took credit for securing the funding for a Florida FBI building had been debunked, Ocasio-Cortez wrote that Kelly was “straight up exposed” in his comments “aimed at discrediting her.”

“He absolutely owes her an apology, and his refusal to do so isn’t a sign of strength - it’s cowardice,” she wrote.

On Tuesday, Conway responded — unprompted — in an interview on Fox News by accusing Ocasio-Cortez of spewing “nonsense” in a defense of Kelly’s public service that veered into a personal attack.

But when he's called on it, it's nonsense and a personal attack. Gotcha, Kellyanne. Do you have a whole room set aside for all the different standards you have to use to excuse all your friends' egregious behavior?
