Kellyanne Conway: 'I Don't Know' Whether Ukraine Aid Was Being Held Up

Source: The Daily Beast

During a typically contentious and lengthy CNN interview on Sunday morning, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway insisted that she didn’t know whether President Donald Trump held up military aid because he wanted Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, Conway first attempted to claim that Biden—who is currently a national frontrunner among Democratic presidential candidates—was not a political rival of Trump’s.

After Conway claimed Trump was merely interested in unsubstantiated claims that the Bidens were guilty of wrongdoing in Ukraine because of public reports about Hunter Biden’s business dealings, she went on to say she was confident Trump never mentioned the 2020 election during his July phone call with the Ukrainian president.

The top White House aide continued to deflect and pivot as guest host Dana Bash tried to get her to acknowledge whether or not it was appropriate for Trump to pressure a foreign leader to dig up dirt on a domestic political opponent. With Conway merely saying the president’s behavior wasn’t impeachable, Bash asked if Trump engaged in a quid pro quo.

I'd also recommend CNN not have her on, unless she wants to discuss her book (Anonymous) coming out this month.

would agree, but if she says she didn't know, I am good with
that.

Time after time she has demonstrated that she is a total idiot,
absent any moral compass or basic humanity needing a stream
of replacement Eveready batteries so she can sit and spin and
relentlessly pound the trumple drum.
