Today in Kellyanne Filibusters: Her Inability to Say Whether McCain, Graham 'Want to Start WWIII'

Senior counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway is a master wordsmith whose ability to avoid tough questions is unmatched in today’s political media arena. And today she demonstrated again how flexible she can be when it comes to bobbing and weaving her way through an interview, as evidenced by her Monday morning hit on ABC’s Good Morning America.

The subject at hand as presented by coanchor George Stephanopoulos stemmed from Tweets on Sunday sent by President Donald Trump about two of his Republican colleagues, Senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Arizona’s John McCain.

POTUS accused the longtime GOP leaders of, “always looking to start World War III,” a premise that Conway danced around instead of responding to head-on Monday. Stephanopoulos asked, “How are Senators McCain and graham looking to start World War III?”

Instead of responding to that question, Conway offered, “Well the first part of the Tweet is really instructive and operative, George!”

She continued, “The President is basically saying to people, ‘You protested my nomination, you protested my candidacy, you protested my inauguration, you protested the day after the inauguration, you protested my executive orders, you protested’ — how about this cooperation and collaboration and bipartisanship that we’re always talking about?”

“Kellyanne, these are Republican Senators!” Stephanopoulos shot back. Again, she invoked the beginning of Trump Tweets instead of addressing the subject at hand. She also seemed to take a slight swipe at Graham and McCain at one point by indicating that both men have run for the office of the President before unsuccessfully.
