Cooper asked Conway if she could see why many questioned the timing of Trump’s decision amid investigations into the administration’s ties to Russia. Conway did not immediately answer Cooper’s questions. At one point in the interview, Cooper rolled his eyes.
Conway gave thoughts about why Cooper rolled his eyes during a Thursday morning “FOX & Friends” appearance:

Conway stood by her answers, namely when she told Cooper that Trump as a candidate was different than Trump as a president. She then suggested that Cooper rolled his eyes out of “sexism” and took a shot at Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
“Hillary Clinton is in search of sexism as a lame excuse for why her disastrous candidacy and campaign lost six months ago,” she began. “I face sexism a lot of times when I show up for interviews like that.”
