Tapper to Conway: Pence and the Admin Gave Op-Ed ‘Credibility’ with Denials

RUSH EXCERPT:

TAPPER: "I can tell you as an anchor that I gave the story more attention after vice president pence and secretary of state Pompeo and the entire cabinet came out and gave the op-ed credibility. It never even crossed my mind. I told this to you privately. It never crossed my mind it was vice president pence until pence was out there saying it wasn’t him. He and the administration gave this op-ed credibility."
CONWAY: "I want to say something else. This person, obviously, is motivated by skeet and deceit and I don’t think should be viewed with credibility. But also that — the opinion being expressed is not widely held. It’s widely held around tables like this and not around kitchen tables. Thank you for covering economic boom. The boom in wages and labor and manufacturing and construction is discussed around kitchen table not cable news."
