Conway: Trump Doesn’t Want a Bunch of Yes Men Around Him

‘This president should be respected and regarded as someone who was always welcomed a diversity of viewpoints, ideas and backgrounds’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

GINGRICH: "You obviously liked the limelight and media. I would say that he is not being very effective. I think he got down here from New York and is very excited. I think is talking more than his thinking. He needs to slow down and learn the business." 
MacCALLUM: "What would you say to newt about that comment?" 
CONWAY: "I know Anthony scaramucci very well. I think Anthony would agree with some of that. He’s been very forthcoming about his remarks. He regrets some of the language and how it was used. But he’s also very passionate and the president likes passionate fighters. I think that role is one that is more long-term strategic thinking. Where you can deploy men and women who are really terrific about taking the press questions and giving a briefing and constantly has to stop and say what will this look like to the country a month or two for now. How can we convey what the president said about ms-13? 
MacCALLUM: "I think that is what the job is." 
CONWAY: "Newt Gingrich both possess these qualities that Donald Trump really appreciates. They are fighters and are passionate and articulate about the agenda and why they’re there there. The fact is this president should be respected and regarded as someone who was always welcomed a diversity of viewpoints, ideas and backgrounds. He will continue to do that and not because he wants a bunch of yes-men around. He wants input and ideas and is confident enough to make his own decisions and he was elected to do so."
