Conway: We’ll Retract Our Assassination Attempt Claim When CNN Stops Saying The Race Is Over [VIDEO]

Business Insider reports:

CNN anchor Jake Tapper confronted Donald Trump’s campaign manager over several campaign officials promoting the false and entirely baseless assertion that a protester at Saturday’s rally in Nevada was attempting to assassinate Donald Trump.

On Sunday, Tapper asked Kellyanne Conway why the Republican nominee’s son Donald Trump Jr., as well as the nominee’s social media manager Dan Scavino, were retweeting a message labeling the incident as an assassination attempt, despite the Secret Service’s statement which contradicted both Trump officials’ claims.

“They’re retweeting misinformation that this was an assassination attempt. It was not an assassination attempt, thankfully. Should they be spreading this misinformation?” Tapper asked.

Conway didn’t directly address Tapper’s question, claiming that campaign officials were receiving death threats, and pointing out that Crities, a self-described Republican, had campaigned actively for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Conway attempted to flip the question on Tapper, asking CNN to apologize for pundits who declared Trump’s campaign to be virtually over. “You guys retract that, and I’ll give a call to Dan Scavino about the retweet,” Conway said.
