White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Sunday deflected questions about President Donald Trump’s statements about children who died in the custody of Border Patrol, instead defending his efforts to resolve immigration issues and the government shutdown.

Speaking to host Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Conway called the deaths “tragic” but said, “I don’t like some of these Democrats using these deaths as political pawns.”

“The president’s point is an important one,” she said when asked about Trump’s tweet Saturday that stated, “Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally.”

Conway added: “The president does not want these children to come on the perilous journey to begin with. They are paying now — some of them are paying the ultimate price.”

In a contentious discussion with Bash, Conway kept asking “Where are they?” about Democratic leadership. Congress remains adjourned as a partial government shutdown that began last weekend continues with no end in sight.............................

1. A Headline like that is infuriating. Not against KAC but whomever the host was

There should not be this kind of headline anymore!

It should either be:

"In heartfelt breakdown, Kellyanne Conway sobbed loudly about how sorry she is for misleading the American public and lying for the President"

or

"Kellyanne Conway leaves the set abruptly, after she stubbornly, and continuously refused to answer questions on the deaths of children under the care of Border Patrol, after the host kept repeating the same unanswered question over and over"

2. "The president's point is an important one..."

He doesn't care about children dying.

3. Why do they let that lying bitch talk on tv?

4. CNN didn't show that KAC is in Florida

Usually a news organization would list where a person was when they're not in the studio.

It's bad enough that CNN lets KAC spew her lies unchecked. Now they're helping her cover up where she is, when the administration is pointing at Democrats who are out of town.

eta: It's already been verified that it's her and she's in FL, from other posts.

5. Conway kept asking "Where are they?"- Hey conway, "Where are THE KIDS?

and why haven't you found all of them?

6. Conway is the freakin' Queen of Deflection.

Textbooks will be written based on her endless supply of "how to avoid answering the actual question" techniques.
