White House counselor Kellyanne Conway mocked Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) during an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday, calling her a “29-year-old congresswoman who doesn’t seem to know much about anything.”
Conway’s criticism came during an interview on “America’s Newsroom” about possible successors to White House chief of staff John Kelly. Conway criticized Ocasio-Cortez for describing Kelly as a liar.
“[Kelly] is in his fifth decade of public service, and this country owes him a debt of gratitude, not the nonsense that has been spewed about him recently from the left, and from this 29-year-old congresswoman who doesn’t seem to know much about anything when you ask her basic concepts about the economy, or the Middle East, or military funding,” Conway told anchor Bill Hemmer.
“[It’s] really embarrassing. And for her to even use a slur against him yesterday — I won’t repeat her name or the slur,” Conway said.
“Let me stand up for Gen. John Kelly. He has done a magnificent job for this country for almost 50 years, including here at the White House as our chief of staff for about a year and a half.” – READ MORE
