“I cannot comment on any of that because there is no reason to, frankly,” Conway said on Fox & Friends.
“This entire thing is just a rush to judgment. We have been talking about this for about 8 months and yet…it’s a lot easier to scream Russia, Russia, Russia every day.”
Conway also discussed a recent clip in which CNN host Anderson Cooper rolled his eyes while conducting an interview with Conway. Conway explained that when Trump surrogates go on TV, they often aren’t treated with the same respect as other guests.

Conway referred to the phenonenom as being “Trumpist,” in the same vein that someone would call something “racist” or “sexist.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Conway condemned cable TV hosts for their unending “quest to go viral.”
“People are looking for the news,” Conway explained of the American public.
“They’re not looking for conjecture, they don’t care that something goes viral.”
