White House counselor Kellyanne Conway took a dig at the press on Wednesday morning by claiming that members of the media who are critical of President Donald Trump suddenly become very nervous in his presence.

“I’ve seen this many times, that folks are very bold on social media against the President, they’re very bold on cable TV against the President. And then when they’re in his company, the knees start knocking, I’ve actually had to pick up people’s cell phones that they dropped and hand it back to them,” Conway said on Fox News.

She made the comments while discussing Trump’s Tuesday night tweet announcing a “MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR.” Trump said that he will announce awards for “dishonesty” and “bad reporting” next week.

Conway seemed enthusiastic about Trump’s upcoming “awards.”

“I think the struggle there will be how in the world to narrow it down to one or two winners in each of those categories,” she said on Fox News. “I’ve seen this firsthand over the last couple of years in being with candidate- and now-President Trump. You have a lot of folks out there in the mainstream media who work hard to try to get it right. You have people who are trying to get the story; you have many who are trying to get the President.”

  1. Yeah, keep telling yourself that, sister.

  2. Goodness, why does this deserve coverage?

  3. That may very well be true. Being in the presence of evil people can be very unnerving.

  4. Somebody’s knees are knocking for sure.

  5. No, Kellyanne. That isn’t the sound of knees knocking. It’s the sound of any intelligent thoughts that may enter your head trying to escape from your skull because they know they don’t belong there.
    Oh, and if you think reporters are nervous around Trump, try pitting the motherfucker against Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, or Lawrence O’Donnell instead of Sean Hannity.
    Yeah, I didn’t think so, bitch.
