Kellyanne Conway storms out of briefing room after reporters call on her to answer Jim Acosta’s question

Published

While White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham refuses to hold press briefings, senior counselor Kellyanne Conway has been willing to talk to the press. That is unless the press asks questions she doesn’t want to answer.

Such was the case Friday when Conway came to the briefing room to answer questions by reporters. When CNN’s Jim Acosta asked if the White House was holding back evidence on Ukraine, Conway was annoyed. She started to lecture Acosta.

Playboy reporter Brian Karem backed up Acosta.

“It’s a simple question,” he said.

Conway stormed out.

Conway isn’t the first one who has run from answering such a question. When confronted by CNN Thursday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) refused to answer if he agreed Trump’s call with Ukraine was “perfect” and agreed with his conduct. Cruz went to another reporter who asked the same question. Cruz similarly stormed off.

Last week, when CNN’s Manu Raju asked Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) if she would consider the trove of documents released by Rudy Giuliani’s associate Lev Parnas, it didn’t go well. Instead of having a rational conversation about facts and information, McSally snapped at the reporter and refused to speak to him, calling him a “liberal hack.” When she was questioned about her response, she told the world that she was a victim of the press and started fundraising off of it and selling T-shirts about it.

But by night, she was Twitter handle @TheLillyLawyer, a self-described “baby prosecutor that can always be found below the Mason-Dixon line.”

Brown had been tweeting anonymously as @TheLillyLawyer for several years. Unfortunately for her, she continued doing so after she passed the South Carolina bar exam and became a prosecutor in late 2017. When she had something to say about anyone at work—including magistrates, crime survivors, witnesses, cops and defense lawyers—she made sure to tweet it for the world to see.

‘For heaven’s sake’: The Denver Post declares ‘Coloradans deserve better than Cory Gardner’

Published

The decision to acquit President Donald Trump resulted in a blistering local newspaper editorial against one Republican facing a tough reelection in 2020.

Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) voted that Trump was not guilty on charges of abuses of power and obstruction of Congress on Wednesday. On Thursday, The Denver Post responded to his decision.

"U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner either thinks it’s OK for a president to pressure a foreign government to investigate a U.S. citizen for personal and political gain or he’s too afraid to criticize this president for doing just that," the newspaper noted. "We’re not sure which is worse."

"So everybody is mad at you," Maddow noted. "Do you understand why that is? Does the buck stop with you? Should people be mad at the national Democratic Party?"

"Well listen, I understand that is part of the job. What happened in Iowa was unacceptable and the [Iowa Democratic Party] chair has acknowledged that, he's apologized for that and we have worked together over the past few days to fix the challenges and I'm very relieved that we now have 100% reported."
