Throughout the 2016 campaign ABC, CBS, and NBC allowed Trump’s paid liar, Kellyanne Conway, to avoid answering direct questions. She was given an opportunity to twist every question into an unsubstantiated attack against the most qualified presidential candidate in history, Hillary Clinton. This is the primary reason I have not watched fake television broadcast network news since 2016.

In a huge turn of events, Fox News refused to allow Conway to spin the facts on Thursday, demanding that she “answer the question.” The questions concerned Rudy Giuliani’s close Ukraine associate Lev Parnas’ claims that ‘Trump knew everything about the attempts made by himself and Trump’s personal attorney to force Ukraine officials to begin additional investigations into Joe and Hunter Biden’s actions involving business in Ukraine.’

Conway was asked if all of Parnas’ claims were 100 percent false.

“Remember, people who go on TV are never under oath.” Meanwhile, the Trump White House has blocked witnesses from testifying under oath and criticized the credibility of those who have.

Fox News anchor refused to allow Conway to laugh it off and demanded an answer.

“Are you saying flat-out, 100 percent what he alleges is not true, yes or no?” Hemmer asked.

Instead of answering yes or no, Conway went on to offer up an “objection” to the idea that Parnas could know Trump was aware of his movements. “You cannot say what someone else knew or thought,” she said. “That was a TV show, not a court of law.”

As she continued to filibuster, Hemmer interrupted her. “But back on Parnas, cut through it: Is he lying or not, Kellyanne?”

“He’s a proven liar, he’s been indicted,” she answered, again without addressing the specific claims about Trump.

Moments later, Hemmer’s co-host Sandra Smith jumped in as well. “Just to finish on that point, it’s a yes or no question,” she said. “‘Trump knew exactly what was going on,’ said Lev Parnas, and we’re asking, is that statement true or false?”

Conway was both pitiful and laughable as she continued her refusal to answer the basic question. She appeared to be losing her “talent” as a spin doctor.

“Trump knew what was going on how?” Conway said, answering the true or false question with a question of her own. “In other words, what is Lev Parnas actually saying?”

Like Trump, Conway is losing her ability to lie with conviction. After tens of thousands of lies to his supporters and the American people, no one can believe anything Trump says or tweets. His entire life has been exposed as one huge lie.

If Trump’s supporters were not like-minded white supremacists, bigots, and radicals who hate the positive changes in America, I would pity them. It is sad to watch millions of Americans focus on anger, hatred, and violent thoughts and actions. However, they choose to remain ignorant and in opposition to the principles and ideals of our founding fathers. They have offered proof that at least 40 percent of our nation’s people do not appreciate or respect what the name American truly means.HowHHohhhkkjjj
