On CNN’s New Day, Kellyanne Conway identified the true culprits who interfered in the 2016 presidential election: the members of the press who covering it. While discussing Russian interference during the election, the senior Trump adviser declared: “Everybody who said Donald Trump couldn’t win... every screaming headline, every wrong poll, every anchor, every pundit who said this is over, it’s a joke, he can’t win… tried to interfere in the election.” She also asked CNN's Chris Cuomo if he felt “the least bit pushed back or a little ashamed” that people on CNN and elsewhere are “promising Russian collusion, impeachment, treason is coming around the corner?” Conway concluded the interview by telling the audience to, “Get out of bed, go breathe air, and have a great day.”
