Kellyanne Conway, special adviser to the president of the United States, didn’t mince words this morning during an appearance on the Fox News show “Fox & Friends” when it came to the topic of Hillary Clinton and the failed Democrat’s latest remarks about President Donald Trump and the Republicans.
Conway called out failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for the “dangerous” comments she made on Wednesday during an interview on CNN about abandoning civility in politics, as Mediaite and others also noted.
Speaking to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday, the former secretary of state, who is now 70, indicated that polite discourse between people on the Left and the Right is no longer possible today.
Sitting there opining on this just after she and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, announced a paid, 13-city North American speaking tour beginning before Thanksgiving, Hillary Clinton actually declared, “You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about.”
Conway, speaking Wednesday morning on “Fox & Friends,” could not hold back on calling out Clinton for those over-the-top remarks — and for the blatant way Clinton has profoundly ignored the triumphs and successes of this president so far, and for the actions by her fellow Democrats when it comes to discourse and behavior in this country, including the recent highly contentious battle over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court.
“I think her discourse now is a little bit dangerous. I don’t like the implications there,” said Conway on Wednesday morning.

“I don’t like that kind of talk and I avoid it. My boss has called for civility,” said Conway.
“He says he represents all Americans. We don’t run around asking people what their party affiliation is when he is cutting their taxes and allowing small businesses to be free of regulations and growth. We are impervious to that.”
Conway talked about the upcoming Bill and Hillary Clinton speaking tour — and said she found Mrs. Clinton’s comments “unfortunate and graceless.”
The Clintons’ tour will include Las Vegas; Sugar Land, Texas; New York City; Detroit; Philadelphia; Wallingford, Connecticut; Washington, D.C.; Boston; Seattle; and Los Angeles.
Canadian cities on the tour include Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.
Live Nation Entertainment describes the events as “joint on-stage conversations with the two leaders sharing stories and inspiring anecdotes that shaped their historic careers in public service, while also discussing issues of the day and looking toward the future.”
In her interview on Tuesday with CNN, Hillary Clinton’s words were these: “You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about.”
She also said, “That’s why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.”
