George Conway labeled President Trump a “local moron” on Friday after the president confused punctuation marks in an attack against CNN.
The debacle began with Trump attacking Democratic House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff on Twitter Thursday. He tweeted, “Liddle’ Adam Schiff, who has worked unsuccessfully for 3 years to hurt the Republican Party and President, has just said that the Whistleblower, even though he or she only had second hand information, ‘is credible.’ How can that be with zero info and a known bias. Democrat Scam!”
A day later, the president criticized CNN for “purposely” not including in its coverage of his tweet the “hyphen” that he had included after the word, “Liddle,'” despite it actually being an apostrophe.
To show you how dishonest the LameStream Media is, I used the word Liddle’, not Liddle, in discribing Corrupt Congressman Liddle’ Adam Schiff. Low ratings @CNN purposely took the hyphen out and said I spelled the word little wrong. A small but never ending situation with CNN!

Conway, whose wife is White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, quote tweeted a story about Trump’s punctuation flub and commented, “Local moron tries to prove he’s not a moron and ends up proving he’s a moron.”
