Conway defends Trump tweets on Russia

Kellyanne Conway on Friday defended President-elect Donald Trump’s tweets on Russia, accusing critics of seeking to question his election victory.

“Look, he’s got a point. You’ve got many people on TV trying to confuse the voters and the viewers by conflating any alleged Russian hacking with the election results, and you simply can’t show the nexus,” Conway said in an interview with Fox News.

“Vladimir Putin did not tell Hillary Clinton to ignore Macomb County, Mich., and Wisconsin … and he is absolutely right about the passion of his voters,” she added.

“I think retroactively folks are still looking for an excuse that isn’t named Hillary Clinton or her disastrous campaign.”

Conway, who served as manager of the Trump campaign, has been named counselor to the president for the incoming White House.

Trump questioned the findings of the intelligence community on Thursday after new reports suggested that the Democratic National Committee did not let the FBI examine its hacked servers.

“So how and why are they so sure about hacking if they never even requested an examination of the computer servers? What is going on?” Trump asked in a tweet.
