Mediaite reports:
Counselor to President Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway, joined Fox News’s America’s Newsroom Friday morning to defend the commander-in-chief’s remarks Thursday night on cutting entitlement programs – a comment on which he is now backtracking.
Host Ed Henry told Conway, “You were there at that town hall; he said the opposite. He said in his second term would cut Social Security and Medicare and cut entitlement programs. Why did he say that?”
Conway fired back, “He didn’t say that. You are misquoting him.” She added, “When I talked to him after I said there were some articles and Twitter traffic that says the following and he said no, I’m talking about cutting deficits.”
Conway continued to deny Trump’s words even after Henry rolled tape from last night. Watch below.
I will protect your Social Security and Medicare, just as I have for the past 3 years. Sleepy Joe Biden will destroy both in very short order, and he won’t even know he’s doing it!
