Kellyanne Conway accused CNN of making a “business decision” to be against President Trump and his agenda Sunday morning.
Conway leveled the claim during the first statement she made during an interview on “Reliable Sources” that proved to be rather contentious. She said the White House is happy to come on a network they see as an enemy.
“We’re very happy to come and take questions from an outlet that has been incredibly unfair and systematically against this president, I guess you made a business decision to do so,” Conway said.

Conway accused CNN and other media outlets of being biased against the administration but said the job of the White House is to push past that to get more “complete coverage.”
“We’re going to do what we can to push back,” she said. “I think there’s defense, there’s offense and my main grievance and my main objective … has always been can we get complete coverage?”
She pointed to 800,000 new jobs being created since Trump came into the office, 25 record high points for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and a new hotline for veterans at the White House as issues the media isn’t covering.
She also denied the idea that the White House is in crisis despite the fact that a major staff shake up happened on Friday when Sean Spicer resigned as press secretary because of the hiring of Anthony Scaramucci as communications director.
“That’s not fair. I constantly hear this out of the mouths of people who have never worked inside of any White House,” she said.
