WATCH: ABC host scolds Trump campaign manager for ducking questions on mass deportations



The latest campaign manager for GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump did all she could Sunday morning to avoid answering whether the candidate will attempt to deport the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants should he become president.

Appearing on ABC’s This Week, new campaign head Kellyanne Conway kept smiling and tap-dancing around the sticky question of deportation — insisting that an estimated one to two million “criminals” would be the first to go — but stopped short of answering host Martha Raddatz’s questions about the overall plan.

“He said that the priority will be criminals and those who have overstayed their visas,” Raddatz asked. “That still amounts to between 5 million and 6.5 million people that he says will be quickly removed. The cost estimate for that is between $51 billion and $67 billion. How will he manage such a massive operation and who will pay for it?”

“He’ll manage it the way it should have been managed all along, by enforcing the law and relying upon those law enforcement officers and those ICE officers to do their job,” Conway replied. “They’ve been completely hamstrung in their ability to do their job. He also has — said that he will triple the number of ICE agents to try to help.”

Must've missed the "scolding" part. I admit to looking away for. 5 seconds though. nt Guy Whitey Corngood Sep 2016 #4

She's got the title only, what kind of campaign manager goes on TV 30 times in one month

As big a liar as her boss tRump. She often accused Hillary of flip flopping, yet when the anchor tried to pin her down Conway was the one flipping and flopping and LYING like a rug. I'm sick of hearing from some pundits about how great Conway is. IF she was so great, she'd have helped someone into the White House by NOW--she's been doing her job for about 15 years as pollster and little else. She's a LOSER and a flat out LIAR just like the lying LOSER she's working for.

She let conway sit there and go on about Kaine during the first part then let conway control the interview. Raddatz did do some push back, but conway pretty much controlled her by shifting back to dipshit talking points. I hope she isn't as weak a moderator during the debates. If she had problems controlling conway she will be run over by dipshit.
