Trump’s team has rushed to Bannon’s defense in recent days, even as some other Republicans have been hesitant to do so, trying to reassure Americans that the incoming chief strategist is not the man that his website’s headlines would make him out to be. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, who will be Trump’s chief of staff, said Bannon was “a force for good on this campaign,” a message Conway echoed Tuesday on NBC’s “Today.”

“I promise you he’s not as scary and he is as brilliant a tactician and our campaign general, frankly, on the field, as everyone is also saying, Savannah. I know him well. I work hand-in-glove with him and I feel that these charges are very unfair,” Conway told anchor Savannah Guthrie. “In terms of him being the public face of the campaign, I mean, that’s a decision that we’ve made strategically. They put me out there all the time. I would love to share the stage with him and others, believe me.”
