George Conway Appears To Fact-Check Wife Kellyanne After Bonkers CNN Interview
White House adviser Kellyanne Conway duked it out with CNN’s Chris Cuomo for 39 long minutes on Thursday’s broadcast of “Cuomo Prime Time.”
The pair sparred over multiple topics, with Conway denying that President Donald Trump had lied about what he knew regarding hush-money payments to women who allegedly had affairs with him.
Their debate, below, played out pretty much as it has done before:
Trump was at the illegal hush money meeting, source says
CNN's @ChrisCuomo: "Pecker said he was at the meeting. Cohen said he knew about it and the tape says that, why deny it?"
Kellyanne Conway: "...The President said he never directed Cohen to break the law." pic.twitter.com/q3lx73sj6B— Cuomo Prime Time (@CuomoPrimeTime) December 14, 2018
However, a twist occurred after the conclusion of the show when Conway’s husband, George Conway posted this tweet:
Given that Trump has repeatedly lied about the Daniels and McDougal payments—and given that he lies about virtually everything else, to the point that his own former personal lawyer described him as a “f****ing liar”—why should we take his word over that of federal prosecutors?

Fellow Twitter users suggested that George Conway, a longtime critic of Trump, had fact-checked his own wife:

I'd pay to be a fly on the wall, at the Conway house.

Cuomo’s CNN colleague, Don Lemon, also waded into the debate.
“It is not a right for someone to come on CNN and lie and deflect,” Lemon told Cuomo. “This was a defective, dismissive and histrionic display of nonanswers.”
