Kellyanne Conway sparred with Bill Maher over the significance of the Jan. 6 hearings, pointing out that the talk show host sees that the committee’s goal is to prevent former President Donald Trump “from ever running again.”
Maher noted allegations of Trump’s incitement of the Capitol riot and comments about then-Vice President Mike Pence during his show Friday.

“Should he be able to run again for president?” Maher asked.
“That’s what this is about,” Conway said Friday night. “At least you admit it. At least you said the quiet part out loud: that these investigations are about preventing [Trump] from ever running again.”

Maher and guest Josh Barro suggested the hearings may be a precursor to criminal prosecution by the Justice Department.
“But only if he believes that he lost,” Conway stated, insisting that the former president did believe he won in 2020 despite advisers saying he lost.

During the show’s “Overtime” segment, the 2016 Trump campaign manager and senior counselor to the former president reiterated that the Jan. 6 hearings are representative of a courtroom.
“We were talking about Jan. 6, and I wanted to gently remind everybody: It’s not a courtroom. It’s a hearing,” Conway said. “They didn’t even have the guts, I think I said balls, to subpoena [Trump], and they never do.”

She added that regardless of what comes of the Jan. 6 committee’s efforts, the GOP nominee will be someone that runs on an “America First” agenda.
