KellyAnn Conway reacts to Streep! [View all]

“I’m concerned that somebody with a platform like Meryl Streep is also, I think, inciting people’s worst instincts,” Conway said. “When she won’t get up there and say, ‘I didn’t like it, but let’s try to support him and see where we can find some common ground with him.’ Which he has actually done from moment one. The moment he won, he said I’m going to be president for [all people].”

I love her suggestion that Trump has tried to mend fences since "the moment he won"! I guess she didn't read his tweet about his "enemies". Also, it is a bit much to hear Conway complain about someone "inciting people's worst instincts", considering her bosses campaign rhetoric...
