Kellyanne Conway Swipes at the Media Over McMaster Report: ‘They Keep Recycling Rumors’

White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway appeared on Fox News as President Trump reportedly ordered the removal of National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster.

Right off the bat, Sean Hannity dismissed the reports, telling viewers he has “sources in the White House” who told him that no departure is “imminent in any way” and that “nobody’s leaving.”

Well, Conway seemed to neither confirm nor deny the reports regarding McMaster’s future in the White House.

“The president makes the personnel decisions and announcements in this White House, Sean,” Conway responded.

“Wait, it’s not Maggie Haberman?” Hannity chuckled.

Conway went on to say that it’s “incredible” that while people in the media “want to get the story,” the also want to “get the president also.”

“They won’t cover policy, they cover personnel. They won’t cover principle, they cover palace intrigue and they keep on recycling rumors and stories constantly that have no basis in fact and I think they figure ‘Hey, if a stopped clock is at least right twice a day, eventually I’ll get this right,'” Conway continued. “This president has every right to put the team around him that he thinks aligns with his vision. His values. But he is the one that controls the timing, the tone, and content of all substantive and personnel decisions and I respect that enormously.”

She also dismissed the reported “chaos” at the White House and told Hannity she has seen “sophistication” and that Trump has “a great deal of joy on the job” and isn’t “fuming” or “angry,” which she called “fake news.”
