Ex-DNC chair has harsh words for Conway 02:40
(CNN)Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz criticized the White House on Wednesday night after Kellyanne Conway retweeted an allegation that Wasserman Schultz did not stand or clap during a standing ovation for the widow of a slain Navy SEAL during President Donald Trump's address to Congress.
....................."
Video of the speech posted to the White House website shows Democrats and Republicans rise for a standing ovation within seconds, including Wasserman Schultz.
............................
Asked whether she received an apology from Conway, Wasserman Schultz said, "Of course she hasn't apologized, because that's their M.O."
"They generate and perpetuate fake news. They don't tell the truth. They lie, they distort, they intentionally put out false information so that they can try to control the news cycle," she said.
Wasserman Schultz said, "I don't need an apology, I need them to start telling the truth."
The Democrat also said Conway "could pick up the phone and call my office, call me and ask me if it was true. How about check the WhiteHouse.gov tape in their own office building to see if it's true, because that's how it was actually proven false as you just demonstrated on the screen. But these people are not truthful; that's why I don't trust them. Most of the American people don't trust them and that's why this President has been so wholly unpopular up to this point.".......................

This OP is about Conway's Lying tweet-not about DWS, DNC, or past GE campaign-so lets not go there please. Trump is obsessed with Hillary and now we know Conway is also. Big chips on their shoulders--and they won!
From the OP:
"Conway, one of the President's top advisers, responded to someone else's tweet by writing, "Hope this is not true. It was a moment of unity and deserved recognition."
