White House counselor Kellyanne Conway addressed one of President Donald Trump’s tiffs with reporters in a post-election press conference, where he called a question asked by PBS’ Yamiche Alcindor, a black reporter, “racist.”
“I resent tremendously always being put back into this toxic stew of racism, sexism, mysogynism [sic] and xenophobia,” Conway said Wednesday, when PBS’ Judy Woodruff pushed her on Alcindor’s question about if Trump’s labeling himself a nationalist gives tacit encouragement to white nationalists.
When pressed further, Conway admitted that maybe Trump should have said that the question had “racist implications” rather than calling it “racist.”
