Believe in Trump and don't trust your lying eyes could've been the motto for President Trump's press team this weekend. Following an awkward announcement from Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, in which he angrily delivered a series of easily fact-checked falsehoods to the press before storming out without answering questions, former campaign chief and now senior white house adviser, Kellyanne Conway, gave an ominously Orwellian interview to NBC News's, Chuck Todd, on Sunday's episode of Meet The Press.
The clip above is edited to the most explosive parts of the interview when Kellyanne delivers a not so veiled threat to NBC News by saying.
Chuck, if we are going to keep referring to our press secretary in those types of terms, I think that we are going to have to rethink our relationship here...
In other words if you are going criticize us for lying we will attempt to sideline your network. This is a disgusting attack on the free press for doing their jobs. I think the press should act first and stop giving Kellyanne air-time.
If that wasn't bad enough, Kellyanne, followed it up by coining the now famous term 'alternative facts'. Chuck did a great job of holding Kellyanne's feet to the fire on the issue.
The scariest part about this whole ordeal is that we now know the Trump administration will lie about things that can be easily fact-checked. How can they be trusted when they deliver news that no one else is able to corroborate? I shudder to think of the not so trivial issues we will be lied to about in the future.
