Conway: Coons Calling Buzzfeed Report a ‘Bombshell’ Is ‘Very Dangerous Rhetoric’

‘When I took over in August — I mean, I was talking to people in Michigan, not people in Moscow; and that’s how we won this election’

KING: “Can we clear up one more thing before you go about this report? Because Senator Coons says this: if there’s cooperation or collusion between Trump’s campaign and the Russians, it would be a bombshell. Can you say that nobody from the Trump campaign had any involvement with the Russians before, during, or after the campaign?”
CONWAY: “Yes, I can. As campaign manager — when I took over in August — I mean, I was talking to people in Michigan, not people in Moscow; and that’s how we won this election. I really don’t like a United States senator saying things like that, when he says, ‘if and it would be a bombshell, and it would be investigated.’ It’s just — it’s very dangerous rhetoric, particularly at a time when responsible print and electronic outlets were chasing this story and came up empty-handed, Gayle, and decided not to pursue it. Harry Reid intimated this — he made an intimation to this report on October 30, and it didn’t go anywhere because people couldn’t verify it.”
