Kellyanne Conway’s extended victory lap continued on Sunday morning on multiple talk shows. First, she spoke with Chuck Todd on NBC’s Meet the Press to address the nationwide anti-Trump protests that have continued for several days. A few days ago, Trump addressed the marchers in his usual contradictory manner. He first called them “professional protesters” and said it was “unfair” that they should be allowed to exercise their First Amendment right to assembly and free speech. Trump then praised their “passion for our great country” and vowed to bring everyone together.
Todd grilled Conway on how Trump could call these protests unfair, since he called for people to “march on Washington” following President Obama’s reelection in 2012. Conway, as always, switched focuses and stressed that Trump was serious about being a president to all Americans. And she says it’s on the current president, Michelle Obama, and Hillary Clinton to reassure the protesters that everything will be alright:
“[Trump is] there for them. And he is going to be a president that listens and takes the counsel of many different people, including those from the other side of the aisle.. It’s time really for President Obama and Secretary Clinton to say to these protesters, ‘This man is our president.'”
To date, both Barack Obama and Hillary have both called on Americans to unite behind Trump. Obama stated that he was “rooting for his success in uniting and leading the country.” And Hillary used her concession speech to urge people to give Trump “an open mind and a chance to lead.” Despite their sentiments, the protests launched.
Conway also visited with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday where she addressed Harry Reid’s Friday letter, which lambasted Trump and told him to bridge the gap with his detractors: “If this is going to be a time of healing, we must first put the responsibility for healing where it belongs.” He then called Trump “a sexual predator who lost the popular vote and fueled his campaign with bigotry and hate.” Reid stated that Trump may not be able to reassure all Americans, “But he owes it to this nation to try.”
Speaking with Wallace, Conway wasn’t happy with Reid: “Talk about not wanting my children to listen to somebody.” She hoped that Reid and other detractors would soon act with “responsibility and maturity” and wished that Obama would tell Reid to put a lid on it. Conway continued to express her disappointment with Reid, and summarized it all with a vague threat: “He should be very careful about characterizing somebody in a legal sense.”
