Kellyanne Conway Melts Down Trying To Name One Black Adviser In The West Wing: 'I Didn't Say That There Wasn't!'

Kellyanne Conway, counselor to Donald Trump, struggled on Sunday when she was asked to name one prominent black adviser who serves the White House in the West Wing.

During an interview on ABC's This Week program, host Jonathan Karl noted that former White House employee Omarosa Manigault said that she left her job after she began to suspect that the president is racist.

"The first time I heard her suggest those awful things about the president was in this book," Conway opined. "This is somebody what gave a glowing appraisal of Donald Trump the businessman, the star of The Apprentice, the candidate and indeed the president of the United States. She told your own network, Jon, ABC News, the day after she was fired from the White House that she had resigned. Now she's saying that she was fired."

Conway went on to insist that she had never heard Trump "use a racial slur about anyone."

"She says she heard the president use racially-charged languge even in the White House," Karl noted.

"Why didn't she tell us at the time?" Conway interrupted.

Karl also attempted to get Conway to explain who Trump was referring to when he desrcibed a group of neo-Nazis in Charlottesville "very fine people."
